This is an interventional treatment trial for Cystinuria Read More

Inclusion Criteria:

• 1. Patient who has a diagnosis of cystinuria based on medical diagnosis (at least one previous orcurrent episode of calculus of cystine, and/or one previous or current episode of cystine crystalluria) or on genetic diagnosis (only for patients enrolled in B13CS study).

  3. Patient who, when treated with a second line therapy (chelator agent), presents a disease status enabling interruption of the chelator agent during the course of the B12CS-B13CS research.

  4. Patient male or female, including child aged between 6 months and 17 years old and adult aged ≥ 18 years old up to 70 years old.

  5. For female patient of childbearing potential (defined by CTFG as fertile, following menarche until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile*) a highly effective birth control method should be used until the end of study plus 36 hours after the last dose of IMP.

  6. Patient and/or parents or legal representative(s) who is(are) willing and able to participate in the study, to understand and to comply with study procedures for the entire length of the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• 1. Patient treated with the second line therapy and who cannot stop cystine chelating agents (sulfhydryl compounds) during the B12CS-B13CS study.

  2. Patient who presents kalaemia > 5.0 mmol/L. 3. Patient who presents a moderate or severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 according to Schwartz formula for the children and both MDRDs and CKD-EPI for adults).

  4. Patient who presents - barring the study disease - any previous or concurrent medical condition or any laboratory or clinical findings or any other condition that in the opinion of the investigator would be negatively affected by the study product or that would affect the study product or that precludes his participation, e.g. uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, adrenal insufficiency, cardiac impairment, repeated infections, metabolic alkalosis, chronic diarrhoea.

  5. Female patient who is pregnant or breast-feeding. 6. Patient who cannot stop potassium sparing diuretics (e.g. antagonists of aldosterone as such spironolactone, canrenoate and eplerenone, amiloride, triamterene), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, tacrolimus, potassium desodic salts.

  7. Patient who received any medication that could interfere with the study treatment within 4 weeks before the inclusion in the study, including angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, tacrolimus, ciclosporine, potassium desodic salts,antibiotics.

  8. Patient who received potassium sparing diuretics 6 weeks before the inclusion in the study.

  9. Patient who presents contra indications to the administration of the study treatment such like known allergic reactions or hypersensitivity to the active pharmaceutical ingredients or other excipients of the formulations of the study treatment (such as lactose), history of difficult access to the oral administration route and/or conditions that may hamper compliance and/or absorption of the study treatment (e.g. any difficulty of swallowing, mal-absorption, delayed gastric emptying, oesophageal compression, intestinal obstruction or other chronic gastrointestinal disease).

  10. Patient who is admitted to hospital in emergency settings. 11. Patient who participated in a clinical trial within the last 3 months before enrolment.
