Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
The Steady-state White Blood Cell Cystine Levels of RP103 Compared to Cystagon®
4 weeks after the last subject has completed the study
Plasma Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Cmax of Cysteamine
12 hours post RP103 dosing and 7 hours post 1st Cystagon® dosing
Plasma Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Tmax of Cysteamine
12 hours post RP103 dosing and 7 hours post 1st Cystagon® dosing
Plasma Pharmacokinetic Parameter: AUC(0-t) of Cysteamine
12 hours post RP103 dosing and 6 hours post 1st Cystagon® dosing

t = 6 for Cystagon and t = 12 for RP103. Cystagon is dosed every 6 hours and there is no measurement after 6 hours and up to 12 hours.

Pharmacodynamic Parameter: Changes of White Blood Cell (WBC) Cystine Level From Baseline
up to 12 hours post Cystagon® dosing and RP103 dosing

The pharmacodynamic (PD) parameter measures the changes of WBC cystine level from the baseline. Cystine is a disulfide amino acid formed through oxidation of two molecules of cysteine; hence, cystine's concentration is commonly given in half-cystine equivalents to avoid confusion. The level of cystine in WBC/leukocytes is expressed in units of nmol half-cystine/mg protein (nmol ½ cystine/mg protein). Half-cystine is quantified by a reduction of cystine followed by an assay for cysteine, which is then normalized by the total cellular protein content within the sample using methods of such as Lowry assay, bicinchoninic acid assay, or Bradford.
