Terms in these criteria, in plain language(12)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

A Z-score was not calculated for participants whose accurate age was not available. Baseline was the last available assessment prior to first dose of study treatment in the A4250-008 study. A Z-score indicates how many standard deviation's (SD) a participant's height measurement, was from the average for their age and sex. A Z-score of 0 represents the median or 50th percentile, while positive or negative values show how far above or below average a measurement was.

    Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 70, 72, 88, 104, 120, 136, 152, 168, 184, 200, 216, 232, 248, 264, 280, 296, 312, and 328

  14. Change From Baseline in Weight Z-Scores During Treatment Period and the Optional Extension Period

Change in growth parameters was assessed using linear growth (weight) compared to standard growth curve (Z-score), calculated by using the software or methods from the CDC website for participants with age \>=2 years old and from the WHO website for participants with age \<2 years old. A Z-score was not calculated for participants whose accurate age was not available. Baseline was the last available assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment in the A4250-008 study. The Z-score indicates how many SDs a participant's weight measurement, was from the average for their age and sex. A Z-score of 0 represents the median or 50th percentile, while positive or negative values show how far above or below the average a measurement was.

    Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 70, 72, 88, 104, 120, 136, 152, 168, 184, 200, 216, 232, 248, 264, 280, 296, 312, and 328

  15. Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) Z-Scores During Treatment Period and the Optional Extension Period

    BMI was calculated by weight (kg) / height (m)\^2 which were measured by the standardized assessments. Change in growth parameters was assessed using linear growth (BMI) compared to standard growth curve (Z-score), calculated by using the software or methods from the CDC website for participants with age \>=2 years old and from the WHO website for participants with age \<2 years old. A Z-score was not calculated for participants whose accurate age was not available. Baseline was the last available assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment in the A4250-008 study. The Z-score indicates how many SDs a participant's BMI measurement, was from the average for their age and sex. A Z-score of 0 represents the median or 50th percentile, while positive or negative values show how far above or below the average a measurement was.

    Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 70, 72, 88, 104, 120, 136, 152, 168, 184, 200, 216, 232, 248, 264, 280, 296, 312, and 328

    The number of participants with use of UDCA and/or rifampicin are reported.

    Time frame: Weeks 24, 48, and 72

  17. Change From Baseline to Week 72 During Treatment Period and During the Optional Extension Period in Pediatric End-Stage Liver Disease (PELD) Score

    The PELD score was calculated for children under 12 years of age, ranged across negative to positive values. Calculation of PELD score was done by converting the laboratory parameters: total bilirubin in milligram/deciliter (mg/dL), albumin in gram (g)/dL, and creatinine in mg/dL laboratory parameters were converted to units. PELD score was calculated as 4.80\*ln (total bilirubin)+18.57\*ln \[international normalized ratio (INR)\] - 6.87\*ln (albumin) + 4.36 (if participant \<1 year: scores for participants listed for liver transplantation before the participant's first birthday continued to include the value assigned for age (\<1 year) until the participant reached the age of 24 months)+6.67 (if the participant has growth failure \[\<-2 SD\]). The laboratory values \<1.0 were set to 1.0 for the calculation of PELD score. Lower scores represent less severe hepatic disease. Baseline was the last available assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment in the A4250-008 study.

    Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 72, 88, 104, 120, 136, 152, 168, 184, 200, 216, 232, 248, 264, 280, 296, and 312

  18. Change From Baseline to Week 72 During Treatment Period and During the Optional Extension Period in Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) Score for Children 12 Years of Age or Older

    MELD score was calculated for children 12 years of age or older ranges from 6 to 40. Calculation of MELD score was done by converting the laboratory parameters in the following units: total bilirubin in mg/dL, albumin in g/dL, and creatinine in mg/dL laboratory parameters were converted to units. MELD score was calculated as 9.57\*ln (creatinine)+3.78\*ln (total bilirubin)+11.2 \*ln (INR)+6.43. Laboratory values \<1.0 were set to 1.0 and serum creatinine values \>4.0 mg/dL were set to 4.0 for calculation of the MELD score. Lower scores represent less severe hepatic disease. Baseline was the last available assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment in the A4250-008 study. All assessments after intercurrent events (premature treatment discontinuation, death, or initiation of rescue treatments such as biliary diversion surgery or liver transplantation) or follow-up assessments (\>= last dose day+15 days) were excluded from analysis.

  19. Change From Baseline to Week 72 in Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) to Platelet Ratio Index (APRI) Score

    The AST to APRI score was calculated as \[(AST in units per liter {U/L})/ (AST upper limit of normal {ULN} in U/L)\] \* 100/ (platelets in 10\^9/L). The APRI score is a way to assess fibrosis of the liver. The lower the APRI score (\< 0.5), the greater the negative predictive value and ability to rule out cirrhosis; the higher the value (\> 1.5) the greater the positive predictive value and ability to rule in cirrhosis. Lower values indicate less severe hepatic fibrosis. Baseline was the last available assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment in the A4250-008 study.

  20. Change From Baseline to Week 72 in Fibrosis-4 (Fib-4) Score

    Fib-4 score was calculated as (age \* AST in U/L)/ (platelets in 10\^9/L \*√ ( alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\] in U/L). The FIB-4 score estimates the amount of scarring in the liver. A FIB-4 score \<1.45 has a negative predictive value of 90% for advanced fibrosis (Ishak fibrosis score 4-6 which includes early bridging fibrosis to cirrhosis). In contrast, a FIB-4 score \> 3.25 would have a 97% specificity and a positive predictive value of 65% for advanced fibrosis. Lower values indicate less severe hepatic fibrosis. Baseline was the last available assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment in the A4250-008 study.

