Long-Chain Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders (LC-FAOD) Extension Study for Subjects Previously Enrolled in Triheptanoin Studies
United States, United Kingdom94 participantsStarted 2014-12-09
Plain-language summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of UX007 in participants with LC-FAOD. The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of UX007 on energy metabolism in LC-FAOD and evaluate the impact of UX007 on clinical events associated with LC-FAOD.

Inclusion criteria
. Male or female, 6 months of age or older
. Prior participation in a clinical study assessing UX007/triheptanoin treatment for LC FAOD. Study Sponsors/Collaborators include: Oregon Health \& Science University, University of Pittsburgh, and Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifiers: NCT01379625, NCT01461304, and NCT01886378). Patients who received UX007/triheptanoin treatment as part of other clinical studies; investigator sponsored trials (IST); expanded access/compassionate use treatment programs; or patients who are treatment naïve (i.e., naïve to both UX007 and food-grade triheptanoin), have failed conventional therapy and, in the opinion of the Investigator and Sponsor, have documented clear unmet need, may also be eligible at the discretion of the Sponsor
. Confirmed diagnosis of LC-FAOD including: CPT I or CPT II deficiency, VLCAD deficiency, LCHAD deficiency, TFP deficiency, or CACT deficiency. Information on diagnosis will be obtained from medical records and should include confirmed diagnosis by results of acylcarnitine profiles, fatty acid oxidation probe studies in cultured fibroblasts, and/or mutation analysis
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Annualized LC-FAOD Major Clinical Events (MCEs) Rate: 18 Months Pre- and Entire UX007 Period Comparison for UX007-CL201-Rollover Cohort
Timeframe: Pre-UX007 treatment period (up to 18 months) and post-UX007 treatment period (up to 2072 days)
2
Annualized LC-FAOD MCEs Rate: 18 Months Pre- and Entire UX007 Period Comparison for IST/Other Cohort and Triheptanoin-Naïve Cohort
Timeframe: Pre-UX007 treatment period (up to 18 months) and post-UX007 treatment period (up to 2072 days)
3
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) or Serious TEAEs
Timeframe: Post-UX007 treatment through the end of treatment (up to 2072 days) plus 30-35 days
. Willing and able to complete all aspects of the study through the end of the study, including visits and tests, documentation of symptoms and diet, and administration of study medications. If a minor, have a caregiver(s) willing and able to assist in all applicable study requirements
. Provide written informed consent (subjects aged ≥ 18 years), or provide written assent (where appropriate) and have a legally authorized representative willing and able to provide written informed consent, after the nature of the study has been explained and prior to any research-related procedures.
. Females of child-bearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at Baseline and be willing to have additional pregnancy tests during the study. Females considered not of child-bearing potential include those who have not experienced menarche, are post-menopausal (defined as having no menses for at least 12 months without an alternative medical cause), or are permanently sterile due to total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy
. Participants of child-bearing potential or fertile males with partners of child-bearing potential who are sexually active must consent to use a highly effective method of contraception as determined by the Investigator from the period following the signing of the informed consent through 30 days after last dose of study drug
Exclusion criteria
. Diagnosis of medium-chain acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency, short- or medium-chain FAOD, ketone body metabolism defect, propionic acidemia or methylmalonic acidemia
. Patient qualifies for any other clinical trial designed to progressively evaluate the safety and efficacy of triheptanoin in LC-FAOD
. Any known hypersensitivity to triheptanoin that, in the judgment of the Investigator, places the subject at increased risk for adverse effects
. Pregnant and/or breastfeeding an infant at Screening or planning to become pregnant (self or partner) at any time during the study
. Have any co-morbid conditions, including unstable major organ-system disease(s) that in the opinion of the Investigator, places the subject at increased risk of complications, interferes with study participation or compliance, or confounds study objectives, or unwilling to discontinue prohibited medications
