简要总结

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the prevalence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) in a population of pediatric and adult participants with Alagille Syndrome (ALGS) post liver transplant. During the study, participants will:

  • Consume a high fat diet
  • Keep a diary of their abdominal signs and symptoms, and stool frequency and consistency
  • Collect stool for laboratory testing

入选标准

  • Male and female participants ages 7-50 years inclusive.
  • Confirmed diagnosis of ALGS
  • Status post OLT due to ALGS complications.
  • Participants currently managed with pancreatic enzyme products (PEPs) are allowed pending discontinuation of PEPs for 5 days prior to beginning the 72-hour stool collections. Participants must discontinue PEPs for the entire study period until completion.
  • Agree to adhere to a high fat diet at least 2 days prior to and during the 72-hour stool collections and monitor dietary consumption through the use of a diet diary.
  • Have a consistent caregiver for the duration of the study if applicable for enrollment of a child.
  • Capable of giving written informed consent and assent (if age appropriate).

排除标准

  • Surgical disruption of the enterohepatic circulation (e.g., biliary diversion).
  • Subjects with alternative etiologies of EPI (e.g., chronic panreatitis, pancreatic resection).
  • Diets high in medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil.
  • Use of bile acids, bile acid uptake inhibitors, lipid-binding resins, synthetic fat substitutes (e.g. Olestra), and diaper rash ointments (note that H2 antagonists and proton pump inhibitors [PPIs] are permitted if on a stable and consistent regimen throughout the duration of the study).
  • History or presence of other concomitant liver diseases such as liver transplant rejection with cholestasis, hepatitis B or C virus infection, HIV, primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), alcoholic liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD)/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or significant chronic allograft rejection.
  • Currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Cancers except for in situ carcinoma or cancers treated at least 5 years prior to screening with no evidence of recurrence.
  • Participation in a clinical trial and received an investigational product within the last 30 days.
  • Use of anti-diarrheal, anti-spasmodic, and/or cathartic laxatives. Change in osmotic laxatives within the past 3 months.

Experimental

干预措施: Fecal Fat (Diagnostic Test)

结局指标

主要结局

Dietary fat absorption

时间窗: At the completion of the 72-hour stool collection period

Dietary fat absorption is measured by calculating the percent of fat absorption (0-100%). Higher percentage of fat absorption indicates good fat absorption.

Improvement in dietary fat absorption

时间窗: End of the 4 week treatment period

Improvement in dietary fat absorption is measured by calculating the percent of fat absorption (0-100%). Higher percentage of fat absorption indicates improvement.
