Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Does paracetamol reduce the amount urinary cystine excreted in patients with cystinuria?;Secondary Objective: 1.Do different doses of paracetamol affect the amount of urinary cystine excreted in patients with cystinuria differently? 2.To observe any serious adverse events related to paracetamol during the study;Primary end point(s): The mean amount of 24-hour urinary cystine excretion.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24-hour urinary samples taken during the week (two samples taken anythime between Day 3 to Day 7) when the patient is in either Paracetamol 2g/day, Paracetamol 4g/day or Control groups.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The mean amount of 24-hour urinary paracetamol metabolite excretion (paracetamol-cysteine, paracetamol mercapturate, paracetamol-sulphate and paracetamol-gluconate conjugates);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24-hour urinary samples taken during the week (two samples taken anythime between Day 3 to Day 7) when the patient is in either Paracetamol 2g/day, Paracetamol 4g/day or Control groups.
