Study population

Individuals of any age with confirmed diagnosis of isolated MMA due to MUT deficiency (mut0 or mut-) or isolated PA

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

MMA Only • Patient has a confirmed diagnosis of isolated MMA due to MUT deficiency (mut0 or mut-) based on the following criteria:

  • Elevated plasma/serum/DBS or urine methylmalonic acid levels
  • Presence of normal serum/plasma vitamin B12 and plasma homocysteine levels
  • Confirmed by molecular genetic testing. Genetic testing can be performed after the administration of if not available, however, molecular genetic results must be confirmed before the second study visit

PA Only

  • Patient has a confirmed diagnosis of isolated PA based on the following criteria:
  • Elevated plasma/DBS/urine 2-MC and/or 3-HP
  • Elevated plasma/serum/DBS propionylcarnitine (C3)
  • Confirmed by genetic testing for mutations of the PCCA or PCCB genes. Genetic testing can be performed after the administration of informed consent if not available, however, molecular genetic results must be confirmed before the second study visit

Both MMA and PA

  • Patient (and/or legally authorized representative as applicable to local regulations) is willing and able to comply with study-related assessments and activities
  • Patient or legally authorized representative is willing and able to provide informed consent and/or assent as mandated by local regulation

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Estimated \<30 mL/min/1.73m2 based on age appropriate equations or patients who undergo chronic dialysis
  • The patient is pregnant or lactating at the time of screening. (Note: Patients who become pregnant during the study may remain in the study) MMA Only
  • Patients diagnosed with isolated MMA cblA, cblB, or cblD enzymatic subtypes or methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase deficiency or combined MMA with homocystinuria PA Only
  • Patient has a confirmed diagnosis of multiple carboxylase deficiency
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
