A Clinical Study of Glycerol Phenylbutyrate in Chinese Patients With Urea Cycle Disorders
Sponsor: Tongji Hospital
Summary
Urea cycle disorders (UCD) are rare diseases in China, would lead to high mortality and disability, which require long-term management due to the recurrent symptoms. This multi-center, prospective, single-arm study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of Glycerol Phenylbutyrate for Chinese pediatric patients with UCD, to provide the additional references and treatment options for Chinese UCD patients, and enhance the clinical management of UCD in China. This study primarily observes patients with UCD who are on long-term treatment with glyceryl phenylbutyrate, the total planned observation period is 5 years.

Glycerol phenylbutyrate Oral Liquid
Administration and dosage: The recommended total daily dose of glycerol phenylbutyrate is calculated based on the patient's body surface area, ranging from 4.5 mL/m2/d to 11.2 mL/m2/d: 1. Recommended initial dose in phenylbutyrate-naïve patients * Patients with body surface area (BSA) \< 1.3 m2: 8.5 mL/m2/day * Patients with body surface area (BSA) ≥ 1.3 m2: 7 mL/m2/day 2. Initial dose for patients switching from sodium phenylbutyrate to glycerol phenylbutyrate: Total daily dose of glycerol phenylbutyrate (ml) = total daily dose of sodium phenylbutyrate granules (g) ×0.81 Medication Schedule: The daily total dose should be divided into equal amounts and administered with each meal or feeding (such as three to six times daily).
