Urea cycle disorder

This study tests a new type of stem cell transplant for children with primary immune deficiencies or inherited metabolic disorders. The transplant uses stem cells from a half-matched family donor, which are specially processed to remove certain immune cells. The goal is to see if…

This study tests a bone marrow transplant from a family donor for children under 21 with severe non-cancer blood disorders like sickle cell disease, bone marrow failure, or immune problems. The goal is to see if the transplant can replace the diseased cells with healthy donor cel…

This study is testing a drug called glycerol phenylbutyrate in 40 Chinese children with urea cycle disorders, a rare genetic condition that causes dangerous ammonia buildup. The drug aims to help control ammonia levels over 5 years. Researchers will monitor safety and effectivene…

This study tests a one-time gene therapy called ECUR-506 in baby boys under 9 months old with a severe form of OTC deficiency, a genetic disorder that prevents the body from breaking down ammonia. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can reduce dangerous ammonia levels…

This early-phase trial tests whether a patient's own immune cells, engineered to target BCMA and/or CD19, can calm severe ulcerative colitis that hasn't responded to other treatments. Twelve adults with moderate-to-severe active disease will receive a single infusion of these CAR…

This program offers extra stem cells from a half-matched family donor to patients who are getting a cord blood transplant for serious blood cancers or immune disorders. The goal is to help the bone marrow recover more quickly while the cord blood cells take over permanently. It i…

This study is testing a new way to measure how well the urea cycle works in healthy people and in patients with urea cycle disorders (UCDs). Participants receive a safe, non-radioactive tracer, and blood samples are taken over a few hours. The goal is to develop a better tool for…

This study aims to better understand and treat people with certain inherited metabolic or genetic disorders. Researchers will use standard medical tests like blood work and imaging to diagnose and care for participants, who may also join other related studies. The goal is to expa…

This study looks at children with suspected or confirmed genetic and metabolic disorders to find new disease-causing gene mutations. Researchers will analyze blood samples for DNA and metabolites, and in some cases take a small skin sample. The goal is to better understand these …

This study at Necker Hospital in Paris is checking how well patients with inherited metabolic diseases follow their daily oral medication routines. About 200 patients (children aged 7 and up, teens, and adults) will fill out a questionnaire during a regular visit. The goal is to …

This study enrolls up to 15,000 children with known or suspected endocrine or metabolic disorders, along with their family members. Researchers will collect medical records, blood, saliva, and other samples to identify genetic changes linked to these conditions. The goal is to be…

This study is creating a large collection of blood, urine, stool, and heart tissue samples from 10,000 people with and without heart or metabolic conditions. The goal is to store these samples along with medical information to speed up future research into what causes these disea…

This study tests a new communication tool called 'Let's Get REAL' that helps children and teens (ages 8-17) and their families talk together about stem cell transplant or cellular therapy decisions. The goal is to see if the tool is easy to use and helpful for families. About 60 …

This study looks at whether people with certain rare metabolic disorders that cause high ammonia levels will measure their ammonia at home every day. About 30 participants will use a special device to check their ammonia, along with temperature, heart rate, and blood oxygen. They…

This study uses a quick, painless eye scan (OCT) to see if blood vessels in the eye look different in people with high blood pressure or chronic kidney disease compared to healthy people. Researchers want to learn if these differences improve with treatment. About 150 adults aged…

This study looks at the safety of a special blood test system used to measure arginine levels in people with ARG1 deficiency who are taking the drug Loargys. The test system includes special blood collection tubes that stop the drug from breaking down arginine after the sample is…

This study uses MRI scans to look for brain differences in people with metabolic diseases compared to healthy volunteers. Researchers will track changes over time and link them to body fat and other health measures. About 126 adults will take part at Ulm University Hospital. No d…

This study looks at how often young children (ages 1 to 6) with inherited metabolic diseases develop eating disorders when they are on special diets. Researchers will use a feeding scale to measure eating problems in 200 children. The goal is to understand the link between these …

The SMILE study is tracking 10,000 adults aged 18 and older to see how sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) and metabolic diseases like diabetes influence overall health and lifespan. Researchers will collect data from medical records, tests, and surveys over time. This is an obs…

This study follows 100 children under 18 who are already on a ketogenic diet for conditions like drug-resistant epilepsy, autism, chronic migraine, or brain tumors. Researchers want to see if the diet supports healthy growth, improves symptoms, and boosts quality of life. The die…
