Brief Summary
Objective 1 (Primary): To determine the efficacy of acetazolamide in improving ataxia in patients with PMM2-CDG. Objective 2 (Secondary): To evaluate for any adverse events related to longer term acetazolamide administration. Objective 3 (Secondary): To examine the effect of acetazolamide on PMM2 biomarkers including carbohydrate deficient transferrin results, electrolytes (Na, K, Cl, CO2), VBG (pH, pCO2, PO2, CO2, Base excess), liver function tests (AST, ALT, GGT, indirect and direct bilirubin, total protein, albumin, alkaline phosphatase), kidney function tests (BUN, Creatinine, Urinalysis, urine calcium/creatinine ratio, urine protein/creatinine ratio), growth (height, weight, head circumference), vital signs (blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate), PROMIS scores, dysarthria using the PATA score, and NPCRS score. Objective 4 (Secondary): To explore characteristics of individuals with PMM2-CDG who do not respond to acetazolamide.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Efficacy of Acetazolamide on Ataxia Measured Via Miniature International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (Mini-ICARS)
To achieve this goal, we compared the change of Mini-ICARS score from baseline to after six months of treatment between the placebo and active treatment groups. Minimal score is 0, maximum score is 100, higher score indicates greater impairment. Each subscale has an ordinal scale with a 0 indicating normal and the higher score indicating greater impairment or that the patient was unable to complete the task.
baseline-6 months
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Abnormal Blood pH Value
through study completion, approximately 2 years
Electrolyte Balance Testing
through study completion, approximately 2 years
Urine Calcium Excretion Testing
through study completion, approximately 2 years
Examine Effect of Acetazolamide on PMM2 Biomarker Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin

Change in Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Score
baseline, 6 months
- +2 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Acetazolamide
EXPERIMENTALAcetazolamide administered via capsule or liquid suspension. Capsule would be 250 mg oral capsules encapsulated by gelatin capsule and filled with lactose to match placebo. Liquid suspension would be 25 mg/mL oral suspension but adding 125 mg Acetazolamide tablets to suspending agent Ora-blend
Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORPlacebo administered via capsule or liquid suspension. Capsule would be a gelatin capsule filled with lactose powder to match Acetazolamide. Liquid suspension would be Ora-blend.
