Official Title

Taste and Palatability of Orfadin Suspension. An Open, Non-controlled 3 Day Study in Pediatric Patients With Hereditary Tyrosinemia Type 1 Treated With Orfadin.

Brief Summary

      The purpose of this study is to verify that pediatric patients, especially those who are not
      old enough to swallow capsules, accept the taste and palatability of a new suspension.

Detailed Description

      This is an open, non-randomized, non-controlled, multiple-dose study in 18 pediatric
      patients. The treatment period is three days, and during the study the subjects will rate the
      taste and palatability of the suspension or (for younger children) their parents will rate
      the child´s acceptance of the suspension.

      The study consists of a screening period, a 3 day treatment period and a 1 week follow-up
      period.
