Brief summary
This study is planning to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of medium-chain fatty acid capsules (food-grade CNT-02) in subjects with primary triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy (TGCV) and neutral lipid storage disease with myopathy (NLSD-M) associated with adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) genetic defects.
Interventions
Each subject will take 2.0g of the investigational product orally 3 times a day after every meal. Unless an apparent worsening of symptoms or unacceptable adverse event occurs, the subject will continue to take the investigational product for up to 6 months.
