Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders clinical trials at UCSF
2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
Fatty acid oxidation disorders are conditions where the body can't break down fatty acids for energy. UCSF is studying the long-term safety of patients with these disorders, including effects on pregnancy and infants. The trials involve regular clinic visits for monitoring.
Long-Chain Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders In-Clinic Disease Monitoring Program
open to all eligible people
The primary objective of this study is to assess the long-term safety, including pregnancy, infant, and lactation outcomes, of patients with LC-FAOD who are enrolled in the DMP.

Longitudinal Study of Mitochondrial Hepatopathies
Sorry, currently not accepting new patients, but might later
The specific aims of this study are (1) to determine the clinical phenotypes and natural history of hepatic RC and FAO disorders, (2) to determine the correlation between genotype and phenotype, (3) to determine if circulating biomarkers reflect diagnosis and predict liver disease progression and survival with the native liver, (4) to determine the clinical outcome of these disorders following liver transplantation, and (5) to develop a repository of serum, plasma, urine, tissue and DNA specimens that will be used in ancillary studies. To accomplish these aims, the ChiLDREN investigators at clinical sites (currently 15 sites) will prospectively collect defined data and specimens in a uniform fashion at fixed intervals in a relatively large number of subjects. Clinical information and DNA samples to be collected from subjects and their parents will enhance the potential for meaningful research in these disorders. A biobank of subject specimens and DNA samples will be established for use in ancillary studies to be performed in addition to this study.
