New hope for rare disorder: testing drug to prevent dangerous blood sugar drops

NCT ID NCT07097311

Summary

This study is testing if a medication called triheptanoin is safe and can help prevent low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in people aged 4 and older with Medium-chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MCADD), a rare inherited metabolic disorder. Researchers will monitor participants' blood sugar levels continuously for about 8 weeks to see if the drug helps keep levels stable. The main goal is to check for any side effects while also seeing how well the treatment works.
