Purpose

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the clinical efficacy of combination glyceryl trierucate and glyceryl trioleate (Lorenzo's Oil) therapy in boys with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy.

II. Compare the frequency and severity of neurological disability of study patients with untreated historical controls.

Estimated Primary Completion Date:	November 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
GTO/GTE treatment Treatment with GTO/GTE orally; 30-60 ml daily for study period	Drug: glyceryl trierucate Glyceryl trierucate is an oil to reduce very long chain fatty acids Other Names: Lorenzo's oil GTE Drug: glyceryl trioleate Patients receive 2-4 tablespoons of a mixture of glyceryl trierucate and glyceryl trioleate oil once daily. Other Names: Lorenzo's Oil GTO

Detailed Description:

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is an open label study. Patients must follow dietary instructions as provided by the investigator. Patients receive 2-4 tablespoons of a mixture of glyceryl trierucate and glyceryl trioleate oil once daily. Patients complete a neuropsychological scoring scale questionnaire to measure neurological disability. Patients undergo physical examinations including magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the head.

Patients are followed monthly for 6 months, then every 3 months until death.
