Key Takeaways from the Urea cycle disorders Pipeline Report
-
DelveInsight’s urea cycle disorders pipeline report highlights a dynamic landscape, with more than eight active companies developing over eight therapeutic candidates for the treatment of urea cycle disorders.
-
In May 2025, a landmark case involved a six-month-old infant with CPS1 deficiency, a type of urea cycle disorder, receiving a personalized CRISPR-based gene editing therapy. Developed by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the therapy corrected a specific liver cell mutation using CRISPR-Cas9 technology. The FDA approved the treatment within weeks, representing a major step forward in personalized medicine for rare genetic disorders.
-
In September 2024, the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to CMP-CPS-001, a candidate from CAMP4 Therapeutics for UCD treatment. This designation aims to accelerate the development of therapies for rare diseases by offering incentives such as tax credits and market exclusivity upon approval.
-
Leading companies in the urea cycle disorders space—including Acer Therapeutics, Dimension Therapeutics, Callitas Therapeutics, Poseida Therapeutics, Promethera Biosciences, Arcturus Therapeutics, Kaleido Biosciences, Akaza Biopharma, Evox Therapeutics, Dipharma SA, Sana Biotechnology, Aeglea BioTherapeutics, ERYTECH, and others—are actively developing new therapies to enhance the treatment landscape. Promising pipeline candidates include ACER-001, Avalotcagene ontaparvovec, and several others at various stages of development.
Urea cycle disorders Overview:
Urea Cycle Disorder (UCD) is a hereditary condition. When we eat protein, the body breaks it down into amino acids, which are vital for growth and overall health. Excess amino acids are normally converted into ammonia, a waste product, which the liver enzymes then process into urea for elimination through urine. In people with UCD, the required enzyme is absent or malfunctioning, causing ammonia to build up in the bloodstream. This accumulation can be toxic and affect the brain, resulting in symptoms such as memory loss, behavioral changes, seizures, coma, or permanent brain damage. UCD affects roughly 1 in 35,000 births in the U.S. While rare, there are resources and support available for individuals with UCD and their families.

Urea cycle disorders Emerging Drugs
ACER-001: Acer Therapeutics
ACER-001 is a powdered formulation of sodium phenylbutyrate (NaPB) designed to mask its taste while providing immediate release. Using a microencapsulation process, ACER-001 is being developed to treat inherited metabolic disorders such as urea cycle disorders (UCDs) and Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD). Each microparticle consists of a core, an active drug layer, and a taste-masking coating that dissolves quickly in the stomach, neutralizing the taste while enabling rapid absorption into the bloodstream. The therapy is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials for UCDs.
Avalotcagene ontaparvovec: Dimension Therapeutics
Avalotcagene ontaparvovec is a replacement therapy targeting Ornithine carbamoyltransferase, developed by Dimension Therapeutics for the treatment of inherited urea cycle disorders. The therapy is currently undergoing Phase 2 clinical trials.
