Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Genetically confirmed diagnosis of Alagille syndrome * History of significant pruritus as measured by the Albireo Observer or Patient Reported Outcome instrument * Elevated serum bile acid level Key

Exclusion criteria

* History or ongoing presence of other types of liver disease (eg. biliary atresia, progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, hepatocellular carcinoma) * History of liver transplant, or a liver transplant is planned within 6 months of randomization * ALT \>10× upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening * Total bilirubin \>15 × ULN at screening * Patient suffers from uncontrolled, recalcitrant pruritic condition other than Alagille syndrome

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Scratching ScoreChange from baseline for each four-week average pruritis score to Month 6 (Weeks 21 to 24), in which baseline was calculated based on the 14 days before the start of treatment.Change from baseline in average AM (measured after waking up) and PM (measured before bedtime) scratching score to Month 6 as measured by the Albireo Observer-Reported Outcome (ObsRO) Instrument. The ObsRO instrument was used to assess severity of observed scratching twice a day (AM and PM) with scores from 0 to 4 where 0 is no scratching and 4 is worst possible scratching.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Serum Bile Acid LevelsChange from baseline to average of week 20 and 24, where baseline was calculated by averaging the last two values preceding start of treatment, and average of Week 20 and Week 24 was defined as the average of Week 20 and Week 24 values.Change in serum bile acid levels (μmol/L) from baseline to average of week 20 and 24

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in Scratching Score

Change from baseline in average AM (measured after waking up) and PM (measured before bedtime) scratching score to Month 6 as measured by the Albireo Observer-Reported Outcome (ObsRO) Instrument. The ObsRO instrument was used to assess severity of observed scratching twice a day (AM and PM) with scores from 0 to 4 where 0 is no scratching and 4 is worst possible scratching.

Time frame: Change from baseline for each four-week average pruritis score to Month 6 (Weeks 21 to 24), in which baseline was calculated based on the 14 days before the start of treatment.

Comparison: The analysis is based on a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) using a restricted maximum likelihood (REML) with baseline score as a covariate, and baseline age stratification, baseline direct bilirubin, treatment group, time (in months), and treatment-by-time interaction as fixed effects. One-sided p-value was reported.p-value: 0.001295% CI: [-1.44, -0.33]Mixed Models Analysis

Serum Bile Acid Levels

Change in serum bile acid levels (μmol/L) from baseline to average of week 20 and 24

Time frame: Change from baseline to average of week 20 and 24, where baseline was calculated by averaging the last two values preceding start of treatment, and average of Week 20 and Week 24 was defined as the average of Week 20 and Week 24 values.

Comparison: The analysis is based on a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) using a restricted maximum likelihood (REML) with baseline serum bile acid (sBA) concentration data as a covariate, and baseline age stratification, treatment group, visits (Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24), and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects. The comparison of treatment difference in change from baseline to the average of Week 20 and Week 24 is estimated and tested using contrast.
