Registry of Thiola EC Therapy

February 28, 2024 updated by: NYU Langone Health

Open Label Prospective Observational Registry of Thiola EC Therapy

Thiola EC represents several modifications of Thiola that promise better, more efficacious therapy of cystinuria. First, pill size has changed from 100 mg to 300 mg, meaning that typical pill burden will be reduced from, on average, 10 pills per day to 3-5 pills per day. This change will be welcomed by patients whose fluid intake and administration of potassium citrate are daily impositions. Second, the preparation is now enteric-coated, formulated to offer delayed release of active tiopronin. Lastly, Thiola EC can be taken with food which is an improvement to the inconvenient dosing regimen of Thiola, which can only be taken one hour before, or two hours after meals. These changes may affect compliance and side effect profiles compared to those of Thiola. In combination with potassium citrate or other alkali preparations, adverse GI effects are relatively common in actively-treated patients with cystinuria. It is possible that GI side effects may be reduced by Thiola EC.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Wisconsin Stone Quality Of Life (WiSQoL) Score
Time Frame: Baseline
The WiSQoL questionnaire is designed to understand the quality of life of patients with a history of kidney stones. There are 7 main questions that each have sub-questions. The questions are answered on a scale from 1 (very true / always or almost always) to 5 (not at all true / not at all, never). The total range of questions is 28-140; the lower the score, the worse the quality of life.
