Measure
Swich Over and Safety Extension
NaPBA was dosed three times daily (TID) with during the first week and the same PBA mole-equivalent dose of HPN-100 during the second week. If there were safety concerns regarding a single-step transition from NaPBA to HPN-100, at the investigator's discretion, the transition could occur in 2 steps such that in the second week, subjects might receive 50% of the PBA equivalent dose as NaPBA and 50% as HPN-100 before receiving 100% of Serial blood samples were collected for PK and blood ammonia assessments after each drug reached steady state, which was achieved approximately 4 days after initiation of 100% NaPBA or HPN100 treatment. After the switch over, participants entered the safety extension part of the study and continued receiving open-label HPN-100 for up to 12 months.
Safety Extension Only
Participants entered the safety extension part of the study only, and received open-label HPN-100 for up to 12 months.

change from baseline to Month 12. The SF 15 questionnaire consists of 15 questions that assess the following: * Physical functioning (5 questions) * Emotional functioning (4 questions) * Social functioning (3 questions) * School functioning (3 questions) Items were scored on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always) or a 3-point scale (0 \[not at all\], 2 \[sometimes\], or 4 \[a lot\] for the young child self-report). Items were reverse-scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, and 4=0. Total score was 0-100 scale (averaged from each functional areas). In the 0-100 scale, 0 is the worst score and 100 is best score. Improved quality of life was shown by increased total score from baseline to Month 12.
