Title:	Crystal modifications of odevixibat
Abstract:	The present invention relates to crystal modifications of 1,1-dioxo-3,3-dibutyl-5-phenyl-7-methylthio-8-(N--{(R)-.alpha.-[N--((S)-1- -carboxypropyl)carbamoyl]-4-hydroxybenzyl}carbamoylmethoxy)-2,3,4,5-tetrah- ydro-1,2,5-benzothiadiazepine (odevixibat), more specifically crystal modifications 1 and 2 of odevixibat. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of crystal modification 1 of odevixibat, to a pharmaceutical composition comprising crystal modification 1, and to the use of this crystal modification in the treatment of various conditions as described herein.
