Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Average Difference Between Morning and Non-Morning Log White Blood Cell (WBC) Cystine Values
While taking Cystagon® (Months 1, 2, 3): within 15 minutes pre-morning (AM) and pre-non AM dose. During 3 months of RP103 (Months 5, 6, 7): 30 minutes post-AM and post-evening (PM) dose.

The primary analysis of WBC cystine was performed using the natural log transformed WBC cystine level; the log transformation is a normalizing transformation. For each participant, the difference between the morning and corresponding non-morning log WBC cystine value (non-morning minus morning) at each monthly visit during the Cystagon® phase (Months 1, 2, and 3) was computed and these differences were averaged. The average difference between morning and non-morning log WBC cystine value was similarly computed for each participant during the RP103 phase (Months 5, 6, and 7). The primary analysis compared within-subject pairs (Cystagon® phase paired with RP103 phase) of non-morning minus morning average differences of log WBC cystine level.

Mean White Blood Cell (WBC) Cystine Concentration at Each Visit
Day 1, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8, Week 10, Week 12, Month 6, Month 9, Month 12, Month 15, Month 18, Study Exit

Blood samples were taken 30 minutes after the morning RP103 dose at each study visit to determine White Blood Cell (WBC) cystine concentration. WBC cystine concentrations were determined using liquid chromatography.

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events
From first dose of study drug to 7 days after the last dose; median duration of treatment was 1461 days.

Drug-related adverse events (AEs) are AEs the investigator assessed as having relation to drug of 'possibly', 'probably' or 'definitely'. The severity of AEs was categorized according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 3.0 as follows: * Mild (Grade 1): experience is minor and does not cause significant discomfort to subject or change in activities of daily living (ADL); subject is aware of symptoms but symptoms are easily tolerated; * Moderate (Grade 2): experience is an inconvenience or concern to the subject and causes interference with ADL, but the subject is able to continue with ADL. * Severe (Grade 3): experience significantly interferes with ADL and the subject is incapacitated and/or unable to continue with ADL * Life-threatening (Grade 4): experience that, in the view of the Investigator, places the subject at immediate risk of death from the event as it occurred.

Change From Baseline in Newcastle Paediatric Mitochondrial Disease Scale (NPMDS) Sections I-IV
Baseline through Week 24

The NPMDS evaluates the progression of mitochondrial disease in pediatric patients in 4 domains: I - Current Function (vision, hearing, communication, feeding, and mobility) with scores ranging from 0 to 21; II -System Specific Involvement (seizures, encephalopathy, bleeding diathesis or coagulation defects, gastrointestinal, endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, liver, and blood) with scores ranging from 0 to 30. III - Current Clinical Assessment (growth and development over past 6 months, vision, strabismus and eye movement, myopathy, ataxia, pyramidal, extrapyramidal, and neuropathy) with scores ranging from 0 to 28; and IV - Quality of Life with scores ranging from 0 to 25. For sections I-III, higher scores reflect more severe disease. For Section IV, a higher score reflects a lower quality of life.

Secondary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Discontinuations Due to AEs
From first dose of study drug to 7 days after last dose. Median duration of exposure was 91 days (range 82-108) for Cystagon® phase, 119 days (range 98-137) for the RP103 phase, and 861 days (range 30 - 1350) during the long-term RP-103 phase.
Halitosis Substudy: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Plasma Cysteamine
While taking Cystagon® (Month 1, 2 or 3): Within 15 minutes prior to morning dose, 30 minutes post-dose, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours post-dose. While taking RP103 (Month 5, 6, or 7): 30 minutes after morning dose and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 hours post-dose
Halitosis Substudy: Time to Cmax (Tmax) for Plasma Cysteamine
While taking Cystagon® (Month 1, 2 or 3): Within 15 minutes prior to morning dose, 30 minutes post-dose, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours post-dose. While taking RP103 (Month 5, 6, or 7): 30 minutes after morning dose and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 hours post-dose

All ParticipantsEXPERIMENTALCystagon® Phase: From Screening and during Months 1, 2, 3 participants receive their usual dose of Cystagon® every 6 hours (Q6H). RP103 Phase: During Months 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7 participants receive RP103 every 12 hours (Q12H). Long Term Phase: On or after Month 7, for the remainder of study participants receive RP103 Q12H.
RP103EXPERIMENTALFrom Day 1 and throughout the duration of participation, RP103 (Cysteamine Bitartrate Delayed-release Capsules) was administered every 12 hours (Q12H), supplied as 75 mg and 25 mg capsules.
Cysteamine BitartrateEXPERIMENTALCysteamine bitartrate delayed-release capsules were administered twice daily for up to 96 months.
Cysteamine Bitartrate Delayed-releaseEXPERIMENTALCysteamine bitartrate delayed-release capsules were administered twice daily following a dose-escalation design with a progressive weekly dose increase over the first 6 weeks. The starting dose was 0.2 g/m²/day, up to a maximum dose of 1.3 g/m²/day. Participants remained on their highest tolerated dose until Week 24.

Frequently asked questions about RP103

What is RP103 used for in cystinosis?

RP103 is an investigational small molecule being developed for cystinosis, a rare disease. It is formulated as cysteamine bitartrate delayed-release capsules and is intended to treat the condition. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development, though it is not yet approved.

What does RP103 target?

RP103 is a cysteamine bitartrate formulation. Cysteamine works by depleting cystine within cells, which is the underlying metabolic defect in cystinosis. This mechanism addresses the accumulation of cystine crystals that cause tissue damage in patients with the disease.

Who makes RP103?

RP103 is being developed by Amgen Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol AMGN. Amgen is conducting the clinical development program for this cysteamine bitartrate delayed-release capsule.

What phase is RP103 in?

RP103 is in Phase 3 clinical development. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed, with a total of 58 patients enrolled. The drug is still investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is RP103 in?

RP103 has been studied in two completed Phase 3 trials. NCT01733316 evaluated safety and effectiveness in 41 patients with cystinosis across the US, Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, and UK. NCT01744782 studied 17 cysteamine treatment-naive patients in the US and Brazil.

Is RP103 the same as cysteamine bitartrate?

RP103 is a specific delayed-release capsule formulation of cysteamine bitartrate. The drug name RP103 refers to this particular product being developed by Amgen. Cysteamine bitartrate is the active pharmaceutical ingredient, and RP103 is the branded investigational formulation.
