Anaplerotic Therapy Using Triheptanoin for Patients With Glycogen Storage Disease Type I

Glycogen Storage Disease Type I Clinical Trial

Official title: Anaplerotic Therapy Using Triheptanoin for Patients With Glycogen Storage Disease Type I

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will be an open-label, prospective, interventional feasibility pilot project to study the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of UX007 (triheptanoin) on reducing hypoglycemic events in patients with GSD I. Subjects will serve as their own control. Five (5) subjects who are treatment naïve to UX007 (triheptanoin) and are already on standard dietary therapy for GSDI will be enrolled. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of UX007 (triheptanoin) in patients with GSD I. The secondary objectives include evaluating the effect of UX007 (triheptanoin) on maintaining the duration of normoglycemia between meals based on glucose monitoring (Preventing and reducing the frequency of hypoglycemia); reduction/stabilization of the dose of cornstarch; and the prevention of increased liver steatosis based on ultrasound with elastography.

Clinical Trial Description

Prior to first study appointment: A medical record review will be done prior to the appointment to confirm the diagnosis of GSD I. For interested subjects who are not already known to the investigators (i.e., patients of the Duke University Medical Center), a release of protected health information will be signed by the potential subjects to obtain records that can be used to confirm diagnosis. Baseline / Visit 1: Study subjects will be instructed to come to the DUMC to review and sign the informed consent document. At that time, complete medical history and complete physical examination will be obtained. Blood and urine will be collected for laboratory assessments. Height, weight, and vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, respiration) will be collected. A nutritional history and review of diet dairy collected three days prior to the visit will be reviewed by a study dietitian. The blood glucose monitoring log for the three days prior to the visit will also be reviewed the study dietitian and MD. Study staff will collect concomitant medications and adverse event collection will begin once dosing with UX007 is initiated. An ultrasound with elastography will be conducted at the DUMCs radiology department and reviewed and a report generated by a radiologist. Safety Phone Contact: Subjects will be called by study staff the day after they start the UX007 and again 4 weeks later to assess nutritional history, review of glucose diary, review of dosing compliance, and to obtain an updated weight. Study staff will also review adverse events (AE/SAE) and concomitant medications during these calls. If a subject experiences an AE/SAE they will be contacted every two weeks until the AE/SAE is resolved. 2, 4, and 6 Month/Early Termination Visits: Same procedures will be conducted as at the baseline visit, with the exception of the ultrasound with elastography, which will only be collected again at the 6 Month/Early Termination Visit. Post-termination Phone Contact: 2-6 weeks after the 6 month/early termination visit study staff will contact the subject to collect an interim medical history, evaluation of nutritional history, review of glucose diary as well as review of adverse events and concomitant medications. An updated weight will also be obtained. ;
