E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Primary Objective:
To demonstrate superiority of RP103 versus Cystagon® in controlling white blood cell cystine (WBC) levels over 24 hours in patients with cystinosis and to assess long-term safety and tolerability of RP103 |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary Objectives:
To compare WBC cystine measurements provided by a central
laboratory versus sites’ local (regional, not associated with the
clinical trial) laboratories.
To assess long-term quality of life and sleep using instruments
appropriate to the subjects’ age and region (US or Europe).
To assess subject dosing compliance with two different
cysteamine bitartrate formulations, Q6H immediate-release
Cystagon® versus Q12H delayed-release RP103.
To assess halitosis during Cystagon® and RP103 treatment in a
subgroup of subjects |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Male or female with a documented diagnosis of cystinosis.
2. On a stable dose of Cystagon® for at least 21 days prior to
Screening.
3. WBC cystine level > 1 nmol ½ cystine/mg of protein on
average over at least 2 measurements collected during the 2
years prior to Screening.
4. No clinically significant change in liver function tests, i.e. 1.5
times ULN for ALT and AST, and/or 1.5 times ULN for total
bilirubin, within 6 months prior to Screening.
5. No clinically significant change in renal function, i.e.
estimated GFR within 6 months prior to Screening.
6. Must have an estimated GFR > 20 mL/minute/1.73 m2 (using
the equation from Schwartz 2009 J Am Soc Nephrol 20:629-
637) 1.
7. Female subjects who are sexually active and of childbearing
potential, i.e. not surgically sterile (tubal ligation, bilateral
oopherectomy, or hysterectomy) or at least 2 years naturally
postmenopausal must agree to use an acceptable form of
contraception from Screening through completion of the
study. Acceptable forms of contraception for this study
include hormonal contraceptives (oral, implant, transdermal
patch, or injection) at a stable dose for at least 3 months prior
to Screening, barrier (spermicidal condom or diaphragm with
spermicide), IUD, or a partner who has been vasectomized
for at least 6 months.
8. Subject or their parent or guardian must provide written
informed consent and assent (where applicable) prior to
participation in the study.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Younger than 12 years of age.
2. Current history of the following conditions or any other
health issues that make it, in the opinion of the Investigator,
unsafe for study participation:
- Inflammatory bowel disease if currently active, or
prior resection of small intestine;
- Heart disease (e.g. myocardial infarction, heart
failure, unstable arrhythmias, or poorly controlled
hypertension) within 90 days prior to Screening;
-Active bleeding disorder within 90 days prior to
Screening;
- History of malignant disease within 2 years prior to
Screening.
3. Hemoglobin level of < 9 g/dL at Screening or, in the opinion
of the Investigator, a hemoglobin level that would make it
unsafe for study participation.
4. Known hypersensitivity to cysteamine and penicillamine.
5. Female subjects who are nursing, planning a pregnancy, or
are known or suspected to be pregnant.
6. Subjects who, in the opinion of the Investigator, are not able
or willing to comply with study requirements. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Comparison of steady-state cysteamine-trough WBC cystine
levels between Cystagon® and RP103 over 3 months for each
treatment period.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
study visits will occur every month during both the 3 month Cystagon® treatment and the 4 month RP103 treatment period, with one additional study visit at Month 3.5 to assess WBC cystine levels for potential dose increase(s) during the first month
taking RP103. Months 1-2-3 vs. Months 5-6-7 (comparing the Cystagon and RP103 3-month treatment periods) |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Safety Endpoints:
- The safety profile of RP103 will be investigated by changes
from the last study visit as noted in the following safety
assessments: physical examination, vital signs, ECG and
clinical laboratory testing. Incidence of adverse event report
(including attribution of treatment-emergent non-serious and
serious adverse events) will be recorded.
Pharmacokinetic Endpoint:
- Halitosis Substudy participants only: Cmax, Tmax and AUCs
for plasma cysteamine and expired air DMS concentrations
will be determined.
Pharmacodynamic Endpoint:
-The WBC cystine content will be measured from samples
collected within 15 minutes pre-dose under Cystagon® or 30
minutes post-dose under RP103 at each study visit.
Exploratory Endpoints:
-Central laboratory versus local laboratory WBC cystine
values.
-The longitudinal change in the use of concomitant gastric
acid reduction therapies, quality of life questionnaires, and
VAS swallowing difficulty and sleep rating scale scores. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Monthly Study Visits are only for patients who completed Study RP103-03 and will begin within 1 month (± 7 days) after study entry. Each patient will complete a minimum of 6 consecutive Monthly visits.
Quarterly Study Visits will commence for each patient ≥ 1 month and < 4 months after the patient has completed at least 6 consecutive Monthly visits.
Each Quarterly visit will take place by the middle of the first month (± 7 days) of each calendar quarter (i.e., January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15).
Depending on enrollment timing, up to 6 Quarterly visits may occur over this 3 year study |
