Linerixibat Long-term Safety, and Tolerability Study

Phase 3

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Cholestasis
• Interventions: Drug: Linerixibat

• Registration Number: NCT04167358
• Lead Sponsor: GlaxoSmithKline

Brief Summary

This is an open-label, non-comparator, global, multi-center, long-term safety study for evaluating safety and tolerability of linerixibat in participants with cholestatic pruritus in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) who participated in a prior clinical trial with linerixibat (BAT117123 \[NCT01899703\], 201000 GLIMMER \[NCT02966834\] (group 1) or 212620 GLISTEN \[NCT00210418\]) (group 2). All participants will receive open-label linerixibat for the duration of the study. The study duration is expected to last until the study's end or until linerixibat can be lawfully made available to participants. However, the total duration of study participation will vary by participant depending upon the time of entry relative to study end in their respective country.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Participants receiving linerixibat	Linerixibat	Participants who previously participated in the Phase 2 studies (BAT117213 and 201000 GLIMMER \[Group 1\]) and Phase 3 study (212620 GLISTEN \[Group 2\]), will receive linerixibat.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of participants with non-serious adverse events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs)	Up to 66 months	AEs and SAEs will be collected.
Number of participants with Severe AEs	Up to 66 months	AEs and SAEs will be collected.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in self-rated health by EQ VAS scores over time (Group 1 only)	Baseline and up to 65 months	The EQ-5D-3L is a standardized instrument developed by the EuroQol Group as a measure of health-related quality of life that can be used in a wide range of health conditions and treatments. The EQ-5D consists of a descriptive system and the EQ VAS. The EQ VAS records self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale where the endpoints are labelled 'Best imaginable health state' and 'Worst imaginable health state'.
Change in domain scores of the PBC-40 over time	Baseline and up to 65 months	The PBC-40 is a participant-derived, disease specific health-related quality of life (QoL) measure with data to support its validity in PBC. The PBC-40 measure is comprised of 40 questions, each scored on a scale of 1 to 5 (where 1 = least impact, 5 = greatest impact) grouped into six domains (symptoms, itch, fatigue, cognition, social, and emotional).
Change in health-related quality of life (QoL) by the Euro Quality-5 dimension-3 level (EQ-5D-3L) scores over time (Group 1 only)	Baseline and up to 65 months	The EQ-5D-3L is a standardized instrument developed by the EuroQol Group as a measure of health-related quality of life that can be used in a wide range of health conditions and treatments. The EQ-5D consists of a descriptive system and the EQ Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: 1=no problems, 2=some problems, and 3=extreme problems.
Change in the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) scores over time	Baseline and up to 65 months	The BDI-II is a 21-item questionnaire used to assess the intensity of depression in clinical and normal participants. Each item is scored from 0 (Normal) to 3 (Severe). The total score on the BDI-II ranges from 0-63, with higher scores reflecting higher levels of depression.
Change from Baseline in Monthly Fatigue Score (MFS)(Group 2 only)	Baseline and up to Week 52 of continuous treatment	The MFS will be assessed using an NRS, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no fatigue and 10 the worst possible fatigue. This will be assessed at Week 52 of continuous treatment.
Number of participants with clinically significant changes in hematology, biochemistry (including lipid and liver parameters), and coagulation parameters	Baseline and up to 65 months	Blood samples will be collected for the analysis of hematology, biochemistry (including lipid and liver parameters) and coagulation parameters.
Percentage of responders at Week 24 and Week 52 of continuous treatment (Group 2 only)	Week 24 and Week 52 of continuous treatment	Monthly Itch Score (MIS) will be assessed using an numerical rating scale (NRS), ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no itching and 10 the worst imaginable itching. Response thresholds of greater than or equal to (\>=) 2, \>=3, and \>=4-point reduction in MIS will be assessed.
Change from Baseline Monthly Sleep Score (MSS) (Group 2 only)	Baseline and up to Week 52 of continuous treatment	The MSS will be assessed using an NRS, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no sleep interference and 10 is complete sleep interference. This will be assessed at Week 52 of continuous treatment.
Percentage of participants with maintenance of efficacy at Week 52 of continuous treatment in those that were responders at Week 24 of continuous treatment (Group 2 only)	Week 52 of continuous treatment	The MIS will be assessed using an NRS, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no itching and 10 the worst imaginable itching. Maintenance of efficacy occurs when a participant is a responder (\>=2, \>=3, and \>=4-point reduction in MIS) at Week 24 of continuous treatment and is also a responder at Week 52 of continuous treatment.
