Brisbane Clinical Trials

The Level Study

The study drug is a potential new treatment for urea cycle disorders (UCD).

4 single-night stays + inpatient stay of 3 nights
1 visits

Study Objective:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a new treatment aimed at enhancing the conversion of ammonia to urea in patients with urea cycle disorders (UCD).

Understanding UCD:

  • UCDs are a collection of genetic anomalies that disrupt the normal conversion of ammonia into urea, resulting in elevated ammonia levels in the body, which can cause significant health complications.

Importance of Prevention:

  • Managing ammonia levels is crucial for individuals with UCD. Current strategies include dietary protein restriction and ammonia-lowering agents.
  • However, the development of additional treatments is essential for improved health outcomes.

Clinical Trial Details:

  • An independent ethics committee has approved this clinical trial.
  • Participants will be reimbursed for their time