Outcome measures

PrimaryPercentage of Positive Pruritus Assessments at the Participant Level Over 72-Week Using the Albireo Observer-Reported Outcome (ObsRo) Instrument (Combined AM and PM Scores)

A positive pruritus assessment was defined as a scratching score of \<=1 or at least a 1-point drop from baseline on the Albireo ObsRO instrument. The percentage of positive pruritus assessment was calculated as the number of positive pruritus assessments divided by the total number of reported assessments recorded by each participant multiplied by 100. The data reported represent the combination of pruritus assessments from both AM and PM scores.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Serum Bile Acids at Week 72

Blood samples for analysis of fasting total serum bile acids were drawn at specified timepoints. Participants were to fast (water intake only) for at least 4 hours prior to the collection of samples for serum bile acids. Exceptions were made for infants \<12 months of age if unable to fast for the full 4 hours. Baseline for Cohort 1 placebo/odevixibat and Cohort 2 groups was defined as the average of last 2 values before the first dose of study treatment in the A4250-008 study. Baseline for Cohort 1 odevixibat/odevixibat group was defined as average of last 2 values before the first dose of study treatment in study A4250-005 (NCT03566238).

SecondaryPercentage of Responders for Pruritus Assessments Bi-Weekly (Combined AM and PM Scores)

A responder is defined as a participant who reports a decrease in pruritus score from unrounded baseline equivalent to or greater than the threshold of meaningful change of 1.0 estimated from the blinded psychometric analysis. The averaged pruritus score was used to calculate the percentage of participants achieving meaningful reduction against the threshold value of 1.0 based on bi-weekly scores. ObsRO instrument was used to assess severity of observed scratching twice a day (AM and PM) with score from 0 to 4 where 0 is no scratching and 4 is worst possible scratching. The data reported represent the combination of pruritus assessments from both AM and PM scores.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Height Z-Scores During Treatment Period and the Optional Extension Period

Height was measured using certified stadiometer. Change in growth parameters was assessed using linear growth (height) compared to standard growth curve (Z-score) calculated by using the software or methods from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website for participants with age \>=2 years old and from the World Health Organization (WHO) website for participants with age \<2 years old. A Z-score was not calculated for participants whose accurate age was not available. Baseline was the last available assessment prior to first dose of study treatment in the A4250-008 study. A Z-score indicates how many standard deviation's (SD) a participant's height measurement, was from the average for their age and sex. A Z-score of 0 represents the median or 50th percentile, while positive or negative values show how far above or below average a measurement was.

SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 72 During Treatment Period and During the Optional Extension Period in Pediatric End-Stage Liver Disease (PELD) Score

The PELD score was calculated for children under 12 years of age, ranged across negative to positive values. Calculation of PELD score was done by converting the laboratory parameters: total bilirubin in milligram/deciliter (mg/dL), albumin in gram (g)/dL, and creatinine in mg/dL laboratory parameters were converted to units. PELD score was calculated as 4.80\*ln (total bilirubin)+18.57\*ln \[international normalized ratio (INR)\] - 6.87\*ln (albumin) + 4.36 (if participant \<1 year: scores for participants listed for liver transplantation before the participant's first birthday continued to include the value assigned for age (\<1 year) until the participant reached the age of 24 months)+6.67 (if the participant has growth failure \[\<-2 SD\]). The laboratory values \<1.0 were set to 1.0 for the calculation of PELD score. Lower scores represent less severe hepatic disease. Baseline was the last available assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment in the A4250-008 study.

SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 72 During Treatment Period and During the Optional Extension Period in Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) Score for Children 12 Years of Age or Older

MELD score was calculated for children 12 years of age or older ranges from 6 to 40. Calculation of MELD score was done by converting the laboratory parameters in the following units: total bilirubin in mg/dL, albumin in g/dL, and creatinine in mg/dL laboratory parameters were converted to units. MELD score was calculated as 9.57\*ln (creatinine)+3.78\*ln (total bilirubin)+11.2 \*ln (INR)+6.43. Laboratory values \<1.0 were set to 1.0 and serum creatinine values \>4.0 mg/dL were set to 4.0 for calculation of the MELD score. Lower scores represent less severe hepatic disease. Baseline was the last available assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment in the A4250-008 study. All assessments after intercurrent events (premature treatment discontinuation, death, or initiation of rescue treatments such as biliary diversion surgery or liver transplantation) or follow-up assessments (\>= last dose day+15 days) were excluded from analysis.

SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 72 in Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) to Platelet Ratio Index (APRI) Score

The AST to APRI score was calculated as \[(AST in units per liter {U/L})/ (AST upper limit of normal {ULN} in U/L)\] \* 100/ (platelets in 10\^9/L). The APRI score is a way to assess fibrosis of the liver. The lower the APRI score (\< 0.5), the greater the negative predictive value and ability to rule out cirrhosis; the higher the value (\> 1.5) the greater the positive predictive value and ability to rule in cirrhosis. Lower values indicate less severe hepatic fibrosis. Baseline was the last available assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment in the A4250-008 study.

SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 72 in Fibrosis-4 (Fib-4) Score

Fib-4 score was calculated as (age \* AST in U/L)/ (platelets in 10\^9/L \*√ ( alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\] in U/L). The FIB-4 score estimates the amount of scarring in the liver. A FIB-4 score \<1.45 has a negative predictive value of 90% for advanced fibrosis (Ishak fibrosis score 4-6 which includes early bridging fibrosis to cirrhosis). In contrast, a FIB-4 score \> 3.25 would have a 97% specificity and a positive predictive value of 65% for advanced fibrosis. Lower values indicate less severe hepatic fibrosis. Baseline was the last available assessment prior to the first dose of study treatment in the A4250-008 study.
