- NCT02246218
- Lead Sponsor
- Amgen
- Brief Summary
This is an open-label study consisting of a transition period to RAVICTI, followed by a safety extension period for at least 6 months and up to 24 months of treatment with RAVICTI, depending on age at enrollment. It is designed to capture information important for evaluating safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy in young children.
Subjects who are followed by or referred to the Investigator for management of their UCD. Subjects eligible for this study will include patients ranging from newborn to \< 2 years of age with either a diagnosed or clinically suspected UCD.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants With Successful Transition to RAVICTI With Controlled Ammonia (i.e. No Clinical Symptoms and Ammonia < 100 μmol/L): Cohort of 0 Months to <2 Months Participants Up to Day 4 The percentage of participants with successful transition is based on Investigator response to the question, "Has transition to 100% RAVICTI been successful with controlled ammonia?" For participants \< 2 months of age, after a minimum of 24 hours of ammonia monitoring following the first full dose of RAVICTI alone, the participant was effectively transitioned when following conditions were met: no signs and symptoms of hyperammonemia; ammonia level less than 100 μmol/L (without normalization of ammonia, ie, without conversion of values from local laboratories with varying normal ranges to standardized values); and eligible for discharge per Investigator judgment.

Rate of HACs per 6 months during the safety extension is calculated as sum of (number of HAC) / sum of (days during first 6 months starting on Day 8 or number days on RAVICTI, whichever is less) across all participants in the corresponding group.
Amino Acid Assessment: Baseline and Change From Baseline in Sum of Glutamine and Glutamate Up to Month 24: Cohort of 2 Months to <2 Years Participants Baseline, Day 7, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5, Month 6, Month 9, Month 12, Month 15, Month 24 Assessment of Growth and Development: Baseline and Change From Baseline in Body Surface Area (BSA) Z-Score Up to Month 24: Cohort of 2 Months to <2 Years Participants Baseline, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5, Month 6, Month 9, Month 12, Month 15, Month 18, Month 24 To assess any effect of study drug treatment on growth, Z-scores were calculated to express the deviation from a reference population for BSA. The Z-scores are based on weight-for-length charts. Negative Z-scores indicate lower than typical for age and gender while positive scores indicate higher than typical for age and gender.

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence, whether or not the event is considered related to the study drug. A serious AE is any AE that: results in death; is life threatening; requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is an important medical event. TEAEs are defined as AEs with an onset date on or after the first dose of study medication until study discontinuation. The Investigator assessed the causal relationship of each TEAE to the study drug as not related, possibly related, or probably related.
