Study Summary

The overall objective of this drug trial is to determine whether the treatment of acute hyperammonemia with N-carbamyl-L-glutamate (NCG, Carglumic acid) in propionic acidemia (PA), methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), late-onset CPS1 deficiency (CPSD) and late-onset Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) accelerates the resolution of hyperammonemia efficiently and safely. The primary goal is to determine if the study drug (NCG) efficiently reduces ammonia levels following a hyperammonemia episode(s). Secondly, the investigators want to know if treatment with this study drug (NCG) efficiently improves neurologic function, reduces plasma glutamine levels and lessens the duration of hospitalization after each episode of hyperammonemia.

Primary Outcome

The composite primary intention to treat (ITT) outcome of the earlier of time to reach an ammonia level of ≤50 µmol/L or hospital discharge. Data presented as a hazard ratio based on the time to reach an ammonia level of ≤50 µmol/L. The outcome measure was a survival analysis based on time to reach the earlier of an ammonia level of ≤50 µmol/L or time to discharge, which was considered to be a point where the patient was no longer at risk of neurological injury from ammonia. The outcome of survi
