Clinical trials: Urea Cycle Disorder
Urea Cycle Disorder
Manipulating the Gut Microbiome Study
The objective is to determine if acetohydroxamic acid (AHA) can prevent hydrolysis of urea by inhibiting the bacterial urease of gut flora of both healthy control adults as well as adults with urea cycle disorders

Urea Cycle Disorders
PCORI Urea Cycle Disorder Study
Urea cycle disorders (UCD) are genetic disorders caused by the liver's inability to break down ammonia from proteins; ammonia then accumulates and is toxic to the brain.
- Trial name
- NCT02740153
- Testing
- No Intervention Given
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 187 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency
Investigation of Brain Nitrogen in Partial Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency (OTCD) Using 1 H MRS, DTI, and fMRI
The purpose of this study is to use various types of MRI and cognitive testing to evaluate changes in the brain and cognitive function that occur in subjects with ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) relative to healthy…

Urea Cycle Disorders, Inborn
Comparative Efficacy of Phenylbutyrate (PBA) vs. Benzoate in Urea Cycle Disorders
The investigators will study and compare how effectively sodium phenylbutyrate, sodium benzoate, and a combination of the two, help excrete nitrogen in healthy volunteers.
- Trial name

- Testing
- Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Phenylbutyrate
- Where
- United States

Neurologic Injuries in Adults With Urea Cycle Disorders
Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) are a group of rare inherited metabolism disorders. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how UCD-related neurologic injuries affect adults with one of the most common types of UCD.
