The primary objective of this trial is to: 1\. Evaluate the efficacy of piclidenoson to increase renal uptake of 99mTc-labeled DMSA, in comparison to baseline, after 6 months (26 weeks) of treatment as a measure the reabsorption capacity of LMWPs by renal proximal tubules. The secondary objectives of this trial are to: 1. Evaluate changes in urinary excretion of LMWPs and other clinical parameters of renal Fanconi syndrome 2. Evaluate safety of piclidenoson in patients with Lowe syndrome
Objectives 1. Primary Objective: \- The primary objective of the study is to test the efficacy of piclidenoson to increase renal uptake of 99mTc-labeled DMSA after 6 months (26 weeks) of treatment as a measure the reabsorption capacity of LMWPs by renal proximal tubules. 2. Secondary Objectives of the study are: * to evaluate changes in urinary excretion of LMWPs and other clinical parameters of renal Fanconi syndrome, * to evaluate the safety of piclidenoson in patients with Lowe syndrome. Primary Endpoint \- Improvement in the renal uptake, as compared to Baseline, of 99mTc-DMSA after 6 months (26 weeks) of treatment with piclidenoson (a p-value of ≤ 0.05 will be used to determine statistical significance), as a measure of the reabsorption capacity of LMWPs by renal proximal tubules. Secondary Endpoints * Improvement of LMW proteinuria as assessed by changes urinary excretion of retinol-binding protein and beta-2 microglobulin, as compared to baseline, after 3 and 6 months of treatment (a p-value of ≤ 0.05 will be used to determine statistical significance). * Improvement of Fanconi syndrome as assessed by 24-hour urine volume; urinary excretion of sodium, glucose, phosphate, and amino acids; and changes in serum bicarbonate, after 3 and 6 months of treatment, as compared to baseline (a p-value of ≤ 0.05 will be used to determine statistical significance). * Safety of piclidenoson in Lowe syndrome including treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and changes in vital signs, physical examination, neurological examination, clinical laboratory tests (liver, kidney, hematology, chemistry and urinalysis), and ECG.
