New hope for rare metabolic disorder: phase 3 drug trial targets toxic amino acid buildup

NCT ID NCT06247085

First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called pegtibatinase in 70 people aged 12 to 65 with classical homocystinuria, a rare genetic condition that causes dangerously high levels of the amino acid homocysteine. Participants receive weekly injections of the drug or a placebo for 24 weeks, alongside their usual care. The main goal is to see if pegtibatinase safely lowers homocysteine levels in the blood.
