The Metabolic Dietary Disorders Association (MDDA), along with patients and clinicians, are profoundly disappointed by Moderna’s sudden decision to withdraw the Australian clinical trial for Methylmalonic Acidemia (MMA) and are calling for Moderna to urgently reinstate the trial.

This mRNA therapy trial offered hope to families who previously had no treatment options.
