Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include individuals diagnosed with Methylmalonic Acidemia or Propionic Acidemia who are being treated with Carbaglu®.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are not diagnosed with MMA or PA or those not receiving Carbaglu® treatment may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to gather clinical safety information regarding the use of Carbaglu® in treating hyperammonemia caused by Methylmalonic Acidemia (MMA) and Propionic Acidemia (PA) in both pediatric and adult patients. Participants will receive treatment as per standard medical practice, and data will be collected on various outcomes, including treatment details, plasma ammonia levels, and any adverse effects. The study will focus on both short-term and long-term safety profiles of Carbaglu® in these patient populations.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the safety and efficacy of Carbaglu® for patients suffering from MMA and PA.
How similar studies have gone: While this study is observational, similar studies have shown promising results in understanding the safety profiles of treatments for metabolic disorders.
