Trial summary

Byler Disease is the result of a homozygous missense (G308V) mutation in the ATP8B1 gene. The disease is typically manifest in the first year of life on the basis of complications of cholestasis; common presentations include jaundice, poor growth, bleeding related to vitamin K deficiency, and/or weak bones related to… Read more about this study

About this study

Byler Disease is the result of a homozygous missense (G308V) mutation in the ATP8B1 gene. The disease is typically manifest in the first year of life on the basis of complications of cholestasis; common presentations include jaundice, poor growth, bleeding related to vitamin K deficiency, and/or weak bones related to vitamin D deficiency. Early management of Byler Disease is directed at nutritional issues which tend to be responsive to medical intervention, unlike the pruritus/scratching which remains a devastating problem. Progressive liver disease develops in Byler Disease and can lead to cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. This is an open label expanded access protocol of RAVICTI in children with Byler Disease. The primary hypothesis is that the administration of RAVICTI in these children is feasible, well tolerated and safe. It is also hypothesized that RAVICTI treatment leads to an improvement in biochemical markers of liver disease and it may ameliorates or prevents the development of scratching behavior as a manifestation of pruritus attributed to the liver disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RAVICTI in people with Byler Disease, run by Robert Squires, Jr..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Feb 2019.
