Long-Term Safety Follow-up Study of Cysteamine Bitartrate Delayed-release Capsules (RP103)

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2017-06-26
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Cystinosis is an inherited disease that if untreated, results in kidney failure as early as the first decade of life. The current marketed therapy is Cystagon® (cysteamine bitartrate immediate release) which must be taken every six hours for the rest of the patient's life to prevent complications of cystinosis. Cysteamine bitartrate delayed-release capsules (RP103) is a formulation of cysteamine bitartrate that is being studied to see if it can be given less frequently, once every 12 hours, and have similar results to four times a day Cystagon®.
