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.
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.
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.
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.

| All Participants | EXPERIMENTAL | Cystagon® 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. |
| RP103 | EXPERIMENTAL | From 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 Bitartrate | EXPERIMENTAL | Cysteamine bitartrate delayed-release capsules were administered twice daily for up to 96 months. |
| Cysteamine Bitartrate Delayed-release | EXPERIMENTAL | Cysteamine 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. |

| Cysteamine Bitartrate Delayed-release Capsules | DRUG | Participants who entered the trial from the RP103-03 study continued treatment with cysteamine bitartrate every 12 hours at the last dose level prescribed during their participation in that study. Participants not entering the trial from Study RP103-03 were started on twice a day administration of cysteamine bitartrate at a total daily RP103 dose of 70% of their pre-study total daily stable Cystagon® dose. |

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
