Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a rare inherited liver disease that causes a build-up of bile acids in the liver. This can lead to severe itching (pruritus), poor sleep, impaired growth, liver damage, and in some cases the need for surgery or liver transplantation. The purpose of this non-interventional, retrospective study is to compare long-term health outcomes in patients with PFIC. The comparison is between patients who received odevixibat in two odevixibat clinical trials (Studies A4250-005 and A4250-008) and an aligned, balanced external control cohort of patients with PFIC from the Natural course and Prognosis of PFIC and Effect of biliary Diversion (NAPPED) registry who were not treated with odevixibat (or other ileal bile acid transporter \[IBAT\] inhibitors). Outcomes such as liver transplantation, death, and surgical biliary diversion (SBD) will be examined to better understand how treatment with odevixibat compares to the natural course of PFIC. This study aims to provide a robust comparative evaluation of long-term clinical outcomes with odevixibat.

Part A: Liver transplant-free survival (LTFS)
Timeframe: From the date of first odevixibat treatment or from the date of first registry entry into NAPPED group where OvEC cohort eligibility criteria were met, until the first occurrence of the defined event or last available follow-up (2017-2025)
Part B: Liver transplant-free survival (LTFS)
Timeframe: From the date of first odevixibat treatment (Odevixibat Cohort) or from the from the date of SBD (External control cohort) until the first occurrence of the defined event or last available follow-up (2017-2025)
