Filter by:UNLOCKED: A Phase 2 Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of KB195 in Subjects with a Urea Cycle Disorder with Inadequate Control on Standard of Care
The objective is to determine if acetohydroxamic acid (AHA) can prevent hydrolysis of urea by inhibiting the bacterial urease of gut flora of both healthy control adults as well as adults with urea cycle disorders
THRIVE is an observational study that will collect information on patients with UCDs. THRIVE will follow enrolled participants for up to 10 years. As an observational study, enrolled patients will not be required to make any additional office visits or take any medicine outside of normal care.
The primary purpose of the proposed study is to characterize the oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokine status in UCD during baseline and decompensated states.
Objectives: - To study nutrition and immune system problems in people with urea cycle disorders. - To study how people with urea cycle disorders and healthy volunteers respond to standard flu and/or hepatitis A vaccines. - To compare differences in nutrition and immune systems of people with urea cycle disorders with that of healthy volunteers. Eligibility: - Healthy males and females at least 2 years of age who are able to travel to the National Institutes of Health hospital in Bethesda, MD - Males and females at least 2 years of age who have a urea cycle disorder and are able to travel to the National Institutes of Health hospital in Bethesda, MD. Design: For Patients with urea cycle disorder: - Participants will spend 2 to 3 days in the National Institutes of Health hospital for the following tests: - A physical exam and review of medical history - Food log for 3 days before the start of the study - Blood tests - 24-hour urine collection - Resting metabolism test - DEXA scan imaging study of bones and body fat - Participants who are old enough to do certain tasks by themselves (like dressing and eating) can choose to have the following extra tests: - 24-hour metabolic room measurements - BodPod(Registered Trademark) study to measure bones and body fat - Participants may choose to have a flu shot and/ or Hepatitis A shot at the end of the study and will be monitored to check for possible side effects. - Participants will return within 1 to 3 months for follow-up tests/immunizations. For Healthy Volunteers: - Participants will be seen at the outpatient clinics at the National Institutes of Health hospital for up to 2 visits for the following: - Review food log completed 3 days before the start of the study - Blood tests - Participants may choose to have a flu shot and/ or Hepatitis A shot at the end of the study and will be monitored to check for possible side effects. - Participants will return within 1 to 3 months for follow-up tests/immunizations. - Review of second food log completed 3 days before second outpatient visit
