`
`urinary PAGN (U-PAGN) and morning spot U-PAGN (p<0.001 for all correlations), the strongest correlation was found with 24-h U-PAGN (r~ 0.821
`for GPB and 0.788 for NaPBA), followed by plasma PAGN AUC0 _2 4 h ( r = 0.716), and PAGN trough levels (r = 0.673 ); plasma PBA and PAA either as
`AUC0 _24 or trough/peak levels showed weaker correlations (r values ranging from 0.247 to 0.534). Similar to 24-h U-PAGN, morning spot U-PAGN
`correlated strongly with GPB dose (r= 0.730) in adults; no spot urine samples were collected in the pediatric study (HPN-100-005). In protocol
`HPN-100-006, which enrolled adults, plasma PAA exposure was significantly lower on GPB vs. NaPBA (AUC0 _24 (~1g h/mL) 447 ( 130.4) vs. 599
`(91.6); ratio of geometric means 0.625; 90% Cl 0.523-0.748; p = 0.001) despite nearly identical output of U-PAGN ( 13502745 (52.5) ug vs.
`13627515 (52.0) ug) and previously reported equivalent ammonia control.
`
`Conclusion: The considerable variability of blood metabolite levels. their weaker correlation with dose, and the inconsistency between PM
`and U-PAGN as a marker of waste nitrogen scavenging, as well as practical considerations, limit their utility for therapeutic monitoring. By con(cid:173)
`trast, both 24-h U-PAGN and morning spot urine PAGN correlate strongly with close and appear to be clinically useful non-invasive biomarkers
`for monitoring compliance and the need for close adjustment.

`
`PAA is an endogenous bodily constituent and the active moiety in sodium phenyl butyrate (NaPBA), approved for treatment of UCDs, and in
`glycerol phenyl butyrate (GPB, also GT4P or HPN-100), being developed as a treatment alternative to NaPBA for UCO patients. Many of the over
`30 reports of administration of NaPBA and/or sodium phenylacetic acid to humans describe adverse events (AEs), particularly when
`administered intravenously. Thibault ( 1994, 1995) administered IV PAA to cancer patients and reported that AEs, including fatigue.
`dizziness, clysgeusia, headache, somnolence, lightheadedness. pedal edema, nausea, vomiting, and rash, correlated with PAA levels from 499
`to 1285 pg/mL. Although NaPBA has been used in UCO treatment for over two decades and although AEs reportedly associated with PAA are
`similar to those associated with hyperammonemia, little is known about the relationship between PAA levels and neurological AEs in UCO
`patients.
`
`Study design: Three populations were studied: ( 1) 130 healthy adults dosed with 4 to 12 mL TIO of GPB in a thorough QTc study, (2) 54 adult
`and 11 pediatric UCO patients (ages 6-17) enrolled in one of 3 protocols involving short term (2-4 week) switchover comparisons of NaPBA vs.
`GPB, and (3) 77 patients enrolled in two nearly identical 12-month GPB treatment protocols. In populations 1 and 2, maximal PAA (i.e. Cmax)
`levels were analyzed in relation to neurological AEs as defined by MEDORA using an Exact non-parametric Mann-Whitney test and Generalized
`Estimating Equations (GEE) with a logit link function and effects for dose and PAA level. The relationship between PAA levels the occurrence of
`the AEs reported by Thiebault was also explored in population 3.
`
`Results: There was no statistically significant relationship among UCO patients between neurological AEs and PAA levels for either GPB or
`Nal'BA. The odds ratio of a neurological AE ocrnrring for each 20 pg/mL increase in PAA levels for the two drugs combined was 0.95, very
`close to 1. Thus, among UCO patients dosed with HPN-100 or NaPBA over the ranges used in these studies, increasing levels of PM, which
`ranged up to 244 pg/mL, were not associated with an increase in neurological AEs. Similarly in population 3, PAA levels did not increase over
`time and exhibited no apparent relationship to neurological AEs, which also did not increase in frequency over time. The pediatric subject
`with the highest PAA level ( 410 fig/mL) did not report neurological AEs close to the timing of the blood draw. Unlike UCO subjects, healthy
`adult volunteers who reported a nervous system AE had statistically significantly higher PM Cmax levels than those who did not. While this anal(cid:173)
`ysis in healthy adults is compromised by the fact that PAA levels were not always available at the time of occurrence of the AEs and the small

