Alagille Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LUM001. Efficacy will be assessed by evaluating the effect of LUM001 versus placebo on the biochemical markers and pruritus associated with Alagille Syndrome.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change From Baseline to Week 13 (End of Treatment) in Fasting Serum Bile Acid Level | Baseline to 13 weeks or end of treatment | Participants were required to fast for at least 4 hours; only water was permitted prior to collection. A negative change from baseline indicates that the level of bile acid decreased. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change From Baseline to Week 13 (End of Treatment) in Liver Enzymes | Baseline to 13 weeks or end of treatment | Analysis of liver enzymes included alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). A negative change from baseline indicates that the level of that enzyme decreased. |
| Change From Baseline to Week 13 (End of Treatment) in Pruritus as Measured by The Patient And Observer Itch Reported Outcome (ItchRO) Average Daily Scores | Baseline to 13 weeks or end of treatment | The ItchRO was administered as a twice daily electronic diary (eDiary). Children ≥9 years of age completed the patient ItchRO; those between the ages of 5 and 8 completed the patient ItchRO with the assistance of their caregiver. There was no patient report for subjects under the age of 5. ItchRO scores range from 0 to 4, with the higher score indicating increasing itch severity. ItchRO average daily scores were calculated as the sum of daily scores (ie, the maximum of morning and evening scores) divided by the number of days. The average daily score was calculated by using the 7 days pre-treatment for baseline, and the last 7 days of treatment for Week 13. A negative change from Baseline indicates that itch severity decreased. |

Outcome results
Change From Baseline to Week 13 (End of Treatment) in Fasting Serum Bile Acid Level
Participants were required to fast for at least 4 hours; only water was permitted prior to collection. A negative change from baseline indicates that the level of bile acid decreased.
Time frame: Baseline to 13 weeks or end of treatment
Population: The modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population, defined as all participants in the Safety population who had at least 1 post-baseline efficacy assessment. The Safety population was defined as all participants who were randomly assigned to study treatment and who received any amount of study drug.

There was no patient report for subjects under the age of 5. ItchRO scores range from 0 to 4, with the higher score indicating increasing itch severity.
