Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of odevixibat in participants with Alagille syndrome (ALGS). The participants of this study will have ALGS a rare genetic disorder that can affect multiple organ systems of the body including the liver, heart, skeleton, eyes and kidneys. Common symptoms, which often develop during the first three months of life, include blockage of the flow of bile from the liver (cholestasis), yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes (jaundice), poor weight gain and growth and severe itching (pruritis). The drug used for the study is odevixibat and was authorized for the treatment of cholestatic pruritus in infants with ALGS over 12 months of age by the United States Food and Drug Administration on 13 June 2023.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (7)

Assessed as change in scratching score as measured by measured by the Albireo Observer-Reported Outcome Caregiver Instrument.
Baseline to week 72 (cohort 1).
Percentage of participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An Adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that results in any of following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. Treatment-emergent adverse events. TEAEs included both Serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs.
Baseline to week 12 (cohort 2).
Percentage of participants with clinically significant changes from baseline in Physical Examination
The clinical significance will be graded by the investigator.
Baseline to week 12 (cohort 2).