`
`sample_ ~ize in the l~igh~r close groups, the odds ratio of 1.75 (p = 0.006) suggests that increasing levels of PM are associated with increased
`?robab1hty of expenenc111g a nervous sy_stem AE among these healthy adults. AEs reported by healthy adults generally began within 36 h of dos-
`111g and, among those adults who rema111ecl on study, most resolved with continued dosing.
`
`~onclusions: A sig~ificant relationship betw~en '.AA levels and occurrence of neurological AEs, which generally resolved with continued
`closmg, _w~s detected 111 healthy volunteers. Unlike 111 _healthy adults, PM Cm.ix did not correlate with nervous system AEs in UCO patients
`o~er a s1mil~r range of closes and P~A levels. These find111gs may reflect metabolic differences among the populations ( e.g. UCO patients exhibit
`high glutamme levels compared with healthy humans) and/or metabolic adaptation with continued closing.

`
`Glycerol phenylbutyrate (GPB, also referred to as HPN-100 or GT4P) is being developed as a treatment alternative to sodium phenyl butyrate
`(NaPBA) for UCO patients. GPB is a short chain triglyceride (liquid), and 5.8 mL TIO is anticipated to be the equivalent of 40 tablets (20 g) of NaPBA.
`
`Study Design: Population PK model building was performed using NONMEM (version 7.2) based on 2981 (plasma phenylbutyric acid [PBA],
`phenylacetic acid [PAA], phenylacetylglutamine [PAGN] and urine PAGN [UPAGN])) data points from 53 adult and 11 pediatric UCO patients
`(ages 6-17) who participated in phase 2 (UP 1204-003; HPN-100-005) or phase 3 (HPN-100-006) switchover comparisons of the pharmacoki(cid:173)
`netics ofNaPBA and GPB. The median GPB dose, expressed as grams of PBA per 1112, was 8.85 and 7.01 for pediatric and adult subjects, respectively.
`Diagnostic plots and statistical comparisons were used to select among candidate models, and covariates were assessed by graphical analyses and
`covariate modelling. Using the final pop PK model and parameter estimates, Monte Carlo simulations were performed in -1000 virtual patients for
`a range of NaPBA and GPB doses to predict systemic metabolite exposure and UPAGN output.
`
`Results: The final model that best fit the data was characterized by (a) partial conversion of PBA to PAGN prior to reaching the systemic
`circulation, (b) saturable conversion of PAA to PAGN (Km -161 ~tg/ml), and (c) -60% slower PBA absorption when cleliverecl as GPB vs.
`NaPBA. Body size (i.e. body surface area or BSA) was a significant covariate such that metabolite clearance was proportionally related to BSA,
`i.e. larger BSA corresponds to more rapid metabolite clearance. Fractional presystemic metabolism of PBA was higher for adults than for pediatric
`patients receiving GPB (43% vs. 14%), whereas the reverse was true for NaPBA (23% vs. 43%). As compared with NaPBA. predicted median PAA
`exposure based on simulated GPB closing at the PBA equivalent of 13 g/m2 of NaPBA (maximum labelled close, not to exceed 20 g NaPBA/clay
`total) was -13%-22% lower in adults (Cmax = 82 vs. 106 pg/mL; AUC0 _24 = 649 vs. 829 pg.him) and -13% higher in pediatric subjects ages

`for adult subjects on GPB vs NaPBA ( Cmax = 341 vs. 558 pg/ml; AUC0 _24 = 1625 vs. 2572) and similar for pediatric subjects ( Cmax = 496 vs.

`predicted PAA exposure for both drugs and for pediatric as well as adult patients. Recovery of PBA as UPAGN was very similar whether delivered
`orally as GPB or NaPBA.
`
`Conclusions: GPB behaves as a slow-release version of NaPBA in that the rate of PBA absorption is slower but the extent of absorption,
`as assessed by UPAGN, is very similar. PAA to PAGN conversion is saturable, and the higher PAA levels in pediatric as compared with adult
`UCO patients for both drugs reflect BSA-related changes in PAA clearance and higher per weight closing in pediatric patients. Differences in
`the proportion of PBA metabolized presystemically appear to account for the cl rug-related differences in PAA levels, which are modest in relation

`to inter-subject variability observed with both drugs. Even with dosing at the upper end of the labelled range for NaPBA (i.e. 13 g/m2 of NaPBA;
`not to exceed 20 g/day) where PAA exposure shows greatest variability, the upper 95th percentile for PAA exposure, assessed as Cmax, is less
`than 500 μg/ml.

