About

Evaluate the safety and pharmacodynamics of multiple doses of ARCT-810 in adolescent and adult participants with OTC deficiency.

Full description

This a Phase 2a, open-label study of ARCT-810 in participants 12 years of age and older living with OTC deficiency. After a diet stabilization period of at least 4 weeks, all participants will be enrolled to receive ARCT-810 every two weeks, for up to five doses, at one of three dose levels. Clinic visits will occur during screening and at Days 1, 15, 29, 36, 43, 57, 60, 71, and 85. During the study, participants will remain on their current clinical management for OTC deficiency. Dose escalation or cohort expansion may occur following completion of three participants at each dose level.

Enrollment: 9 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 12+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

10. Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities on screening labs including INR >1.5, eGFR< 60 mL/min/1.73m2 or positive test results for HIV, HBV, or HCV.
11. Inadequately controlled diabetes.
12. Clinically significant anemia.
13. Changes in maintenance therapies for OTC deficiency with 28 days prior to dosing.
14. Medical history requiring continuous or intermittent systemic corticosteroid administration.
15. Receipt of inhibitors of urea synthesis or drugs that significantly affect renal clearance.
16. Recent treatment with another investigational drug, biological agent, or device.
