Fucose supplement trial for GLUT1 deficiency
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking fucose (a type of sugar) can help people with GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects how the brain gets energy. If you have ataxia (trouble with balance or coordination) and meet other criteria, this study may be an option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of GLUT1 deficiency syndrome (with genetic testing, low spinal fluid sugar, or related symptoms).
- You have ataxia (balance or coordination problems).
- You can swallow liquids safely.
- You haven't changed seizure or movement medications in the last 90 days.
- You haven't taken fucose or mannose supplements in the past year and are not pregnant or planning pregnancy.

This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding D-galactose can help people with a confirmed SLC35A2 genetic condition. It aims to improve symptoms such as seizures and ongoing stomach problems like vomiting or diarrhea.
This study tests a food supplement that could help people with higher than normal blood sugar, but not yet diabetes. The goal is to see if it can improve blood sugar levels and insulin resistance.
This trial tests different diet strategies to help adults with GSDI (a metabolic condition also known as von Gierke disease) maintain stable blood sugars and avoid dangerous drops. It may help you learn how to better manage your condition through diet.
This trial tests how a high-fructose diet affects your gut bacteria and overall metabolic health. It is for people who already know they don't absorb fructose well (fructose malabsorbers) and want to understand how this sugar impacts their body.
This study looks at how the body handles sugar in people with cystic fibrosis related diabetes. Researchers want to learn more about glucose metabolism to improve care for people with CFRD.
This study uses MRI brain scans at different strengths to measure how the brain uses energy (metabolism) in health and in people with genetically confirmed G1D. It may help researchers understand brain energy changes related to metabolic disease and diabetes.
