What is Bylvay?

Bylvay is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Albireo Pharma, Inc. Bylvay is an ileal bile acid transporter inhibitor (IBAT inhibitor) used for the treatment of pruritus in patients 3 months of age and older with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC).

PFIC is a rare hereditary liver disease in which liver cells cannot produce and secrete bile properly, causing a build-up of bile in the liver cells. This is called cholestasis. Cholestasis damages the liver, causing cirrhosis and liver failure within the first ten years of life. There are three known types of PFIC: PFIC type 1, PFIC type 2, and PFIC type 3. Bylvay may not be effective in PFIC type 2 patients with ABCB11 variants resulting in a non-functional or complete absence of bile salt export pump protein (BSEP-3).

The odevixibat also holds orphan drug designations for the treatment of Alagille Syndrome, biliary atresia, and primary biliary cholangitis.

What doses of Bylvay are available?

Bylvay is available in oral pellet form, in the following doses: 200 mcg, and 600 mcg, and in capsule form in the following doses: 400 mcg, and 1200 mcg.

This medication comes in 2 dosage forms, a capsule to swallow or a capsule that contains pellets to sprinkle on soft food. The recommended dosage is 40 mcg/kg once daily in the morning with a meal. If there is no improvement in pruritus after 3 months, your dosage may be increased up to 120 mcg/kg once daily. The maximum daily dose is 6 mg.

If you are taking bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine, colesevelam, or colestipol, take Bylvay at least 4 hours before or at least 4 hours after taking these other medications.

Please see the full prescribing information and always speak with a healthcare professional about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Bylvay active ingredients

The active ingredient of Bylvay is odevixibat. Although the complete mechanism by which odevixibat improves pruritus in PFIC patients is not fully understood, it may involve inhibition of the IBAT, resulting in decreased reuptake of bile salts, as seen by a decrease in serum bile acids.

Bylvay side effects

The most common side effects of Bylvay in clinical trials compared to placebo include:

  • Liver test abnormalities – obtain baseline liver tests and monitor during treatment
  • Diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting
  • Fat-soluble vitamin deficiency – supplement if deficiency is observed. If FSV deficiency persists or worsens despite FSV supplementation, discontinue treatment

Your caregiver will assess the benefits of using Bylvay against your risk of adverse events. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Bylvay to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Bylvay drug interactions

Bylvay can interact with other medications. These include:

  • Bile acid-binding resins – cholestyramine, colesevelam, or colestipol

This list is not exhaustive and other prescription drugs may interact with Bylvay.
