简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether HPN-100 is safe and tolerable in subjects with Urea Cycle Disorders.
详细描述
When protein is broken down in the body, nitrogen is formed. In healthy individuals, the body combines this nitrogen with other molecules to create a harmless substance called urea, which is excreted in the urine. Patients with Urea Cycle Disorders (UCD) are unable to create as much urea from nitrogen, and therefore, toxic levels of nitrogen can accumulate in the body, causing harm. To treat these patients, doctors usually have the patient consume less protein and supplement certain amino acids that may be lacking. A drug called Buphenyl® is sometimes prescribed as an adjunctive treatment for the chronic maintenance of UCD patients in order to keep ammonia levels down. Some issues with Buphenyl® include a high pill burden (up to 40 pills per day), bad taste and odor, and high sodium content. Like Buphenyl®, HPN-100 provides an alternate way for the body to dispose of nitrogen, other than through the urea cycle. Unlike Buphenyl®, HPN-100 is an odorless, tasteless, concentrated oil that does not contain large amounts of sodium.

- •Use of any medication known to significantly affect renal clearance (e.g., probenecid) or to increase protein catabolism (e.g., corticosteroids), or other medication (e.g., valproate) known to increase ammonia levels, within the 24 hours prior to Visit 1

研究组 & 干预措施
BUPHENYL® to HPN-100 vs. HPN-100
Buphenyl treatment for one week was followed by dose escalation to HPN-100. Dose of Buphenyl was gradually decreased while HPN-100 dose was gradually increased until subject reached dosing of 100% HPN-100. HPN-100 at 100% of the dose was given for 1 week before subject was switched back to original Buphenyl treatment.
干预措施: HPN-100 (Drug)
