Dialysis-focused treatment study for newborn high ammonia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks at how to best treat newborns with very high ammonia in the blood when urgent dialysis is needed. It may help doctors choose the most effective way to rapidly lower ammonia and improve outcomes in babies with certain inherited metabolic conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be under 1 year old
- Your baby must have severe, sudden (acute) high ammonia levels
- Doctors must decide that urgent blood-washing (hemodialysis) is needed right away
- The cause must be an inherited metabolic condition (inborn error of metabolism)
- You cannot enroll if the baby is older than 1 year

This trial tests if a higher intensity of continuous dialysis (CRRT) better lowers ammonia levels in patients with liver failure. It aims to find the best approach to reduce brain complications from high ammonia.
This trial tests a device for measuring ammonia levels at home in people with rare metabolic conditions that cause high ammonia. It aims to make monitoring easier and more convenient for patients.
This trial tests a new medicine called LNP.UCD.ABE that aims to fix a specific genetic change causing a severe urea cycle disorder. It uses a technique called base editing to correct the gene mutation, which may help your body break down ammonia better.
This trial studies blood and other measurable signs (biomarkers) that may reflect brain injury after certain inherited metabolic conditions. Results may help doctors better detect and understand brain effects from these illnesses, especially episodes that affect the brain.
This study uses EEG (a test that records brain activity) to help doctors quickly identify brain injury in newborns who had a difficult birth. If successful, it could lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
This study offers fast genetic testing for newborns who have abnormal screening results, weak muscle tone, seizures, unusual lab results, or bone or joint problems. The goal is to find genetic causes quickly so doctors can provide better care sooner.
