Glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSDIa) subjects retain a limited capacity for endogenous glucose production (EGP). To date, the origin of residual EGP in GSDIa patients is unknown. Either increased glycogen debranching or lysosomal glycogen breakdown can account for residual EGP in GSDIa. Innovative treatments for GSDIa (e.g. AAV8-mediated gene therapy and mRNA therapy) are being developed.Therefore, longitudinal minimally-invasive monitoring of outcomes after therapeutic interventions in GSD Ia subjects becomes warranted. The primary objective is to test the feasibility of EGP quantification in adult GSDIa subjects by stable isotopes after a single oral [6,6-2H2]glucose dose. Secondary objectives are to compare EGP assessed by a single oral [6,6-2H2]glucose dose (a) in GSDIa patients versus matched healthy participants, (b) among GSDIa patients, (c) in the pre-prandial state versus the fed state, (d) in the controlled hospital setting versus the home setting. Data collected from the continuous glucose monitoring data will also be compared
Hepatic Glycogen Storage Diseases are a group of 10 serious genetic diseases that present in childhood and are characterized more frequently by the occurrence of repetitive hypoglycemia and dyslipidemia. Regarding treatment, the most commonly used strategy is the frequent administration of uncooked cornstarch, in average, every 4 hours. Although this treatment is successful, the use of large amounts of cornstarch can lead to overweight and, especially, to the decrease in the quality of life of patients and caregivers, due to the need to use the starch during the night. The search for a treatment that is widely available and that can lead to the prolongation of the fasting time, can collaborate to improve the care of these patients. The main scientific question to be answered by this research is: does sweet manioc starch, a Brazilian product, safely prolong the fasting time (with normoglycemia) of the patients as already suggested in experimental models? Main objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of uncooked Sweet Manioc Starch in the treatment of patients with hepatic Glycogen Storage Diseases, using as model the Glycogen Storage Diseases type Ia.
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.
The objective of this demonstration project is to compare a novel long-acting starch, Glycosade, a hydrothermally processed high amylopectin maize starch, versus gastrostomy tube-dextrose infusion in maintaining euglycaemia overnight in children with GSD-I. Glycosade has been reported to increase the duration of euglycaemia. Its slow release and longer periods of normal blood sugar achieved would preclude the need for the overnight dextrose infusion and eliminate the need for the surgical insertion of a gastrostomy tube for this purpose. Glycosade also reportedly causes fewer gastrointestinal side effects, thus potentially improving compliance to therapy. The investigators intend to evaluate Glycosade in our patients and determine its efficacy on glucose control, on the length of normoglycemia achieved and to determine if there are reduced side effects in our patients with GSD-I. This will be accomplished by an open label study of Glycosade in GSD-I patients who consent to the protocol.
The aim of the present study is to determine if there is a change in quality and quantity of sleep perceived by adults and children with GSD and their parents while starting a modified UCCS (Glycosade) to prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia. The investigators also aim to evaluate if there is a change in quality of life perceived by adults and children and their parents with Glycosade.
The purpose of this research study is to understand the relationship between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Glycogen storage disease (GSD)type Ia. GSD type Ib has been established to have an association with IBD with clinical and histologic features that mirror those of Crohn disease. Development of the disease seems to be related to the defect of neutrophil function in individuals with GSD type Ib and subsequent colonic inflammation. In the last decade, it has become a standard for patients with GSD type Ib and gastrointestinal symptoms to be evaluated for IBD. Patients with GSD type Ia were not recognized to have similar gastrointestinal symptoms until recently. The prevalence of IBD is greater in patients with GSD type Ia versus the general population.
