Participant Flow

In this study, participants with HA or HB due to a nonsense mutation were recruited for the study.

Participants requiring treatment with Factor 8 (FVIII)/Factor 9 (FIX) concentrate during 14-day ataluren treatment could continue ataluren treatment for at least 14 days following discontinuing FVIII concentrate treatment for hemophilia type A (HA) and for at least 18 days following discontinuing FIX concentrate treatment for hemophilia type B (HB)

Measure
5 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg Ataluren
Ataluren was provided as a vanilla-flavored powder to be mixed with water or milk. Ataluren was taken 3 times per day, with dosing based on the participant's body weight. The dose level for ataluren was 5 milligrams/kilograms (mg/kg) in the morning, 5 mg/kg at midday, and 10 mg/kg in the evening for 14 days, followed by an interval of 14 days without treatment.
10 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, and 20 mg/kg Ataluren
Ataluren was provided as a vanilla-flavored powder to be mixed with water or milk. Ataluren was taken 3 times per day, with dosing based on the participant's body weight. The dose level for ataluren was 10 mg/kg in the morning, 10 mg/kg at midday, and 20 mg/kg in the evening for 14 days, followed by an interval of 14 days without treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Day 14

Population: All enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and completed the study.

To assess the change from Baseline in plasma anti-FVIII/FIX inhibitor titers, it was determined if any potential antibodies were neutralizing using the Bethesda assay. The Bethesda assay demonstrates antibodies that are neutralizing by quantifying residual FVIII/FIX activity in normal plasma after serial dilutions with participant plasma. For this assay, the neutralizing antibody threshold value was 0.6 Bethesda units (BU).

Timeframe: Baseline up to Day 28

Population: All enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug.

The relationship of TEAEs and SAEs to the study drugs was assessed as: probable related, possible related, unlikely related, and unrelated. The severity of TEAEs were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 3.0, as: Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), Grade 4 (life-threatening), or Grade 5 (fatal). A summary of other non-serious adverse events (AEs) and all serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to Day 28

Population: All enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had evaluable clinical laboratory data.

The Investigator used his/her judgment in determining whether an abnormality was clinically significant, diagnostic evaluation was warranted, and potential interruption of ataluren was appropriate. Life-threatening (Grade 4) or severe (Grade 3) laboratory abnormalities were considered dose-limiting, although recurrent or persistent moderate (Grade 2) events were also considered dose-limiting in certain circumstances. Values considered abnormal included -Hematology: Serum total bilirubin Grade 2 (\>1.5-3.0\*upper limit of normal \[ULN\]) and Serum alanine aminotransferase, Serum aspartate aminotransferase, and Serum gamma glutamyl transferase Grade 2 (\>2.5-3.0\*ULN); -Adrenal: Plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone \>ULN (and cortisol within normal limits); and -Renal: serum creatinine Grade 1 (\>ULN-1.5\*ULN) and Serum blood urea nitrogen ≥1.5-3.0\*ULN. A summary of other non-serious AEs and all serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section.
