E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
In patients with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC), impairment of the egress of bile acids from the liver leads to cholestasis, hepatocellular injury and damage, and progressive liver disease that may ultimately lead to the need for liver transplantation. Itch is a common symptom associated with cholestasis, it can occur at all stages of cholestatic liver disease, with or without jaundice.

10. Caregivers (and age appropriate subjects) must be willing and able to use an eDiary device as required by the study. To accommodate potential cultural restrictions within the FIC1 affected population a paper version of the ItchRO diary will be made available.
11. Caregivers (and age appropriate subjects) using the eDiary must digitally accept the licensing agreement in the eDiary software at the outset of the study.
12. Caregivers (and age appropriate subjects) must complete at least 10 eDiary reports (morning or evening) during each of two consecutive weeks of the screening period, prior toassignment (maximum possible reports = 14 per week). Subjects using a paper diary must complete the same number of reports within the same timeframe.
To participate in optional follow-up treatment period subjects must meet the following criteria:
1. The subject has either:
completed the protocol through the Week 72 visit with no major safety concerns .
OR
discontinued due to safety reasons judged unrelated to the study drug, and blood tests
have returned to levels acceptable for this patient population/individual and subject does not meet any of the protocol’s stopping rules at re-entry. The decision will be made by the investigator in consultation with the Sponsor Medical Monitor. [Subjects who were discontinued for other reasons will be considered on an individual basis.]
2. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test (β-hCG) at the time of entry into the optional follow-up treatment period.
3. Informed consent and assent (per IRB/EC) as appropriate. |

1. Chronic diarrhea requiring specific intravenous fluid or nutritional intervention for the diarrhea and/or its sequelae.
2. Surgical disruption of the enterohepatic circulation at the time at screening. Subjects who have undergone reversal of a prior surgical procedure intended to disrupt enterohepatic circulation and who and have a permanently restored flow of bile acids from the liver to the terminal ileum may be eligible for the study upon consultation with the Sponsor Medical Monitor.
3. Liver transplant.
4. Decompensated cirrhosis [international normalized ratio (INR) > 1.5, albumin < 30 g/L, history or presence of clinically significant ascites, variceal hemorrhage, and/or encephalopathy].
5. ALT >15×ULN at screening.

15. Investigational drug, biologic, or medical device within 30 days prior to screening, or 5 halflives of the study agent, whichever is longer.
16. History of non-adherence to medical regimens, unreliability, mental instability or
incompetence that could compromise the validity of informed consent or lead to non-adherence with the study protocol based on Investigator judgment.
17. Any other conditions or abnormalities which, in the opinion of the Investigator or Medical Monitor, may compromise the safety of the subject, or interfere with the subject participating in or completing the study.
Subjects will be excluded from the optional follow-up treatment period if they meet the following criteria:

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy endpoint is mean change from baseline to Week 13 in fasting serum bile acids.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Day: 0, 28, 56, 91, 168, 196, 252, 336, 420, 504, 588, 602, 672, 756, 840, every three months thereafter, and at the EOT visit. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary efficacy endpoints include change from baseline to Week 48 in biochemical markers of cholestasis and liver disease (ALT, total and direct bilirubin) and change from baseline to Week 48 in pruritus as measured by the average daily score of the ItchRO instrument.
The safety and long-term durability of effect of LUM001 in patients
will be assessed during 124-weeks of treatment. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Continuous variables will be summarized using descriptive statistics including n, mean, median, standard deviation, and range (i.e., minimum and maximum). Qualitative variables will be summarized using counts and percentages. Summaries will be provided by study phase (Weeks 0-13, 14-72, 73-124) and over the entire study duration (Weeks 0-124), by visit and by stable dosing dose group (if appropriate). All data will be reported in data listings. All statistical tests will be conducted at the 0.05 significance level using two-tailed tests and p-values will be reported. Given the rare nature of PFIC, the statistical power of any comparison is limited. As such the analysis will be largely descriptive in nature. |
