RECRUITING
An Open-label Study to Investigate ECUR-506 in Male Babies Less Than 9 Months of Age With Neonatal Onset OTC Deficiency
Lead Sponsor:
iECURE, Inc.
Conditions:
Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency
Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency Disease
Eligibility:
MALE
24-7 years
Phase:
PHASE1
PHASE2
Brief Summary
Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, the most common urea cycle disorder, is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by a genetic defect in a liver enzyme responsible for detoxifying of ammonia...
Detailed Description
The study drug, ECUR-506, is an investigational gene editing therapy. Gene editing is an approach used to repair, replace, or introduce functional copies of genes that are not working properly. ECUR-5...
Eligibility Criteria

- Severe neonatal OTCD defined by hyperammonemic crisis with elevated ammonia level of >560 μmol/L and clinical symptoms within first week of life, and currently receiving treatment with both dietary protein restriction and nitrogen scavenger therapy.
- Current or historical biochemical profile consistent with OTCD
- Participant's parent(s)/LAR must be able to comprehend and be willing to provide a signed IRB/IEC-approved ICF.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Neonatal diagnosis of severe to profound Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy due to birth injury
- Requiring urgent liver transplant due to liver failure as assessed by the PI.
- Contiguous gene deletion involving the OTC gene and including at least the CYBB gene on the telomeric side or the TSPAN7 gene on the centromeric side.
- Known or suspected major organ injury/dysfunction/anomalies.
- Vital sign and laboratory abnormalities outside of reference ranges.
- Treatment with any other gene therapy or gene editing therapy
- Co-enrollment in any other study unless approved by the sponsor.
- Any condition, that in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise the safety of the participant or study data
- Documented vertical transmission of HepA/HepB/HepC
- Documented in-utero teratogen, substance, and/or alcohol exposure, which in the opinion of the Investigator may increase the participant's risk of developmental delays, congenital anomalies, and/or significant medical complications
