TARA-001-301 is a Phase 2b/3 randomized Open-Label Dose-Selection study with an Open-Label Extension and randomized Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study with Open-Label Extension to investigate the safety and efficacy of Choline Chloride for Injection (Low Dose and High Dose) versus Placebo in adolescents (ages 12 to \< 18 years of age) and adults (≥ 18 years of age) with intestinal failure receiving long-term PS when oral or enteral nutrition is not possible, insufficient, or contraindicated.
Participants will be enrolled in one of 2 parts, each part will be followed by an open-label extension period of approximately a year.
Part 1: Open-Label Dose-Selection Phase Part 2: Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase
The purpose of the Open-Label Dose-Selection Phase is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, how Choline Chloride for Injection (study drug) is distributed in the body, and to select 2 of 3 doses for testing in the Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase.
The purpose of the Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase is to assess the safety of the study drug and how well the study drug works at the 2 selected dose levels.

* Individuals with intestinal failure receiving long-term PS when oral or enteral nutrition is not possible, insufficient, or contraindicated who are receiving stable PS at time of screening and for the duration of the study; Note: Long-Term PS = Participant must have been receiving PS for at least 6 months prior to screening and requiring PS at least 3 times per week
* Females of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening
Key Exclusion Criteria:
* Participants taking steatogenic medications or any medicine that could affect the measurement of hepatic steatosis within 12 weeks prior to signing consent
* Evidence of systemic active infection at the time of dosing
* Participants intending to take non-study drug choline supplements or choline-containing multivitamins during the course of the study
* Participants unwilling to limit alcohol intake to no more than 20/g a day for 24 hours prior to their screening visit and for the duration of the study
* Active malignancy (excluding basal cell skin tumor, low or very low risk prostate cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ and local resected cervical cancer)
* Clinically significant renal disease
* Low B12 or low serum folic acid levels that are less than the normal range
* Participants with severe hepatic impairment, defined as Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) Class C (score ≥10) at screening.
Primary outcome measure(s)
Open-Label Dose-Selection Phase: PK of plasma free choline (Cmax) during Week 1 and Week 8 Visits — Week 1 to Week 8 Cmax = maximum concentration
Open-Label Dose-Selection Phase: Open-Label Dose-Selection Phase: PK of plasma free choline (Tmax) during Week 1 and Week 8 Visits — Week 1 to Week 8 Tmax = time of maximum concentration
Open-Label Dose-Selection Phase: PK of plasma free choline (AUC(0-TAU)) during Week 1 and Week 8 Visits — Week 1 to Week 8 AUC = area under the curve, AUC(0-TAU) = AUC at end of dosing
Open-Label Dose-Selection Phase: Change from Baseline in plasma free choline concentrations at Week 8 — Week 1 to Week 8
Open-Label Dose-Selection Phase and Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase, Open-Label Extension Phase: Incidence and severity of TEAEs Incidence of TESAEs — Week 1 to Week 64 TEAE = treatment emergent adverse event, TESAE = treatment emergent serious adverse event
Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase: Change from Baseline in peak plasma free choline concentrations (Cmax) at Week 8 in participants receiving Choline Chloride for Injection versus Placebo — Week 1 to Week 8 Tmax = time of maximum concentration
Open-Label Extension Phase: Participants from Open-Label Dose-Selection Phase: Percentage of participants with plasma free choline concentrations of ≥ 9.5 nmol/mL at Week 64 — Week 64
Open-Label Extension Phase: Percentage of participants maintaining plasma free choline concentrations of ≥ 9.5 nmol/mL at Week 8 and Week 64 (ie, both timepoints) — Week 8 to Week 64
Open-Label Extension Phase: Participants from Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase: % with plasma free choline concentrations of ≥9.5 nmol/mL at Week 64 — Week 1 to Week 64
Open-Label Extension Phase: Participants from Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Phase: % maintaining plasma free choline concentrations of ≥ 9.5 nmol/mL at Week 8, Week 24 and Week 64 for participants who previously received Choline Chloride for Injection — Week 8 to Week 64
