About this study

Official title: A Study to Characterize Rate of Ureagenesis Utilizing Oral [1-13C] Sodium Acetate in the Spectrum of Severity of Patients With Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) Deficiency

The objectives of the study are to characterize urea production rates in patients with OTC, characterize the association of rate of ureagenesis and disease severity in OTC patients, characterize the association of rate of ureagenesis and executive and verbal function and characterize the association of rate of ureagenesis and patient-reported functional status.

Read the detailed description

Study DTX301-CL102 is a noninterventional, observational study to characterize the rate of ureagenesis and to assess neurocognition and functional status in the spectrum of OTC deficiency and their association with biochemical characteristics. [1-13C]Sodium acetate will be administered orally as a tracer to measure the rate of ureagenesis.

Study groups in NCT04717453
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Adult Patients with OTC DeficiencyEligible subjects will be asked to participate in 5 clinic visits, each lasting up to 3 days. Each visit will assess rate of ureagenesis during the 4 hours following ingestion of [1-13C]sodium acetate. Sodium acetate is used as a tracer to measure the rate of ureagenesis. Patient interview, reported outcomes and cognitive assessments will take place over the 3 days.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate over time of ureagenesis for 4 hours based on presence of [1-13C] in urea

    Urea excretion after ingestion of sodium acetate as measured in blood

    Measured: Predose (0hour) up to 4 hours post dose at Baseline, Weeks 24, 48, 72, and 96

  2. OTC Genotype

    Genotype in blood

    Measured: Up to 96 weeks

  3. Rate of Hyperammonemic Crisis (HAC)

    Measured: Up to 96 weeks

  4. Cognitive assessment

    Cogstate platform

    Measured: Up to 96 weeks

  5. Hyperammonemia Indicator Questionnaire (HI-Q)

    Patient-reported outcome (PRO) for symptoms of hyperammonemia

    Measured: Up to 96 weeks

  6. OTC Deficiency Impact Questionnaire (OTC-D-IQ)

    PRO for impact of hyperammonemia

    Measured: Up to 96 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency, run by Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Sponsor's Decision). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate over time of ureagenesis for 4 hours based on presence of [1-13C] in urea (time frame: Predose (0hour) up to 4 hours post dose at Baseline, Weeks 24, 48, 72, and 96). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Feb 2022.
