Brief summary
Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of stiripentol in patients 6 years and older with primary hyperoxaluria type 1, 2 or 3.
Detailed description
A multicenter randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study The study is designed to compare the efficacy of stiripentol to a placebo in patients 6 years and older with primary hyperoxaluria type 1, 2 or 3. The study will be conducted in 2 periods: a 6-month, placebo-controlled, double-blind treatment period (period 1) followed by a 6-month open-label treatment period with blind maintained on results (period 2). Patients who benefit from the treatment after the first 12 months of study treatment will be proposed to enter the open-label extension (OLE) part of the study to continue to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of stiripentol.
Interventions
The target dose of stiripentol will be 50 mg/kg/day with a maximum dose of 3,000 mg/day. Patients allocated to the Stiripentol group will receive this treatment during the first 6 months, and in continuation up to 12 months.
Placebo capsules will be administered for the first 6 months. Then patients will switch to stiripentol over the 6- to 12-month period.
Collections of urine over 24 hours and the first urine in the morning (spot urines) will be carried out. Urine collections will be performed either during hospitalizations, or at home if appropriate conditions are met.
Series of blood samples will be taken (serum pregnancy test, Primary Hyperoxaluria genetic characterization, clinical laboratory assessments, vitamin B6 dosage, plasma oxalate dosage, stiripentol pharmacokinetics)
Kidney imaging will be obtained. Renal ultrasounds will be compulsory for all patients.
Kidney Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire : KDQOL-36 for patients ≥18 years of age at screening, and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) including the generic and KF modules (parent and/or self-report versions) for patients \<18 years of age at screening. EQ-5D: a standardized instrument consisting of a questionnaire and a visual analog scale pertaining to 5 dimensions. Scoring of the questionnaire is based on degrees of disability. Scoring of the visual analog scale is based on a visual scale ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). Higher scores indicate better health status. The EQ-5D-5L questionnaire (will be utilized in patients ≥18 years of age at screening, and the EQ-5D-Y questionnaire will be utilized in patients \<18 years of age at screening, where available.

Masking description
All Sponsor personnel will be blinded to study drug treatment until the 6-month treatment period data is unblinded for the primary analysis. To ensure that blinding will be maintained along the study, the following measures are implemented: * the capsules are identical for both products * all packaging items, bottles (primary packagings) and boxes (secondary, tertiary and quaternary packagings) are identical bearing similar study specific labels. At the start of the open-label Period 2), in order to maintain the blind to treatment assignment, gradual initiation of treatment will be done in all patients over the first three days as follows: 30 mg/kg/day at Day1, 40 mg/kg/day at Day 2 and 50 mg/kg/day from Day 3 (with a maximum dose of 3,000 mg/day).
Intervention model description
The study will be conducted in 2 periods: a 6-month, placebo-controlled, double-blind treatment period on which the primary endpoint will be evaluated (period 1) followed by a 6-month open-label treatment period with blind maintained on results (period 2). Patients who benefit from the treatment after the first 12 months of study treatment will be proposed to enter the 4 years open-label extension (OLE) part of the study to continue to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of stiripentol.
