A Study to Determine the Effect of Triheptanoin Compared With Even-Chain MCT on MCEs in Pediatric Patients With LC-FAOD

Phase 3
Recruiting
Conditions
Long-chain Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders (LC-FAOD)
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: MCT Oil
Registration Number
NCT05933200
Lead Sponsor
Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc
Brief Summary

The main goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of triheptanoin versus Medium-chain Triglycerides (MCT) on frequency of Major Clinical Events (MCEs).

Detailed Description

Participants will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive triheptanoin or MCT oil. The duration of the study is estimated to be 3.5 to 4 years. The study comprises the following: Screening Period, Baseline (Month 0), Double-blind Treatment Period (including Titration and End of Study Visit), Safety Follow-up Phone Visit, and an Open Access Period.

In addition, a substudy will examine the effect of triheptanoin versus MCT on decreasing liver fat fraction to avoid or improve steatosis in subjects with LC-FAOD. Participants older than 2 years of age at selected sites will be invited to screen for the Liver Substudy.

TriheptanoinTriheptanoinParticipants will be given prescriptions for triheptanoin in mL/day, which will be divided into approximately 4 administrations per day, with precise instructions for administration. Triheptanoin will be titrated up to the first 6 weeks of the study. After titration, the dose is to remain stable for the remainder of the Double-blind Treatment Period. Following the Double-blind Treatment Period, open-label triheptanoin will be provided at participants' current dose during an Open Access Period, if no other options to receive trihepatnoin are available locally.
