Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is a genetic disorder that affects how the body uses food. Newborn screening aids early diagnosis, but even with prompt care affected individuals develop serious complications from different organs that can be life-threatening. Children with MMA may have periods of good health with recurrent episodes of severe illness. Liver transplants can help, but gene therapy could be an alternative treatment option.
Objective: To test gene therapy (MMA-101) for mut type MMA.
Eligibility:
People aged 3 to <18 years with mut type MMA.
Design:
Participants will be screened to see if they are eligible to participate in the study. They will have consultations with cardiology, nephrology, gastroenterology and genetics doctors. They will have ultrasounds. They will have a scan that measures bone density and tests that measure their heart function and their metabolism.
Participants will have a flexible tube called a catheter placed in a vein. It will remain in place during treatment. The tube will allow blood to be drawn and medications infused without repeated use of needles.
Participants will stay in the hospital 4 days for treatment. MMA-101 will be given as an infusion over 30 to 60 minutes. They will also have other drugs to help their body accept the MMA-101. Some may receive a drug called SEL-110 for this purpose. Participants receiving SEL-110 will have 3 total infusions of this drug, one before MMA-101 and 2 more, given a month apart. They will stay in the hospital for two days each time.
Participants will visit the clinic every other day for the first week, then twice a week , then weekly for 3 months for blood draws and other testing.
Follow-up visits will be at 6 months and then yearly for 5 years.
