Trial Outcomes & Findings for Open Label, Continuation Study of Cholic Acid in Subjects With Inborn Errors of Bile Acid Synthesis (NCT NCT01438411)

NCT ID: NCT01438411

Last Updated: 2023-10-03

Results Overview

The level of atypical urinary bile acid secretion was scored using a scale of: 0, normal; 1, slight; 2, significant; or 3, marked. A Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test with modified ridit scoring was used to compare the difference between the score at baseline and the worst post-baseline score during treatment with cholic acid in this single-arm trial.

Participant Flow

This study included subjects with inborn errors of bile acid metabolism who had previously participated in studies CAC-91-10-10 or CAC-001-01 as well as newly diagnosed subjects. Data were collected from 1 Jan 2010 through study completion on 31 Jul 2016. Note that treatment with cholic acid continues throughout a subject's lifetime.

Of 53 subjects, 31 subjects rolled over from studies CAC-91-10-10 and/or CAC-001-01, while 22 patients were treatment-naive, i.e. received their first dose of cholic acid during study CAC-002-01.