`
`We investigated the adaptive functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II;
`Hunter syndrome) through interviews with parents/caregivers of 73 patients. To investigate adaptive functioning, the Vineland Adaptive Behav-
`ior Scales (2nd Ed.) Parent/Caregiver Rating Scale (Vineland-II) was administered and the results were compared to the normative sample. On the
`Vineland-II, the parents/caregivers of MPS II patients reported scores significantly lower than the normative sample in the domains of commu-
`nication, daily living skills, socialization, and motor skills, as well as for each subdomain of the measure. To examine health-related quality of
`life, the PedsQL Quality of Life, Parent Proxy Report was administered to 65 parents/caregivers of patients with MPS II; the results were compared
`to a healthy sample and an oncology sample. On the PedsQL, the reported HRQOL of the MPS II patients was significantly lower than the reported
`HRQOL of healthy children for the following scales: physical health, psychosocial health (including emotional functioning, social functioning,
`and school functioning), and the total score. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were found on all aforementioned PedsQL scales
`when comparing the scores reported by parents/caregivers of MPS II patients to the scores reported by parents of oncology patients. These
`findings demonstrate that individuals with MPS II have significant limitations in their adaptive functioning, as well as poorer HRQOL than healthy
`individuals and oncology patients in terms of physical, emotional, social, and school functioning. Professionals and caregivers involved in the lives
`of MPS II patients should be aware of, and attentive to, the limitations for MPS II patients within the realms of adaptive behavior and HRQOL.
`Additionally, it is important for those involved in the patients' lives to seek opportunities to improve the HRQOL of these patients.

`
`Background: MPS III is predominantly a neurological disease. Quantitative MRI and neurocognitive function may provide understanding of
`the disease and information about rate of decline.
`
`Goals: 1. Collect natural history data and develop outcome measures sensitive to treatment effects; 2. Identification of related changes in
`cognitive performance.
`
`Methods: Cross-sectional quantitative MRI data were collected for children with MPS IIIA during a natural history study sponsored by Shire
`Human Genetic Therapies, Inc. Volumetric analysis was performed by automated segmentation. All volumes were adjusted to intracranial
`volume. Developmental quotient (DQ) and age equivalent scores were utilized as cognitive outcome.
`Patients showed differing cognitive attributes depending on age at diagnosis. 19 children with classic symptoms were diagnosed before 6y of
`age; 6 were diagnosed with later onset/attenuated disease. Mean age was 6.2 y, mean DQ 45. DQ declined with age (p b 0.01), grey matter loss
`(p b 0.001), and increase in compound ventricular volume (p b0.001). A robust correlation with grey matter was found; because of continued
`development in the group diagnosed before 6y, the relationship of grey matter volumes to DQ was less than the older attenuated group, prob-
`ably due to lack of atrophy onset in the younger group. Grey matter loss was significantly related to increasing age (p b 0.01).
`
`Discussion: Grey matter volume loss with enlarging ventricles is the leading MRI pattern linked to cognitive decline in MPS III. The
`pathomechanism causing neuronal death is still unknown and no treatment is available. We demonstrate a quantitative description of disease
`progression that is a first step to establish an evaluation tool for future therapies.

`
`We present the third case report of a patient with Glutaric Aciduria type I (GA1) and rhabdomyolysis. The male infant was diagnosed with
`GA1 at 4 months of age when, in the setting of febrile illness, he experienced seizures, opisthotonic posturing, and intermittent dystonia. Brain
`MRI revealed characteristic basal ganglia lesions, and urine organic acid analysis showed markedly elevated glutarate and 3-OH-glutarate.
`He remained stable on a lysine and tryptophan restricted diet for several years, but did have severe spasticity and painful spasms. At
`7 years of age, dystonia worsened and was resistant to medications. At 8.5 years of age, he presented with fever, suspected pneumonia/sepsis,
`respiratory distress, and worsening dystonia which progressed to status dystonicus. Laboratory studies indicated renal failure and rhabdomy-
`olysis associated with elevated serum AST, ALT, and CK. Hypotension developed and was
