The main goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of triheptanoin versus Medium-chain Triglycerides (MCT) on frequency of Major Clinical Events (MCEs).
Participants will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive triheptanoin or MCT oil. The duration of the study is estimated to be 3.5 to 4 years. The study comprises the following: Screening Period, Baseline (Month 0), Double-blind Treatment Period (including Titration and End of Study Visit), Safety Follow-up Phone Visit, and an Open Access Period. In addition, a substudy will examine the effect of triheptanoin versus MCT on decreasing liver fat fraction to avoid or improve steatosis in subjects with LC-FAOD. Participants older than 2 years of age at selected sites will be invited to screen for the Liver Substudy.
