Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age 6 months (inclusive) to \< 18 years at the time of first investigational product administration; both sexes eligible.
- Confirmed diagnosis of cobalamin C (cbl C)-type methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) fulfilling ALL of the following:
- Documented vitamin B12 responsiveness: ≥ 50 % reduction from pre-treatment baseline in plasma C3/C2 ratio and urinary methylmalonic acid following vitamin B12 therapy.
- Presence of pathogenic MMACHC gene variants in a participant with MMA associated with hyperhomocysteinemia.
- Investigator-assessed clinical stability, defined as:
- No emergency room visits or hospitalizations within 6 months prior to screening for metabolic crises (e.g., electrolyte disturbances, metabolic acidosis, dysglycaemia, multi-organ failure); AND
- Plasma methylmalonic acid within the normal reference range at screening.
- Continuous treatment with injectable hydroxocobalamin for ≥ 3 months immediately preceding first dose of study drug.
- Written informed consent obtained from participant and/or legally authorised representative; willingness and ability to comply with all study visits and procedures.
- Female participants of childbearing potential (post-menarche) must have a negative serum β-hCG test at screening. All participants of reproductive potential (post-menarche females or males with documented spermarche) must use a highly effective contraceptive method throughout the study and for an appropriate post-study period as defined by local regulations.
You may not qualify if:
- Use of any vitamin B12 preparation other than injectable hydroxocobalamin within 3 months prior to screening.
- Participation in another clinical trial within 28 days or 5 half-lives of the investigational agent (whichever is longer) before screening initiation, except for screening-only participants who did not receive study drug.
- Prior liver or kidney transplantation, or any prior cell-based therapy.
- Any of the following laboratory abnormalities:
- Hemoglobin \< 90 g/L; or
- Platelet count \< 100 × 10⁹/L; or
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 60 mL/min/1.73 m²; or
- Requirement for dialysis due to renal disease.
- Evidence of clinically significant hepatic dysfunction defined as:
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \> 2.0 × upper limit of normal (ULN);
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \> 2.0 × ULN or total bilirubin \> 1.5 × ULN;
- Prothrombin time \> 1.5 × ULN.
- Hyperammonemia characterised by blood ammonia ≥ 3 × ULN, or any acute metabolic decompensation (e.g., lethargy, restlessness, somnolence, feeding refusal, or vomiting).
- Evidence on prior imaging of a space-occupying lesion suspicious for malignancy, or any known history of malignancy.
- New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure, or moderate-to-severe pulmonary hypertension.
