ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Successful Transition to RAVICTI With Controlled Ammonia (i.e. No Clinical Symptoms and Ammonia < 100 μmol/L): Cohort of 2 Months to <2 Years ParticipantsUp to Day 4
The percentage of participants with successful transition is based on Investigator response to the question, "Has transition to 100% RAVICTI been successful with controlled ammonia?" For participants 2 months of age and older, after a minimum of 24 hours of ammonia monitoring following the first full dose of RAVICTI alone, the participant was effectively transitioned when following conditions were met: no signs and symptoms of hyperammonemia; ammonia level less than 100 μmol/L (without normalization of ammonia, ie, without conversion of values from local laboratories with varying normal ranges to standardized values); and eligible for discharge per Investigator judgment.
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Successful Transition to RAVICTI With Controlled Ammonia (i.e. No Clinical Symptoms and Ammonia < 100 μmol/L): Cohort of 0 Months to <2 Months ParticipantsUp to Day 4
The percentage of participants with successful transition is based on Investigator response to the question, "Has transition to 100% RAVICTI been successful with controlled ammonia?" For participants \< 2 months of age, after a minimum of 24 hours of ammonia monitoring following the first full dose of RAVICTI alone, the participant was effectively transitioned when following conditions were met: no signs and symptoms of hyperammonemia; ammonia level less than 100 μmol/L (without normalization of ammonia, ie, without conversion of values from local laboratories with varying normal ranges to standardized values); and eligible for discharge per Investigator judgment.
SecondaryRate of Hyperammonemic Crises (HACs): Cohort of 2 Months to <2 Years ParticipantsDay 8 through up to Month 6
HAC is defined having signs and symptoms consistent with hyperammonemia (such as but not limited to frequent vomiting, nausea, headache, lethargy, irritability, combativeness, and/or somnolence) associated with high blood ammonia and requiring medical intervention. Rate of HACs per 6 months during the safety extension is calculated as sum of (number of HAC) / sum of (days during first 6 months starting on Day 8 or number days on RAVICTI, whichever is less) across all participants in the corresponding group.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, Deaths, and Discontinuations Due to TEAEs: Cohort of 2 Months to <2 Years ParticipantsFrom the first dose of study treatment through 30 days after the final dose (mean [SD] duration of treatment was 9.13 [6.838] months).
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence, whether or not the event is considered related to the study drug. A serious AE is any AE that: results in death; is life threatening; requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is an important medical event. TEAEs are defined as AEs with an onset date on or after the first dose of study medication until study discontinuation. The Investigator assessed the causal relationship of each TEAE to the study drug as not related, possibly related, or probably related.
