Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Glycerol Phenylbutyrate 1100 MG/ML [Ravicti] →

Glycerol Phenylbutyrate 1100 MG/ML [Ravicti]: The patients will orally take a dose of 200 mg/kg/day three times a day during meals: breakfast, lunch or afternoon snack and diner for 6 months.

Study summary

This is a phase II, multicenter, prospective, non-comparative clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of the treatment of pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency (PDH) patients with glycerol phenylbutyrate (Ravicti®).

The trial will be conducted with three visits: 3 day hospitalizations including clinical consultations and paramedical procedures at Month 0 (M0), Month 3 (M3), Month 6 (M6).

During all the research, AE/SAE and treatment compliance will be recorded. Patients will keep their usual treatment during the study time: vitamin B1, ketogenic diet, possible anti-epileptic and/or dystonic treatment(s).

The efficacy on fatigue, polyhandicap, neurodevelopmental functioning, quality of life and seizure amount for epileptic patients will be evaluated at 0, 3 and 6 months. Biological balance will be assed with regular quantification of PDH deficiency markers, lactate concentration and amino acid plasma quantification.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Efficacy on fatigue at 6 months — 6 months
    The efficacy of Glycerol Phenylbutyrate treatment on fatigue at 6 months will be evaluated by the Pediatric Quality of Life Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (PedsQL MFS) at Month 0 and Month 6. Results range from 0 to 72.
