  • Having completed the EOT Visit, for subjects coming from the maralixibat Phase 2 studies.
  • Having completed the entire duration of the study (i.e., core and extension, if applicable), for subjects coming from the maralixibat Phase 3 studies.
  • At least 1 year of age

A subject will be excluded from the study if any of the following exclusion criteria are met:

  • Experienced an AE or SAE related to maralixibat during the lead-in protocol that led to permanent discontinuation of the subject from maralixibat.
  • Any conditions or abnormalities (including laboratory abnormalities) which, in the opinion of the Investigator or Medical Monitor may compromise the safety of the subject or interfere with the subject participating in or completing the study.
  • History of non-adherence to medical regimens, unreliability, medical condition, mental instability or cognitive impairment that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor medical monitor, could compromise the validity of informed consent, compromise the safety of the subject, or lead to non-adherence with the study protocol or inability to conduct the study procedures.
