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.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.

2. Prescribed and treated with Carbaglu®
3. Have an established diagnosis of PA or MMA defined as follows:

   * Diagnosed with PA by semi quantitative urine organic acid analysis, defined as presence of elevated methylcitric acid and normal methylmalonic acid levels and no evidence of biotin related disorders in the organic acid analysis; OR
   * Diagnosed with MMA by semi quantitative urine organic acid analysis, defined as elevation of methylmalonic acid and no evidence of vitamin B12 dependent disorder on plasma amino acid analysis (vitamin B12 dependency is defined by documented vitamin B12 responsiveness).
