Detailed Description:

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This a dose escalation study to estimate the maximum tolerated dose of recombinant adenovirus encoded with the ornithine transcarbamylase gene.

Patients receive a single dose of virus infused into the liver under fluoroscopic guidance. Groups of 3 patients receive successively higher doses of virus; each cohort is observed for safety for 3 weeks before entry of the next group.

Patients are followed weekly for 1 month, then every 3 months until stable.

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years to 65 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:	Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

PROTOCOL ENTRY CRITERIA:

--Disease Characteristics-- Confirmed partial ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency Asymptomatic, i.e., at least 1 month since hyperammonemia --Prior/Concurrent Therapy-- Not specified --Patient Characteristics-- No pregnant or nursing women Negative pregnancy test required of fertile women
