Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., headquartered in Foster City, California, is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative therapies for rare and orphan diseases. The firm recently announced its participation at the Goldman Sachs 45th Annual Global Healthcare Conference in Miami, scheduled for June 12th at 10:00 AM EDT. Additional details and webcast links are available on the company's website.
Mirum Pharmaceuticals is devoted to transforming the treatment landscape for rare diseases affecting both pediatric and adult populations. The company boasts a portfolio of three FDA-approved medications:
LIVMARLI® (maralixibat) oral solution,
CHOLBAM® (cholic acid) capsules, and
CHENODAL® (chenodiol) tablets.
LIVMARLI is an
ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT) inhibitor, approved for treating two rare liver conditions that affect children and adults. In the United States, it is sanctioned for the treatment of
cholestatic pruritus in patients with
Alagille syndrome who are three months of age or older. In Europe, it is approved for patients aged two months and older, and it is available in various other global regions. Additionally, in the U.S., LIVMARLI is approved for managing cholestatic pruritus in
progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) in patients aged five years and older.
CHOLBAM is another FDA-approved treatment, aimed at managing
bile acid synthesis disorders caused by
single enzyme deficiencies and serving as an adjunctive treatment for
peroxisomal disorders in patients displaying signs or symptoms of
liver disease.
CHENODAL, the third approved medication, is recognized by the FDA as a necessary treatment for patients with
cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX), a rare genetic disorder.
Mirum's pipeline also features promising late-stage investigational treatments targeting debilitating liver diseases.
Volixibat, another IBAT inhibitor, is under evaluation in two potentially registrational Phase 2b studies: the VISTAS study for
primary sclerosing cholangitis and the VANTAGE study for
primary biliary cholangitis. Furthermore, CHENODAL has been subject to a Phase 3 clinical trial named RESTORE, aimed at treating patients with CTX, with positive topline results announced in 2023.
In summary, Mirum Pharmaceuticals is committed to offering novel therapies for rare diseases, with a strong focus on liver conditions. The company's efforts encompass both the commercialization of approved treatments and the continued development of investigational therapies to address unmet medical needs within the rare disease community.
