Filter by:This non-randomized, open-label study was approximately one year in duration and consisted of a short term NaPBA to HPN-100 switchover part involving two overnight stays followed by a 12-month long term treatment period involving monthly visits.
This was an open-label, long-term safety study of HPN-100 (RAVICTI; glycerol phenylbutyrate) in participants with a urea cycle disorder (UCD) who completed the safety extensions of HPN-100-005 (NCT00947544; HPN-100-005SE), HPN-100-006 (NCT00947297; HPN-100-007), or HPN-100-012 (NCT01347073; HPN-100-012SE). The initial studies were 1- to 2-week crossover studies, and their associated safety extensions were 12-month, open-label studies. All participants who completed the initial studies were eligible to enroll in the associated safety extension studies, and new participants were also permitted to enroll directly into the safety extension studies.
In this short-term study a method for the evaluation of the metabolic competency of the urea cycle in vivo will be assessed. In order to monitor the efficacy of new treatment options for patients with urea cycle disorders and to monitor the severity of the disease, a reliable and safe quantitative method for the measurement of the urea cycle flux is required. Urea synthesis will be evaluated by administering sodium [1-13C]-acetate and measuring subsequent incorporation of [13C] label from Na-acetate into urea in healthy volunteers and asymptomatic subjects genetically disposed to urea cycle disorders.
This was a randomized, active-controlled, double-blind, cross-over study designed to enroll subjects with UCDs who are being treated with NaPBA.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of GT4P administered orally as a single dose, and twice daily for 7 consecutive days, to subjects with hepatic impairment with cirrhosis (Child-Pugh scores of A, B, or C) and to a gender matched and similar age control group with normal hepatic function.
Protocol HPN-100-005 was the first study of HPN-100 in pediatric subjects with urea cycle disorders (UCDs) and was a fixed-sequence, open-label, switch over study of HPN-100 with a long-term (12 month) safety extension designed to assess the safety of HPN-100 and to prospectively assess its ability to control blood ammonia as compared with Sodium Phenylbutyrate (NaPBA). Upon DSMB review of the first ten subjects who completed the switch over part of the study, and with DSMB approval, up to an additional 20 subjects were enrolled into the safety extension part of the study. HPN-100 is a triglyceride that has a similar mechanism of action as NaPBA. It is a liquid with minimal taste and odor. Three teaspoons of HPN-100 (~17.4mL) delivers an equivalent amount of PBA to 40 tablets of NaPBA.
This was a long-term safety study HPN-100 in urea cycle disorder (UCD) subjects. Subjects were assessed regularly for safety and control of their venous ammonia. Hyperammonemic events were characterized with respect to contributing factors, such as intercurrent illness, diet, and noncompliance with medication.
Urea cycle disorders are rare inherited diseases that generally have a poor outcome. In this study, neonates and infants with UCD will be included within the first 3 months of life and will be treated by repetitive application of human liver cells to reduce the risk of neurological deterioration while awaiting OLT.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether HPN-100 is safe and tolerable in subjects with Urea Cycle Disorders.
Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) are a group of rare inherited metabolism disorders. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how UCD-related neurologic injuries affect adults with one of the most common types of UCD.
