- Annualized LC-FAOD Major Clinical Events (MCEs) Rate: 18 Months Pre- and Entire UX007 Period Comparison for UX007-CL201-Rollover Cohort [ Time Frame: Pre-UX007 treatment period (up to 18 months) and post-UX007 treatment period (up to 2072 days) ]
The annualized LC-FAOD MCE rate, inclusive of skeletal myopathy (rhabdomyolysis), hepatic (hypoglycemia) and cardiomyopathy events, defined as any visit to the emergency room (ER)/acute care, hospitalization, emergency intervention (i.e. any unscheduled administration of therapeutics at home or in the clinic), or any similar event whether caused primarily by LC-FAOD or by an intercurrent illness complicated by LC-FAOD.
The annualized event rate was calculated at the number of events divided by the duration of data collection period in days/365.25
- Annualized LC-FAOD MCEs Rate: 18 Months Pre- and Entire UX007 Period Comparison for IST/Other Cohort and Triheptanoin-Naïve Cohort [ Time Frame: Pre-UX007 treatment period (up to 18 months) and post-UX007 treatment period (up to 2072 days) ]
The annualized LC-FAOD MCE rate, inclusive of skeletal myopathy (rhabdomyolysis), hepatic (hypoglycemia) and cardiomyopathy events, defined as any visit to the emergency room (ER)/acute care, hospitalization, emergency intervention (i.e. any unscheduled administration of therapeutics at home or in the clinic), or any similar event whether caused primarily by LC-FAOD or by an intercurrent illness complicated by LC-FAOD.
The annualized event rate was calculated at the number of events divided by the duration of data collection period in days/365.25
- Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) or Serious TEAEs [ Time Frame: Post-UX007 treatment through the end of treatment (up to 2072 days) plus 30-35 days ]An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence, whether or not considered drug related. A serious adverse event (SAE) results in any of the following outcomes: death; a life-threatening AE; inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant incapacity or disability; a congenital anomaly/birth defect; an important medical event. AEs were graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0 (mild=1, moderate=2, severe=3, life-threatening=4, death=5).
- Change From Baseline in Echocardiogram (ECHO) Parameters Over Time: Left Ventricular Mass Index (LVMI) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12, Month 24, Month 36, Month 48, Month 60 ]
- Change From Baseline in ECHO Parameters Over Time: Left Ventricular Mass (LVM) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12, Month 24, Month 36, Month 48, Month 60 ]
- Change From Baseline in ECHO Parameters Over Time: Left Ventricular Diameter (LVD) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12, Month 24, Month 36, Month 48, Month 60 ]
- Change From Baseline in ECHO Parameters Over Time: Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12, Month 18, Month 24, Month 30, Month 36, Month 48, Month 60 ]
- Change From Baseline in ECHO Parameters Over Time: LVEF Z-Score (Pediatric Participants) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12, Month 24, Month 36 ]
The Z-scores express the deviation (or how far away) the measure is from the mean LVEF based on the size or age of the pediatric participants:
Z-score=0 indicates the participant is exactly the same as the mean of the healthy general population.
Z-score=-1 indicates it's 1 standard deviation below the mean of the healthy population.
Z-score=+1 indicates it's 1 standard deviation above the mean.
- Change From Baseline in ECHO Parameters Over Time: Left Ventricular Shortening Fraction (LVSF) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12, Month 24, Month 30, Month 36, Month 48, Month 60 ]Fractional shortening is calculated by measuring the percentage change in left ventricular diameter during systole. A negative value indicates less ventricular/muscular contractility, and a positive value indicates more ventricular/muscular contractility.
- Change From Baseline in ECHO Parameters Over Time: LVSF Z-Score (Pediatric Participants) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12, Month 24, Month 36, Month 48, Month 60 ]
The Z-scores express the deviation (or how far away) the measure is from the mean LVSF based on the size or age of the pediatric participants:
Z-score=0 indicates the participant is exactly the same as the mean of the healthy general population.
Z-score=-1 indicates it's 1 standard deviation below the mean of the healthy population.
Z-score=+1 indicates it's 1 standard deviation above the mean.

The annualized duration rate is calculated as the total duration (days) of events divided by the duration of data collection period in days/365.25.
- Annualized Event Rate of Rhabdomyolysis MCEs [ Time Frame: Post-UX007 treatment through the end of the study (up to 2072 days) ]

- Pregnant and/or breastfeeding an infant at Screening or planning to become pregnant (self or partner) at any time during the study
- Have any co-morbid conditions, including unstable major organ-system disease(s) that in the opinion of the Investigator, places the subject at increased risk of complications, interferes with study participation or compliance, or confounds study objectives, or unwilling to discontinue prohibited medications
