A Study of TAK-625 for the Treatment of Alagille Syndrome (ALGS)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The main aim of the study is to check if TAK-625 improves symptoms of Alagille Syndrome (ALGS), side effect from the study treatment or TAK-625, and how much TAK-625 stays in their blood over time. This will help the study sponsor (Takeda) to work out the best dose to give people in the future.
The participants will be treated with TAK-625 for up to the end of study (about 34 months).
Participants will visit their study clinic 9 times from the start of study. After 9 times visits, participants will visit their study clinic every 12 weeks up to the end of study.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change of Fasting Serum Bile Acid (sBA) Levels from Week 18 to Week 22 [From Week 18 to Week 22]
Change of fasting sBA levels from Week 18 to Week 22 will be reported.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change of Fasting sBA Levels from Baseline to Week 18 [From baseline to Week 18]
Change of fasting sBA levels from baseline to Week 18 will be reported.
- Change of Weekly Average Severity of Pruritus Measured by ItchRO (Obs) from baseline to Week 18 [From baseline to Week 18]
Change of weekly average severity of pruritus measured by ItchRO (Obs) from baseline to Week 18 will be reported. Pruritus will be assessed using the Itch caregiver/patient reported outcome (Patient Reported Outcome; PRO) measure (ItchRO) twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening). Caregivers will rate the severity of pruritus using 5 choices (0=None observed or reported, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe, 4=Very severe) to describe their pruritus condition. Weekly average severity is a score calculated from the sum of all daily scores, based on daily maximum of morning and evening severity scores, divided by the number of weeks the ItchRO was completed.
