Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of HPN-100 for the Treatment of Adults With Urea Cycle Disorders (NCT NCT00992459)

NCT ID: NCT00992459

Last Updated: 2024-07-09

Results Overview

Blood samples were collected at pre-dose, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours after first dose on days 14 and 28. Arm A day 14 and Arm B day 28 data were combined as a NaPBA treatment Arm. Arm B day 14 and Arm A day 28 data were combined as a HPN-100 treatment Arm.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: pre-dose, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours after first dose on days 14 and 28

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) (N = 45): Patients receiving any amount of NaPBA or HPN-100 comprise the ITT population. ITT population was to be used for the primary analysis of this endpoint. One subject who withdrew from study after receiving one dose of NaPBA yielding N=44

Blood samples were collected at pre-dose, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours after first dose on days 14 and 28. Arm A day 14 and Arm B day 28 data were combined as a NaPBA treatment Arm. Arm B day 14 and Arm A day 28 data were combined as a HPN-100 treatment Arm.
