6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

The safety of CTEXLI was evaluated in a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, 2-period, 2-treatment crossover trial in 14 patients (16 to 55 years of age) with CTX (Trial 1).

CTEXLI is not approved for use in pediatric patients.

The dosage of CTEXLI was 250 mg orally three times a day [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )].

The mean (SD) chenodiol exposure during Trial 1 was 139.1 (26.7) days.

The most common adverse reactions which occurred in two or more patients ( > 14%) during CTEXLI treatment (including the two 8-week open-label treatment periods) were diarrhea (36%), headache (21%), and abdominal pain (including abdominal pain upper) (14%), constipation (14%), hypertension (14%), muscular weakness (14%), and upper respiratory tract infection (14%).

In Trial 1, one CTEXLI-treated patient (7%) had increased ALT levels > 3x ULN, which led to treatment interruption.

6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of chenodiol.

Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

• Hepatobiliary Disorders: Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Immune System Disorders: Hypersensitivity reactions such as facial swelling, pruritus, rash, urticaria.
