Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Subjects will be taking prescribed dose of Buphenyl® TID (not to exceed 20g/day) at least two weeks prior to enrollment. Subjects will take prescribed dose of Buphenyl® TID for first week of study, and then switch over to HPN-100 TID during a dose-escalation phase. The dose of HPN-100 will be increased and the dose of Buphenyl® will be decreased each week by 50 mg/kg until entire daily dose of phenylbutyrate is HPN-100. Target HPN-100 dose will contain the same amount of phenylbutyrate as the subject's prescribed daily dose of Buphenyl®. Subject will take HPN-100 alone for one week and then switch back to previous dose of Buphenyl for the last week of the study.
BUPHENYL® (sodium phenylbutyrate) tablets and powder have been approved for marketing in the United States since 1996 as an adjunctive therapy in the long-term management of patients with UCDs involving deficiencies of CPS, OTC, or ASS.
