Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 12 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Crossover Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Two-cohort study. One cohort is for adult patients with a double-blind placebo withdrawal (with CDCA rescue) crossover. Second cohort will dose titrate pediatric patients into a stable, open-label treatment. |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Adult Cohort
Patients in the adult cohort will participate in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2 period × 2-treatment crossover study with rescue medication and open-label run-in to assess the efficacy and safety of CDCA.
|
Drug: Blinded CDCA 250 mg TID
Adult cohort patients will receive blinded 250 mg CDCA TID or placebo during the double-blind periods based upon their treatment assignment. Drug: Placebo Adult cohort patients will receive blinded 250 mg CDCA TID or placebo during the double-blind periods based upon their treatment assignment. Drug: Open-Label CDCA 250 mg TID Adult cohort patients will receive open-label 250 mg CDCA TID during the run-in and washout periods of the study or as rescue medication during the double-blind periods, if needed, based on clinical symptoms. Drug: Rescue Medication CDCA 250 mg TID CDCA 250 mg TID will be provided as rescue medication during the double-blind periods, if needed, based on laboratory results. |
Experimental: Pediatric Cohort
Pediatric cohort patients (≥1 month and <16 years) will participate in a 24-week, open-label cohort with an 8-week titration period and a 16-week treatment period at the tolerated dose.
|
Drug: CDCA Weight-Based Dose TID
Patients in the pediatric cohort will complete a weight-based dose titration to a tolerated dose and will maintain that tolerated dose for the remainder of the study. Pediatric cohort dosing of CDCA will not exceed an equivalent dose of 750 mg/day. |
