Brief Summary
This is a prospective mixed-design study focused on the long-term management of propionic aciduria (PA) and methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) with N-carbamylglutamate (NCG) maintenance therapy. Treatment characteristics, clinical outcomes, and healthcare utilization data of patients diagnosed PA or MMA treated \>6 months therapy with NCG are collected at baseline, 12 months, 18 months, 36 months and 54 months. Qualitative interviews with adult patients and caregivers are conducted \>6 months after study enrollment to gain a better understanding of the disease burden and the treatment burden of patients and their families.

Eligibility Criteria
Patients diagnosed with organic acideamia that have been on treatment with CARBAGLU® for a minimum of six months for the long-term management of their disease. This prospective observational study population will include up to 95 diagnosed MMA or PA patients with current carglumic acid treatment experience from 6 European countries: Sweden, the United Kingdom (UK), the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Italy, Spain and France. The patients (or caregivers) included in this prospective observational study will also be invited to participate in a one-on-one phone interview.
You may qualify if:
- Patient has confirmed diagnosis of an organic acidemia (e.g., MMA or PA)
- Patient initiated treatment with carglumic acid for long-term management of MMA or PA
- Patient has been treated with carglumic acid for a minimum of 6 months
- Patient (or caregiver) is able to comply with all prospective study procedures
- Patient (or caregiver) is able to provide informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- None
