* Suspected or confirmed UCD diagnosis of any subtype, except NAGS deficiency
* On stable dose of NaPBA powder for at least 5 days before Day 1
* Not receiving sodium benzoate for at least 5 days before Day 1
* No concomitant illness which would preclude safe participation as judged by the investigator
* Able to receive medication orally
* Has not undergone liver transplantation, including hepatocellular transplantation
* Judged sufficiently stable and compliant with diet and treatment to be suitable for enrollment
Exclusion Criteria:
* Screening ammonia level \> 100 μmol/L and signs and symptoms indicative of hyperammonemia; subjects may be rescreened after their ammonia is controlled and they are clinically stable, at the discretion of the investigator
* Use of any investigational drug within 30 days of Day 1
* Active infection (viral or bacterial) or any other condition that may increase ammonia levels
* Any clinical or laboratory abnormality of Grade 3 or greater severity according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03, except Grade 3 elevations in ammonia and liver enzymes, defined as levels 5-20 times ULN (upper limit of normal)in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspar…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
