Long-Term Safety Follow-up Study of Cysteamine Bitartrate Delayed-release Capsules (RP103)
brief summary
Cystinosis is an inherited disease that if untreated, results in kidney failure as early as the first decade of life. The current marketed therapy is Cystagon® (cysteamine bitartrate immediate release) which must be taken every six hours for the rest of the patient's life to prevent complications of cystinosis. Cysteamine bitartrate delayed-release capsules (RP103) is a formulation of cysteamine bitartrate that is being studied to see if it can be given less frequently, once every 12 hours, and have similar results to four times a day Cystagon®.
detailed description
This is a long-term, open-label, study to determine the safety and tolerability of twice a day treatment with cysteamine bitartrate delayed-release capsules (RP103). It will involve 6-9 monthly clinic visits followed by quarterly clinic visits for the duration of the study and home use of cysteamine bitartrate delayed-release capsules.
Initially, enrollment was open to those patients who had completed the previous Phase 3 Study (RP103-03, NCT01000961). Subsequently enrollment in Study RP103-04 was opened to additional participants, including children aged 1 to 6 years and renal transplant recipients, who had previously been on a stable dose of Cystagon® for at least 21 days.
Study with completed results acquired from Horizon in 2024.
