3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Expanded access to DCA as continued treatment for congenital lactic acidosis.
To establish the relationship between human MAAI haplotype and DCA and tyrosine metabolism. This aim test the postulates that MAAI haplotype determines, and thus can predict,1) dose-dependent DCA kinetics and biotransformation.
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the pharmacokinetics of sodium dichloroacetate (DCA) in patients with congenital lactic acidemia. II. Determine the efficacy of DCA in decreasing the frequency and/or severity of acute episodes of acidotic illness, improving linear growth, improving neurological or developmental function, or slowing neurological or developmental deterioration in these patients.
