What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with worsening cholestasis

    Worsening cholestasis will be identified by measuring direct total bilirubin concentration in blood and will be defined as a 25% increase from previous measurement if the total bilirubin is \>1mg/dL.

    Time frame: 10 Years

  2. Number of participants with new-onset cholestasis

    Patients with new-onset cholestasis will be identified by detecting abnormal direct bilirubin concentration \>1mg/dL or direct bilirubin greater than 20% of the total bilirubin if total bilirubin is \>5mg/dL.

    Time frame: 10 Years

  3. Number of participants with steatorrhea leading to poor growth

    Steatorrhea leading to poor growth in children, which will be defined as a decrease in growth percentiles from the original percentile at enrollment to the registry study.

    Time frame: 10 Years

  4. Changes in serum levels of fat-soluble vitamins

    Fat-soluble vitamin (A, D, E, K) deficiencies will be identified by comparing results from serum assays (Vitamin A: Retinol, Vitamin D: 250HD2 + 250HD3, Vitamin K: Serum Vitamin K, Vitamin E: Serum Vitamin E) for each vitamin with standard ranges.

    Time frame: 10 Years

  5. Neuropathic signs or symptoms related to fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies

    Neuropathic signs or symptoms related to fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies (peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar ataxia) will be assessed by the Investigator.

    Time frame: 10 Years

  6. Number of participants with growth failure

    Growth failure that the physician judges to be attributable to malabsorption.

    Time frame: 10 Years

  7. Death

    AEs and SAEs leading to death will be recorded. The relatedness of death to Cholbam or disease progression will be recorded.

    Time frame: 10 Years

  8. Adverse effects on pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, and infant status

    Adverse effects on pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, and infant status will be recorded.

    Time frame: 10 Years

  9. All Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs)

    All other AEs and SAEs will be collected.

    Time frame: 10 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Changes in Cholbam dosing regimens and reasons for any dose modifications or treatment discontinuations

    Time frame: 10 years

  2. Changes from baseline in weight

    For patients aged 18 years of or less, these data will be converted into Z-scores based on the WHO growth standards for infants aged 0-2 years and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth standards for children 2-20 years. Growth failure will be defined as a decrease in percentiles from the original percentile at entry point into the registry study.

    Time frame: 10 years

  3. Changes from baseline in length/height

    For patients aged 18 years of or less, these data will be converted into Z-scores based on the WHO growth standards for infants aged 0-2 years and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth standards for children 2-20 years. Some patients will be adult or will have achieved final height. Growth failure will be defined as a decrease in percentiles from the original percentile at entry point into the registry study.

    Time frame: 10 years

  4. Changes from baseline in head circumference in infants

    For patients aged 18 years of or less, these data will be converted into Z-scores based on the WHO growth standards for infants aged 0-2 years and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth standards for children 2-20 years. Growth failure will be defined as a decrease in percentiles from the original percentile at entry point into the registry study.

    Time frame: 10 years

  5. Age-appropriate developmental milestones in infants

    Measured by WHO Motor Development Milestones

    Time frame: 10 years

  6. Changes in prothrombin time (PT)

    Time frame: 10 years

  7. Changes in international normalized ratio (INR)

    Time frame: 10 years

  8. Changes in albumin

    Time frame: 10 years

  9. Changes in bilirubin

    Time frame: 10 years

  10. Changes in direct bilirubin

    Time frame: 10 years

  11. Changes in alanine aminotransferase (ALT)

    Time frame: 10 years

  12. Changes in aspartate aminotransferase (AST)

    Time frame: 10 years

  13. Changes in gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT)

    Time frame: 10 years

  14. Changes in alkaline phosphatase

    Time frame: 10 years

  15. Presence or absence of urinary bile acids and levels of bile acid intermediaries and urinary bile alcohol

    Time frame: 10 years

  16. All indications for which Cholbam has been prescribed

    Description of all indications for which Cholbam has been prescribed

    Time frame: 10 years
