“A PFIC diagnosis for our children was shocking and devastating, and we quickly found out that current treatment options are inadequate,” stated Kristen and Michael Busby of New York, parents of two children with PFIC. “We applaud all research in this area, and it is great news to see a clinical trial as an option for children with PFIC.”

King’s College London and principal investigator of the study, Professor Richard Thompson, said that they  are very excited to have the first patient enrolled into the PEDFIC-1 pivotal study to determine the potential of A4250, with the goal of providing new options to patients with this debilitating disease furthermore he added “The results of the Phase 2 trial, where A4250 reduced serum bile acids and decreased pruritus in most patients, while showing a favourable overall tolerability profile, gives us optimism and confidence that A4250 could be an excellent medical treatment option.”

The Phase 3 program includes a single randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate A4250 in 60 patients, ages 6 months to 18 years, with PFIC (subtype 1 or 2), elevated serum bile acid (sBA) levels and pruritus, and an open-label extension study to assess long-term safety and durability of response. Patients in the double-blind trial will receive a 40 or 120 μg/kg oral dose of A4250 or placebo once daily for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint for the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluation will be an assessment of change in pruritus, and the primary endpoint for the European Medicines Agency (EMA) evaluation will be sBA responder rate.
