Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, the most common urea cycle disorder, is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by a genetic defect in a liver enzyme responsible for detoxification of ammonia. Individuals with OTC deficiency can build-up excess levels of ammonia in their blood, potentially resulting in devastating consequences, including cumulative and irreversible neurological damage, coma and death. The severe form of the condition emerges shortly after birth and is more common in boys than girls. This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter, safety and dose finding study of ECUR-506 in male babies with neonatal onset OTC deficiency. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple dose levels of ECUR-506 following intravenous (IV) administration of a single dose.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether participants must stop taking their current medications. Please consult with the study team for guidance.

Inclusion Criteria

My parent or legal guardian can understand and is willing to sign the consent form.

Key

I had a severe ammonia increase in my first week of life.

Treatment Details

Interventions

• ECUR-506 (Enzyme Replacement Therapy)

Trial Overview The study tests ECUR-506's safety and tolerability on baby boys with neonatal onset OTC deficiency. It's an early-stage trial (Phase 1/2) where participants receive one dose of the drug intravenously to see how they react to different dose levels.

Participant Groups

Group I: Cohort 2 Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Participants will receive a higher dose of ECUR-506 delivered one time via IV infusion.

Group II: Cohort 1 Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Participants will receive the Low Dose of ECUR-506 delivered one time via IV Infusion.

Group III: Additional Cohorts Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Additional Cohorts based on recommendations of DMC review of safety and efficacy data.
