KRRO-121 for hyperammonemia in urea cycle disorders: a first-in-human study
This study tests KRRO-121, a treatment designed to help clear ammonia, in adults with urea cycle disorders and in healthy volunteers to see if it is safe and how it acts in the body.
-
LNP.UCD.ABE for severe urea cycle disorders in young children
This trial tests a single IV dose of LNP.UCD.ABE in five young children with severe urea cycle disorders to see if it is safe and may help reduce ammonia buildup.
-
Home Ammonia Monitoring for People with Metabolic Ammonia Disorders
This study tests whether people with certain ammonia metabolism disorders can successfully measure their ammonia levels at home every day.
-
Glycerol phenylbutyrate for Chinese children and teens with urea cycle disorders
This project will try glycerol phenylbutyrate in children and teens in China who have urea cycle disorders to see if it lowers ammonia and reduces hyperammonemic crises over five years.
-
Analyzing urea production in healthy individuals and patients with urea cycle disorders
This study is testing how well the body makes urea in healthy people and those with urea cycle disorders to better understand these conditions and improve treatments.
