A Phase 2, Fixed-Sequence, Open-Label, Switch-Over Study of the Safety and Tolerability of HPN-100 Compared to Sodium Phenylbutyrate in Children 6-17 Years of Age With Urea Cycle Disorders, With a Long-Term Safety Extension
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating HPN-100 and NaPBA for Urea Cycle Disorders. Completed, enrolled 17 participants across 8 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
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.

Interventions
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 equivalent amount of PBA that 40 tablets of NapBA do.
NaPBA tablets for oral administration and NaPBA powder for oral, nasogastric, or gastrostomy tube administration contain the active ingredient sodium phenylbutyrate. NaPBA is a prodrug and is rapidly metabolized to PAA, the metabolically active compound that conjugates with glutamine via acetylation to form PAGN, which is excreted by the kidneys.
