ammonium hydroxide and Urea Cycle Disorders, Inborn

ammonium hydroxide has been researched along with Urea Cycle Disorders, Inborn in 53 studies

azane : Saturated acyclic nitrogen hydrides having the general formula NnHn+2.

Urea Cycle Disorders, Inborn: Rare congenital metabolism disorders of the urea cycle. The disorders are due to mutations that result in complete (neonatal onset) or partial (childhood or adult onset) inactivity of an enzyme, involved in the urea cycle. Neonatal onset results in clinical features that include irritability, vomiting, lethargy, seizures, NEONATAL HYPOTONIA; RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS; HYPERAMMONEMIA; coma, and death. Survivors of the neonatal onset and childhood/adult onset disorders share common risks for ENCEPHALOPATHIES, METABOLIC, INBORN; and RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS due to HYPERAMMONEMIA.

Trial Outcomes

Percentage of Participants With Successful Transition to RAVICTI With Controlled Ammonia (i.e. No Clinical Symptoms and Ammonia < 100 μmol/L): Cohort of 0 Months to <2 Months Participants

"The percentage of participants with successful transition is based on Investigator response to the question, Has transition to 100% RAVICTI been successful with controlled ammonia? For participants < 2 months of age, after a minimum of 24 hours of ammonia monitoring following the first full dose of RAVICTI alone, the participant was effectively transitioned when following conditions were met: no signs and symptoms of hyperammonemia; ammonia level less than 100 μmol/L (without normalization of ammonia, ie, without conversion of values from local laboratories with varying normal ranges to standardized values); and eligible for discharge per Investigator judgment."

Number of Participants With TEAEs, Serious TEAEs, Deaths, and Discontinuations Due to TEAEs: Cohort of 0 Months to <2 Months Participants

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence, whether or not the event is considered related to the study drug. A serious AE is any AE that: results in death; is life threatening; requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is an important medical event. TEAEs are defined as AEs with an onset date on or after the first dose of study medication until study discontinuation. The Investigator assessed the causal relationship of each TEAE to the study drug as not related, possibly related, or probably related. (NCT02246218)
Timeframe: From the first dose of study treatment through 30 days after the final dose (mean [SD] duration of treatment was 10.67 [6.142] months).

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, Deaths, and Discontinuations Due to TEAEs: Cohort of 2 Months to <2 Years Participants

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence, whether or not the event is considered related to the study drug. A serious AE is any AE that: results in death; is life threatening; requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is an important medical event. TEAEs are defined as AEs with an onset date on or after the first dose of study medication until study discontinuation. The Investigator assessed the causal relationship of each TEAE to the study drug as not related, possibly related, or probably related. (NCT02246218)
Timeframe: From the first dose of study treatment through 30 days after the final dose (mean [SD] duration of treatment was 9.13 [6.838] months).

Quality of Life Assessed by the SF-15 Questionnaire

"change from baseline to Month 12.~The SF 15 questionnaire consists of 15 questions that assess the following:~Physical functioning (5 questions)~Emotional functioning (4 questions)~Social functioning (3 questions)~School functioning (3 questions) Items were scored on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always) or a 3-point scale (0 [not at all], 2 [sometimes], or 4 [a lot] for the young child self-report). Items were reverse-scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, and 4=0. Total score was 0-100 scale (averaged from each functional areas). In the 0-100 scale, 0 is the worst score and 100 is best score.~Improved quality of life was shown by increased total score from baseline to Month 12." (NCT00947544)
