Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Age 6 months (inclusive) to < 18 years at the time of first investigational product administration; both sexes eligible.

2. Confirmed diagnosis of cobalamin C (cbl C)-type methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) fulfilling ALL of the following:

1. Documented vitamin B12 responsiveness: ≥ 50 % reduction from pre-treatment baseline in plasma C3/C2 ratio and urinary methylmalonic acid following vitamin B12 therapy.

2. Presence of pathogenic MMACHC gene variants in a participant with MMA associated with hyperhomocysteinemia.

3. Investigator-assessed clinical stability, defined as:

• No emergency room visits or hospitalizations within 6 months prior to screening for metabolic crises (e.g., electrolyte disturbances, metabolic acidosis, dysglycaemia, multi-organ failure); AND
• Plasma methylmalonic acid within the normal reference range at screening.

4. Continuous treatment with injectable hydroxocobalamin for ≥ 3 months immediately preceding first dose of study drug.

5. Written informed consent obtained from participant and/or legally authorised representative; willingness and ability to comply with all study visits and procedures.

6. Female participants of childbearing potential (post-menarche) must have a negative serum β-hCG test at screening. All participants of reproductive potential (post-menarche females or males with documented spermarche) must use a highly effective contraceptive method throughout the study and for an appropriate post-study period as defined by local regulations.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Use of any vitamin B12 preparation other than injectable hydroxocobalamin within 3 months prior to screening.

2. Participation in another clinical trial within 28 days or 5 half-lives of the investigational agent (whichever is longer) before screening initiation, except for screening-only participants who did not receive study drug.

3. Prior liver or kidney transplantation, or any prior cell-based therapy.

4. Any of the following laboratory abnormalities:

• Hemoglobin < 90 g/L; or
• Platelet count < 100 × 10⁹/L; or
• Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m²; or
• Requirement for dialysis due to renal disease.

5. Evidence of clinically significant hepatic dysfunction defined as:

1. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 2.0 × upper limit of normal (ULN);

2. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 2.0 × ULN or total bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN;

3. Prothrombin time > 1.5 × ULN.

6. Hyperammonemia characterised by blood ammonia ≥ 3 × ULN, or any acute metabolic decompensation (e.g., lethargy, restlessness, somnolence, feeding refusal, or vomiting).

7. Evidence on prior imaging of a space-occupying lesion suspicious for malignancy, or any known history of malignancy.

8. New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure, or moderate-to-severe pulmonary hypertension.

9. Clinically significant urolithiasis identified on imaging performed during screening.

10. Presence of any of the following underlying conditions: immunodeficiency, severe malnutrition, congenital heart disease, congenital malformations of the respiratory system, or any clinically significant cardiac, hepatic, pulmonary, or renal disorder; diabetes mellitus; severe hematological disease; uncontrolled epilepsy or other significant central nervous system disorders.

11. History of severe hypersensitivity or known hypersensitivity/intolerance to hydroxocobalamin, structurally related compounds, or any excipients in the investigational product.

12. Any other condition or circumstance that, in the judgment of the investigator, would compromise participant safety, compliance, or data integrity.
