Anaplerotic Therapy Using Triheptanoin for Patients With Glycogen Storage Disease Type I
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Triheptanoin for Glycogen Storage Disease Type I. Completed, enrolled 4 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will be an open-label, prospective, interventional feasibility pilot project to study the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of UX007 (triheptanoin) on reducing hypoglycemic events in patients with GSD I. Subjects will serve as their own control. Five (5) subjects who are treatment naïve to UX007 (triheptanoin) and are already on standard dietary therapy for GSDI will be enrolled. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of UX007 (triheptanoin) in patients with GSD I. The secondary objectives include evaluating the effect of UX007 (triheptanoin) on maintaining the duration of normoglycemia between meals based on glucose monitoring (Preventing and reducing the frequency of hypoglycemia); reduction/stabilization of the dose of cornstarch; and the prevention of increased liver steatosis based on ultrasound with elastography.

Timeline
Interventions
This is an open-label study. The UX007 (triheptanoin) starting dose will be 0.25 - 0.5 g/kg and titrated to a maximum of 2.5g/kg depending the on the subject's tolerance. The dose may be reduced if not tolerated. The compound will be administered 3-4 times per day, either at the end of a meal or with a snack. It should be given at least 2 hours apart from any cornstarch dose to allow each to act independent of one another, and to prevent the risk of increased gastrointestinal side effects. The doses may be held during episodes of gastroenteritis or diarrhea.
