Study summary

This protocol has two parts - the Main Study which is 42 days in length and the Treatment Extension which allows the patients who complete the Main Study to continue receiving treatment with uridine triacetate. The purpose of this study is to replace oral administration of uridine with oral administration of uridine triacetate in patients with hereditary orotic aciduria who have received (or would reasonably be expected to receive) clinical benefit from treatment with exogenous uridine. It is also to document the continued clinical benefit of exogenous uridine when patients are switched from oral administration of uridine to oral administration of uridine triacetate.

Read the detailed description

Data to be collected during the Main Study include demographic, baseline disease information and medical history including all prior disease-directed therapy. In addition, vital signs, laboratory values and adverse events information will be collected and recorded. Urine samples will be obtained and measured for orotic acid and orotidine levels. Systemic levels of uridine will be evaluated from plasma samples collected at set timepoints.

Upon successful completion of the Main Study and entry into the Treatment Extension, physical exams and vital signs will be performed every six (6) months. Additionally, plasma samples to measure systemic levels of uridine and urine samples to measure levels of orotic acid and orotidine will be collected every (6) six months.

  • Experimental
    Uridine Triacetate to Replace Uridine

    Replacement therapy for oral uridine with oral administration of uridine triacetate in patients with hereditary orotic aciduria who have received (or would reasonably be expected to receive) clinical benefit from treatment with exogenous uridine. The starting dose of uridine triacetate will be 60 mg/kg/day which may be escalated to 300 mg/kg/day of oral uridine triacetate. The dose may be given once a day or as equally divided doses twice a day.

    Drug: uridine triacetate

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Patients With Stable Predetermined Principal Hematologic Parameters

    Hereditary orotic aciduria patients will be taking uridine triacetate as replacement therapy for uridine. The primary outcome measure will be based on predetermined principal hematologic parameter(s) based on the patient's response(s) to oral uridine when dosing is switched from oral uridine to oral uridine triacetate. The primary outcome measure in patients not previously receiving uridine replacement therapy will be improvement in the patient's principal affected hematologic parameter(s) on Days 28 and 42 compared to baseline (Day 0) of the Main Study.

    Time frame: Days 28 and 42

Secondary outcomes

  1. Patients With Stable or Improved Orotic Acid and Orotidine Levels

    Significantly elevated urine orotic acid levels are characteristic of patients with HOA. Therefore, urinary orotic acid and orotidine levels were assessed in patients at baseline (on uridine or uridine naïve) and on Day 28 and Day 42 following the switch to uridine triacetate. The table below shows the number of participants with stable or improved orotic acid and orotidine levels at Day 28 and Day 42 compared to baseline.

    Time frame: Days 28 and 42

  2. Patients With Levels of Uridine in the Plasma Consistent With Expected Therapeutic Benefit

    HOA is principally a chronic uridine deficiency disorder. The purpose of uridine triacetate administration is to provide an exogenous source of uridine. Therefore, plasma uridine levels were assessed at various time points (prior to dosing, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours and 8 hours) following uridine triacetate dosing to ensure levels of uridine consistent with previously observed symptomatic improvement from administration of uridine were achieved. The table below shows the number of participants with uridine levels consistent with or exceeding previously observed symptomatic improvements.

    Time frame: Days 1 and 28

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 31, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
