E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The objectives of this study are:
•To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of LUM001 in children with ALGS.
•To evaluate the effect of LUM001 on serum bile acid levels in children with ALGS.
•To evaluate the effect of LUM001 on biochemical markers of cholestasis and liver disease in children with ALGS.
•To evaluate the effect of LUM001 on pruritus in children with ALGS.
•To evaluate the long-term durability of effect of LUM001 in children with ALGS during 48-weeks of treatment.

|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
To participate in this study subjects must meet all of the following criteria:
1.Male or female between the ages of 12 months and 18 years inclusive.
2.Diagnosis of ALGS .
3.Evidence of cholestasis (one or more of the following):
a.Total serum bile acid > 3x ULN for age.
b.Conjugated bilirubin > 1 mg/dL.
c.Fat soluble vitamin deficiency otherwise unexplainable.
d.GGT > 3x ULN for age.
e.Intractable pruritus explainable only by liver disease.
4.Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test during Screening.
5.Sexually active females must be prepared to use an effective method of contraception during the trial, such as:
a.Hormonal (e.g., contraceptive pill, patch, intramuscular implant or injection).
b.Barrier method, i.e., (a) condom (male or female) or (b) diaphragm, with spermicide.
c.Intrauterine device (IUD).
6.Subject is expected to have a consistent caregiver(s) for the duration of the study.
7.Informed consent and assent (per IRB/IEC) as appropriate.
8.Access to phone for scheduled calls from study site.
9.Caregivers (and age appropriate subjects) must be willing and able to use an eDiary device during the study.
10.Caregivers (and age appropriate subjects) must digitally accept the licensing agreement in the eDiary software.
11.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 (maximum possible reports = 14 per week).
12.Average daily score >2 on the Itch Reported Outcome (ItchRO™) questionnaire (maximum possible daily score of 4) for two consecutive weeks in the screening period, prior to dosing. A daily score is the higher of the scores for the morning and evening ItchRO. The average daily score is the sum of all daily scores divided by the number of days the ItchRO was completed.

|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Subjects will be excluded from the study if they meet any of the following criteria:
1.Chronic diarrhea requiring ongoing intravenous fluid or nutritional intervention.
2.Surgical interruption of the enterohepatic circulation.
3.Previous liver transplant.
4.Decompensated cirrhosis [ALT >15 x ULN, INR >1.5 (unresponsive to vitamin K therapy), albumin < 3.0 gm/dL, history or presence of clinically significant ascites, variceal hemorrhage, and/or encephalopathy].
5.History or presence of other concomitant liver disease.
6.History or presence of any other disease or condition known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of drugs, including bile salt metabolism in the intestine (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease).
7.Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
8.Cancers except for in situ carcinoma, or cancers treated at least 5 years prior to Screening with no evidence of recurrence.
9.Recent medical history, or current status that suggests that the subject may be unable to complete the study.
10.Any female who is pregnant or lactating or who is planning to become pregnant during the study period.
11.Known history of alcohol or substance abuse.
12.Administration of bile acid or lipid binding resins within 28 days prior to screening and throughout the trial.
13.Receipt of investigational drug, biologic, or medical device within 28 days prior to Screening, or 5 half-lives of the study agent, whichever is longer.
14.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 upon Investigator judgment.
15.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.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy endpoint will be the mean change in serum bile acid levels from Week 18 to Week 22 for those who responded to LUM001 treatment, which is defined as subjects who had a >50% reduction in serum bile acid levels from baseline to Week 18. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Serum bile acid levels are measured at baseline, 12, 18, 22 and 48 weeks |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary efficacy endpoints include mean change from Week 18 to Week 22 in liver enzymes (ALP, ALT, and bilirubin (total and direct)) and pruritus as measured by ItchRO (Observer ItchRO/patient ItchRO). Secondary efficacy endpoints also include mean change from baseline to Week 18 in serum bile acid level, liver enzymes (ALP, ALT, and bilirubin (total and direct)) and pruritus as measured by ItchRO (Observer ItchRO/Patient ItchRO) |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
These are measured throughout the trial by means of the subject eDiary and clinician scales and questionnaires. |
