Overview
Brief Summary
This Phase 2 randomized controlled trial will study the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine in qualified patients with Alport syndrome. The trial will be open-label, randomized, controlled and will enroll up to 50 patients.
Detailed Description
This Phase 2 randomized controlled trial will study the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine in qualified patients with Alport syndrome. The trial will be open-label, randomized, controlled and will enroll up to 50 patients. Patients in the Phase 2 cohort will be randomized 1:1 to either Hydroxychloroquine Cohort or Comparator Cohort. All patients in the study will follow the same visit and assessment schedule. Following randomization on Day 1, patients will be scheduled to be assessed during treatment at Weeks 4, 12, and 24. Patients will not receive study drug during a 24-week withdrawal period between Weeks 25 and 48. Patients will also be scheduled to be assessed at an in person follow up visit at Week 36, and 48.

Arms & Interventions
Hydroxychloroquine Cohort
Patients in the cohort will receive Hydroxychloroquine(HCQ) throughout the study.Patients administered HCQ by oral at a dose of 6.5mg per kilogram twice a day for 6 months. During treatment with HCQ, patients also received enalapril(5-10mg qd).
Intervention: Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate 100 milligram (mg) Tab
Hydroxychloroquine Cohort
Patients in the cohort will receive Hydroxychloroquine(HCQ) throughout the study.Patients administered HCQ by oral at a dose of 6.5mg per kilogram twice a day for 6 months. During treatment with HCQ, patients also received enalapril(5-10mg qd).
Intervention: Benazepril hydrochloride 10 milligram (mg) Tab
Comparator Cohort
During treatment with HCQ, Patients randomized to Comparator Cohort only received enalapril(5-10mg qd).
Intervention: Benazepril hydrochloride 10 milligram (mg) Tab
