Argininosuccinic Aciduria Market

• The Argininosuccinic Aciduria Market Size is anticipated to grow with a significant CAGR during the study period (2020-2034).
• The Argininosuccinic Aciduria market is anticipated to sustain a steady Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) during the forecast period (2025–2034). This growth in market revenue is primarily propelled by advancements in diagnostic techniques, heightened awareness of the condition, and a growing number of reported cases.
• Increased detection of Argininosuccinic Aciduria is driven by expanded newborn screening, and advances in genetic testing, enabling identification of both classic and milder forms.
• Treatment of Argininosuccinic Aciduria focuses on preventing hyperammonemia and managing long-term complications through dietary restrictions, arginine supplementation, and nitrogen-scavenging agents like RAVICTI (glycerol phenylbutyrate). Acute crises require intensive metabolic support, while liver transplant is an option for those not responding to conventional therapy.
• Amgen’s RAVICTI currently stands as the only approved therapy for Argininosuccinic Aciduria, reflecting both its clinical relevance and the lack of alternative treatment options—positioning it as a key player in an underpenetrated and evolving market.
• Argininosuccinic Aciduria remains difficult to manage, with current treatments often falling short in preventing hyperammonemia, liver damage, and neurocognitive decline. The high disease burden and limited efficacy of existing options highlight a clear need for targeted, disease-modifying therapies that go beyond metabolic control to improve long-term outcomes.

Argininosuccinic Aciduria Treatment Market

Argininosuccinic Aciduria Overview

Argininosuccinic Aciduria is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme argininosuccinate lyase (ASL), a key component of the urea cycle responsible for removing excess nitrogen from the body. Its deficiency impairs the conversion of ammonia—a toxic byproduct of protein breakdown—into urea, leading to dangerous hyperammonemia. This accumulation of ammonia can severely affect the central nervous system, particularly during periods of stress or illness when protein breakdown increases. While symptoms typically emerge in infancy, Argininosuccinic Aciduria may also cause issues beyond ammonia buildup due to the enzyme’s broader biological role.

Infants with Argininosuccinic Aciduria may show symptoms within the first few days of life, including poor feeding, vomiting, lethargy, floppiness, rapid breathing, dehydration, and seizures—often triggered by rising ammonia levels, which can become life-threatening if not managed promptly. In some cases, symptoms appear later and may include developmental delays, learning difficulties, and potential liver involvement. Managing Argininosuccinic Aciduria requires careful dietary balance: adequate protein is essential for growth, but excess intake or increased protein breakdown can raise ammonia levels and trigger metabolic crises.

Argininosuccinic Aciduria Diagnosis

Diagnosis of Argininosuccinic Aciduria is typically suspected in newborns presenting with unexplained vomiting, lethargy, or irritability alongside elevated ammonia levels. Biochemical testing often shows increased citrulline and elevated argininosuccinic acid in blood or urine, distinguishing Argininosuccinic Aciduria from other metabolic or urea cycle disorders. Confirmation is achieved through molecular genetic testing identifying mutations in the ASL gene. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical to prevent severe neurological complications.

Argininosuccinic Aciduria Treatment Algorithim

Treatment of Argininosuccinic Aciduria focuses on controlling ammonia levels through a multidisciplinary approach involving dietary management, supplementation, and alternative pathway therapies. A low-protein, high-calorie diet, supplemented with essential amino acids and arginine, helps limit nitrogen buildup while supporting growth. Arginine aids nitrogen excretion but must be carefully dosed, especially in patients with liver involvement.

During hyperammonemic crises, rapid intervention with nitrogen scavengers—such as sodium benzoate, sodium phenylbutyrate, or glycerol triphenylbutyrate—is critical. Long-term care often includes genetic counseling and supportive therapies for developmental delays. Despite optimal management, some patients may still experience neurocognitive and behavioral complications.

Key Findings

It was found that parents of children with Argininosuccinic Aciduria are carriers of the condition. Carriers do not have Argininosuccinic Aciduria themselves because the second gene in the pair functions normally. When both parents are carriers, each pregnancy carries the following risks: a 25% chance (1 in 4) that the baby will have Argininosuccinic Aciduria, a 50% chance (1 in 2) that the baby will be a carrier, and a 25% chance (1 in 4) that the baby will inherit two working genes and neither have Argininosuccinic Aciduria nor be a carrier.

• It was found that Argininosuccinic Aciduria affects approximately 1 in every 70,000 newborns in the US.
• The birth prevalence of Argininosuccinic Aciduria in Germany was found to be 1 in 292,000 newborns.
• In Italy, the birth prevalence of Argininosuccinic Aciduria was found to be 1 in 189,740 newborns.
• In Japan, the birth prevalence of Argininosuccinic Aciduria was found to be 1 in 1,121,000 newborns.
• The epidemiology of Argininosuccinic Aciduria is expected to change during the forecast period (2025-2034).

Argininosuccinic Aciduria Market Outlook

Argininosuccinic Aciduria therapeutics market is further expected to increase by the major drivers, such as the rising prevalent population, technological advancements, and upcoming therapies in the forecast period (2025–2034).

RAVICTI (glycerol phenylbutyrate): Amgen

RAVICTI is a nitrogen-binding agent used for the chronic management of urea cycle disorders (UCDs), a group of rare, inherited conditions caused by enzyme or transporter deficiencies required for converting ammonia into urea. These deficiencies lead to toxic accumulation of ammonia in the blood and brain. RAVICTI is a triglyceride composed of three molecules of phenylbutyric acid (PBA), which is metabolized into phenylacetic acid (PAA), the active component. PAA binds with glutamine, a nitrogen-rich amino acid, in the liver and kidneys to form phenylacetylglutamine (PAGN), which is excreted by the kidneys. PAGN, like urea, carries two nitrogen atoms and serves as an alternative pathway for nitrogen elimination.

• RAVICTI is indicated for patients with UCDs who are not adequately managed by dietary protein restriction and/or amino acid supplementation alone and should be used in combination with dietary restrictions and supplements when required.
