Triheptanoin is under clinical development by Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical and currently in Phase II for Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency. According to GlobalData, Phase II drugs for Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency does not have sufficient historical data to build an indication benchmark PTSR for Phase II. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to create drugs-specific PTSR and LoA in the Triheptanoin LoA Report. Buy the report here.

GlobalData tracks drug-specific phase transition and likelihood of approval scores, in addition to indication benchmarks based off 18 years of historical drug development data. Attributes of the drug, company and its clinical trials play a fundamental role in drug-specific PTSR and likelihood of approval.

Triheptanoin overview

Triheptanoin (Dojolvi) is a triglyceride. It is formulated as liquid for oral route of administration. Dojolvi is indicated for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients with molecularly confirmed long chain fatty acid oxidation disorders.

Triheptanoin is under development for the treatment of long-chain 3-hydroxy acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) deficiency, carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency, carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency and medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD). The drug candidate is administered orally as a liquid. It is a synthetic triglyceride of heptanoate which is composed of three seven-carbon fatty acids.

It was also under development for the treatment of Pompe disease and sporadic inclusion body myositis (s-IBM). It was under development for Glucose Transporter Type 1 Deficiency Syndrome (Glut1 DS) patients experiencing disabling paroxysmal movement disorders, Barth syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Rett syndrome, Huntington's disease, Mc Ardle disease (glycogen storage disease type V), glycogen storage disorder type 1, tarui disease, debrancher deficiency and glycogenin-1 deficiency, childhood hemiplegia, migraine, mitochondrial dysfunction in Rett syndrome, dyskinesia and epilepsy.
