E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Is at high risk for metabolic decompensation, as indicated by: - More than 4 hospitalizations within 1 year before the Screening Visit for management of acute metabolic decompensation due to UCD, OR - An ammonia concentration of ≥ 100 μmol/L with clinical signs or symptoms during Screening (if a subject meets all other study requirements, at the PI’s discretion the subject may be re-screened 1 time after their ammonia is controlled and clinical symptoms have resolved), OR - Other evidence of metabolic instability as judged by the PI. 2. Has had a substantive change (as judged by the PI) in diet or any other aspect of UCD management within 4 weeks before the Screening Visit 3. Has used a systemic anti-infective (for example, an antibiotic, antifungal, or antiviral product) within 4 weeks before the Screening Visit, or use is anticipated during the study (if a subject fails this criterion and meets all other study requirements, at the PI’s discretion and after consultation with the Sponsor, the subject may be re-screened 1 time) 4. Has been diagnosed with Citrullinemia Type II 5. Is receiving any systemically administered immunosuppressant medication on a chronic basis at a dose > 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent 6. Has changed the use or dose of any drug or other compound to modulate GI motility (including stool softeners, laxatives, bismuth, or fiber supplements), within 4 weeks before the Screening Visit, or the use or dose is expected change during the course of the study. Note that proton pump inhibitors and antacids are permitted, provided they are taken at baseline and continued throughout the study. (If a subject fails this criterion and meets all other study requirements, at the PI’s discretion the subject may be re-screened 1 time) 7. Has a history of or active GI or liver disease that may affect assessment of the efficacy, safety, or tolerability of KB195, including but not limited to the following: chronic diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, liver cirrhosis or failure, autoimmune disease, or GI malignancy 8. Has a clinically significant or uncontrolled concomitant illness that would put the subject at risk or jeopardize the objectives of the study 9. Has a prior solid organ transplantation including liver transplantation, or is anticipated to receive a liver transplant during study participation 10. Has used an investigational drug, product, or device within 30 days before the Screening Visit; or is enrolled in another investigational drug, product, or device study within 30 days before the Screening Visit 11. Has a contraindication, sensitivity, or known allergy to any ingredient of the study drug 12. Is considered, in the opinion of the PI, to likely be a poor attendee or unlikely for any reason to be able to comply with the study procedures (for example, planned procedures or traveling that would occur during the duration of the study) |
