Comparator
Placebo arm: single peripheral intravenous infusion of Normal Saline (placebo); matching prednisolone placebo hard capsule and tablet provided for blinding as described in protocol.
Adaptive
True, Before Visit 15 an independent unblinded statistician will review preliminary primary efficacy results and the DMC may confirm that patients in the Placebo arm receive DTX301 (crossover). This interim unblinded review/crossover is the adaptive element described.

Eligibility

Recruits 22 paediatric patients.

Pregnancy Exclusion
14. Pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant within 64 weeks after receiving DTX301 (ie, through Visit 28 of this study).
Vulnerable Population
Minors are included (patients 12 years and older). If a minor, the subject should provide assent if possible and a legally authorized representative must provide informed consent; caregivers must be willing and able to assist with study requirements. The protocol also excludes patients considered vulnerable by local regulations (e.g., imprisoned or institutionalized). Age-specific assent and parental/guardian consent forms are provided.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- 1. Male or female patient 12 years of age or older at the time of signed informed consent.\n- 10. From the time written informed consent is provided through Week 28, females of childbearing potential and fertile males must consent to use highly effective contraception as defined by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Clinical Trial Facilitation Coordination Group (CTFG) Recommendations Related to Contraception and Pregnancy in Clinical Trials. If female, agree not to become pregnant. If male, agree to not father a child or donate sperm.\n- 2. Provide informed consent after the nature of the study has been explained, and prior to any research-related procedures. If a minor, be willing and able (if possible) to provide assent and have a legally authorized representative provide informed consent after the nature of the study has been explained and prior to any research-related procedures.\n- 3. Confirmed clinical diagnosis of late-onset OTC deficiency with historical documentation by enzymatic (ie, liver biopsy), biochemical (ie, hyperammonemia in the presence of elevated plasma glutamine, low citrulline, and elevated spot urine orotic acid), or molecular testing (ie, OTC analysis).\n- 4. Documented history of ≥ 1 symptomatic hyperammonemia episode with ammonia level ≥ 100 μmol/L for confirmation of clinical disease.\n- 5. Patient is currently receiving ammonia scavenger therapy and/or protein-restricted diet, is free from symptomatic hyperammonemia, and has not required emergent active intervention for hyperammonemia within 4 weeks before screening/baseline.\n- 6. Plasma 24-hour ammonia (AUC0-24) is ≤ 4800 μmol*h/L at screening. If the ammonia AUC0-24 is inconsistent with the patient’s clinical status, the assessment may be repeated to ensure accurate results.\n- 7. If on ongoing daily ammonia scavenger therapy, must be at stable daily dose(s) for ≥ 4 weeks prior to screening\n- 8. If on a protein-restricted diet, must be on a stable protein-restricted diet as evidenced by a stable amount of total protein intake (ie, daily protein intake in grams per day does not vary more than 20%) for ≥ 4 weeks prior to screening.\n- 9.
