Participant Flow

Between August 2006 and November 2007, 42 patients with IFALD were prospectively enrolled to receive compassionate use open label treatment with 10% FOLE (Omegaven®) as part of their PN. For comparison, retrospective data were retrieved for 49 historical control patients who had received 20% SOLE (Intralipid® 20%) as part of their PN between 1999 and 2006. Patients in both treatment arms were required to have a direct bilirubin level \>=2mg/dL upon initiation of their respective lipid emulsion.

2/42 • Number of events 2 • Safety assessment was made from baseline (start of oil-lipid emulsion) until week 38, at which point only one fish oil-lipid emulsion subject was being followed.
Safety assessment was based on comparison of triglycerides (TG), international normalization ratio (INR), and triene-to-tetraene (T/T) ratio. Hypertriglyceridemia was defined as TG\>400 mg/dL, while INR \> 2 and T/T ratio \> 0.2 were deemed abnormally high.
