- Poster evaluates potential impact of waiting until Day 4 (and after 12 doses of TERLIVAZ) before assessing outcomes in adult patients with HRS with rapid reduction in kidney function1 -
DUBLIN , Nov. 18, 2024/PRNewswire/ -- Mallinckrodt plc, a global specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced a poster presentation on TERLIVAZ® (terlipressin) for injection in patients with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) with rapid reduction in kidney function1 at The Liver Meeting, the annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), taking place in San Diego, CA, from November 15-19, 2024.
TERLIVAZ is the first and only FDA-approved product indicated to improve kidney function in adults with HRS with rapid reduction in kidney function,1 an acute and life-threatening condition requiring hospitalization.2 HRS involving rapid reduction in kidney function1 is estimated to affect more than 42,000 Americans annually, approximately 0.01% of the U.S. population,3 making it a very rare condition; and rates of hospitalizations are increasing.4
Please see Limitation of Use and Important Safety Information, including Boxed Warning, below.
The poster presentation includes a pooled patient cohort analysis from the CONFIRM, REVERSE, and OT-0401 Phase 3 studies of TERLIVAZ.5 The research evaluated HRS reversal among patients on Day 4 after 12 doses of TERLIVAZ.5 TERLIVAZ treatment is recommended at a dose of 1 mg every six hours for up to 14 days, which can be escalated on Day 4 to 2 mg every six hours if the patient's serum creatinine (SCr) has decreased from baseline but by less than 30%.5 In the analysis, most patients who achieved HRS reversal by the end of treatment required continuation of therapy beyond Day 4.5
The limitations of this study include, but are not limited to, small sample sizes, variables in methodology, and possible errors and omissions within the data sets.5
"We are pleased to share research which evaluated HRS reversal among patients after 12 doses or on Day 4 of treatment," said Peter Richardson, MRCP (UK), Executive Vice President & Chief Scientific Officer. "This research further suggests the need to deliver the recommended treatment duration before assessing the patient's response."
This study was sponsored by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals. Presentation details can be found below:

ABOUT HEPATORENAL SYNDROME (HRS)
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) involving rapid reduction in kidney function1 is an acute and life-threatening condition that occurs in people with advanced liver disease2 HRS is classified into two distinct types - a rapidly progressive type that leads to acute renal failure where patients are typically hospitalized for their care and a more chronic type that progresses over weeks to months.2 HRS involving rapid reduction in kidney function1 is estimated to affect more than 42,000 Americans annually, approximately 0.01% of the U.S. population,3 making it a very rare condition; and rates of hospitalizations are increasing.4 If left untreated, HRS with rapid reduction in kidney function1 has a median survival time of less than two weeks and greater than 80 percent mortality within three months.6
