Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX) Prevalence Study

November 7, 2018 updated by: Travere Therapeutics, Inc.

An Observational, Multicenter Study of the Prevalence of Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX) in Patient Populations Diagnosed With Early-Onset Idiopathic Bilateral Cataracts

This is an observational, multicenter study to determine the prevalence of Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX) in patient populations diagnosed with early-onset idiopathic bilateral cataracts. Patients who are potentially eligible for study participation will be identified through a chart review of patients who were seen at each study site prior to that site's initiation, or by entering care at the site while the site is participating in the trial.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To calculate the prevalence of Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX) in a patient population diagnosed up to age 21 with early-onset idiopathic bilateral cataracts
Time Frame: 8 weeks
(by blood draw where plasma cholenstanol levels and/or urine bile alcohol results will be used to determine whether genetic testing is indicated. Genetic Testing, if indicated, will be used to determine the prevalence of CTX)
8 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To assess other manifestations of CTX within patients presenting with idiopathic bilateral cataracts.
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Based on a patient reported, CTX disease-specific medical history for the patients diagnosed with CTX, the manifestations and symptoms related to the disease will be presented by body system.
8 weeks
