New mRNA therapy aims to control rare metabolic disease Long-Term
NCT ID NCT05295433
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing the long-term safety of an mRNA therapy called mRNA-3705 in people with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), a rare genetic disorder that prevents the body from breaking down certain proteins and fats. Participants have already been in earlier studies of this drug. The goal is to see if the treatment remains safe and helps control the disease over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mRNA-3705 (a messenger RNA therapy that helps produce a missing enzyme)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that mRNA-3705 is safe for long-term use and helps manage methylmalonic acidemia, potentially reducing metabolic crises.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase extension study with only 56 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Long-term safety and effectiveness are still uncertain.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Completed the assigned dose regimen treatment time period in other clinical studies of mRNA-3705 or is eligible for early transition to this study because they missed more than 3 consecutive doses of study drug due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination during Study mRNA-3705-P101 Part 1. * Completed the End of treatment (EOT) Visit (or End of Study Visit in the case of unscheduled dosing) in Study mRNA-3705-P101 within 10 days of their first dose of mRNA-3705 in this extension study. Exclusion Criteria: * Not expected to receive clinical benefit from continued mRNA-3705 administration, in the opinion of the Investigator. * Any clinical or laboratory abnormality or medical condition that, at the discretion of the Investigator, may put the individual at increased risk by participating in this study. * History of liver and/or kidney transplant. NOTE: Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.
