Argininosuccinic aciduria Understanding

Argininosuccinic aciduria (ASA): Overview

Argininosuccinic aciduria is an inherited disorder that causes ammonia to accumulate in the blood. Ammonia, which is formed when proteins are broken down in the body, is toxic if the levels become too high. The nervous system is especially sensitive to the effects of excess ammonia. Argininosuccinic aciduria usually becomes evident in the first few days of life. An infant with argininosuccinic aciduria may be lacking in energy (lethargic) or unwilling to eat, and have a poorly controlled breathing rate or body temperature. Some babies with this disorder experience seizures or unusual body movements, or go into a coma. Complications from argininosuccinic aciduria may include developmental delay and intellectual disability. Progressive liver damage, high blood pressure (hypertension), skin lesions, and brittle hair may also be seen.

Symptoms

The severity and specific symptoms of argininosuccinic aciduria varies from one person to another. A severe form of the disorder, which is characterized by a complete or near complete lack of the ASL enzyme, occurs shortly after birth (neonatal period). A milder form of the disorder, which is characterized by partial lack of the ASL enzyme, affects some individuals later during infancy or childhood or even adulthood (late-onset form). Affected infants may also experience seizures, breathing (respiratory) abnormalities, the accumulation of fluid in the brain (cerebral edema), and an abnormally large liver (hepatomegaly). Less commonly, some individuals develop progressive liver disease and dysfunction such as the buildup of scar tissue (fibrosis) and cirrhosis. In rare instances, chronic kidney (renal) disease has been reported.

Diagnosis

A diagnosis of a urea cycle disorder, such as argininosuccinic aciduria, should be considered in any newborn that has an undiagnosed illness characterized by vomiting, progressive lethargy, and irritability. A diagnosis of argininosuccinic aciduria can be made through a detailed patient/family history, identification of characteristic findings, and a variety of specialized tests. Blood tests may reveal excessive amounts of ammonia in the blood, which is the main criterion for a diagnosis of urea cycles disorders including argininosuccinic aciduria.

Treatment

The treatment of argininosuccinic aciduria is aimed at preventing excessive ammonia from being formed or from removing excessive ammonia during a hyperammonemic episode. Long-term therapy combines dietary restrictions and the stimulation of alternative methods of converting and excreting nitrogen from the body (alternative pathways therapy). Dietary restrictions in individuals with argininosuccinic aciduria are aimed at limiting the amount of protein intake to avoid the development of excess ammonia.
  • In 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Ravicti (glycerol phenylbutyrate) for the chronic management of urea cycle disorders including argininosuccinic aciduria in affected individuals age 2 years and older.
Argininosuccinic aciduria Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Argininosuccinic aciduria report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Argininosuccinic aciduria Emerging Drugs
  • Evox’s exosome-based therapy: Evox Therapeutics Ltd.
Evox is engineering exosomes, the body’s natural vesicular delivery system, to enable a wide variety of drugs to reach previously inaccessible tissues and compartments, such as crossing the blood-brain barrier to deliver drugs to the central nervous system, enabling intracellular delivery of biologics, and allowing for extra-hepatic delivery of RNA therapeutics. UCL has world-leading expertise in urea cycle disorders and will perform testing of Evox’s exosome-based therapy in an in vivo ASL deficiency model.

Further product details are provided in the report.
