Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Concentrations (Units per liter) of Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) or gamma-glutamyltransferase (γGT)
from baseline up to the end of treatment visit (56-60 days)

Improvement of ALP or γGT after 8 weeks of treatment with ademetionine compared to baseline

Secondary Endpoints

Concentrations of ALP, γGT, Alanine Transaminase (ALT) and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (Units per liter) and of serum total and conjugated bilirubin (µmol per liter)
At baseline and after 2 weeks intravenously (IV) treatment or after 4 weeks oral treatment and after 2 months treatment
The intensity of clinical symptoms (jaundice, pruritus, fatigue and depressed mood) will be recorded for each symptom separately using six categories: No symptoms (0), minimum (1) to maximum (5).
At baseline and after 2 weeks IV treatment or after 4 weeks oral treatment and after 2 months treatment
Evaluation of the responder rate by comparing concentrations at certain time points (units per liter) to baseline concentrations

The study was conducted in Russia and involved adult patients with intrahepatic cholestasis associated with alcoholic liver disease.

What clinical trials is Ademetionine in?

Ademetionine has one completed Phase 3 clinical trial registered under NCT02200029, titled 'Study With Heptral in Subjects With Liver Disease Due to Alcohol Consumption.' This trial enrolled 75 participants with intrahepatic cholestasis associated with alcoholic liver disease. The study was conducted in Russia, included adults aged 18 years and older, and was a controlled trial without randomization or blinding.

Is Ademetionine the same as Heptral?

Ademetionine is associated with the brand name Heptral, as indicated by the clinical trial title 'Study With Heptral in Subjects With Liver Disease Due to Alcohol Consumption.'
