Measure
Buphenyl to HPN-100
HPN-100 : Subjects took prescribed dose of Buphenyl® TID (not to exceed 20g/day) at least two weeks prior to enrollment. Subjects took prescribed dose of Buphenyl® TID for first week of study, and then switched over to HPN-100 TID during a dose-escalation phase. The dose of HPN-100 was increased and the dose of Buphenyl® was decreased each week by 50 mg/kg until entire daily dose of phenylbutyrate was HPN-100. Target HPN-100 dose contained the same amount of phenylbutyrate as the subject's prescribed daily dose of Buphenyl®. Subject took HPN-100 alone for one week and then switched back to previous dose of Buphenyl for the last week of the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At steady state (1 week) on each medication (Buphenyl® alone, HPN-100 alone), and at steady state (1 week) after each dose escalation

Data were collected at pre-first dose and at 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours post first dose.

Outcome measures

Measure
NaPBA Steady State
n=10 concentration of ammonia
Subjects were on NaPBA TID treatment for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment, and were thus expected to be at steady-state levels prior to enrollment. After enrollment, subjects received 1 week of NaPBA treatment before switching over to HPN-100 dose escalation phase.
HPN-100 Steady State
n=10 concentration of ammonia
After dose escalation to full dose of HPN-100 was completed, subjects received only HPN-100 for 1 week (and achieved steady state) prior to switching back to their original NaPBA treatment.
