Experimental therapy for rare metabolic disease shows early promise
NCT ID NCT05526066
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new medicine called ARCT-810 in 8 people aged 12 to 65 with ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, a rare genetic disorder that causes dangerous ammonia buildup. The main goal was to check the drug's safety and how the body processes it. The trial was stopped early, so results are limited.
