NCT04860960

Brief Summary

A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-center therapeutic study for patients age 3 and older with confirmed diagnosis of Niemann Pick disease type C1 (NPC1). The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of 2000 mg/kg dose of Trappsol Cyclo (hydroxypropyl betacyclodextrin) administered intravenously compared to standard of care. An open-label sub-study in countries following European Medicines Agency (EMA) guidance will enroll asymptomatic or symptomatic patients from infancy up to age 3 to evaluate safety in that population.

EXPERIMENTAL

Intravenous administration of 2000 mg/kg hydroxypropyl betacyclodextrin (Trappsol Cyclo) (based on body weight) diluted with 0.5N saline over at least 6.5 hours every 2 weeks

Drug: Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin

Placebo comparator

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Intravenous administration of 0.5N saline over at least 6.5 hours every 2 weeks

Drug: Placebo

Open Label sub-study for Infants up to age 3

EXPERIMENTAL

Up to 12 patients age 0 - 3 yrs in countries following EMA guidance may be enrolled in this open label sub-study.

Eligibility Criteria

Age3 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo

You may qualify if:

  • Confirmed diagnosis of NPC1
  • Annual Severity Increment Score between 0.5 and 2.0 using the 17-domain NPC Severity Scale
  • Treated or Not Treated with Miglustat (patients must be on a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to the Screening Visit, or have discontinued Miglustat for at least 3 months prior to Screening Visit).
  • Body weight greater than 4.5 kg and less than or equal to 125 kg
  • Presenting at least 1 neurological symptom of the disease
  • Written informed consent
  • Willing and capable to participate in all aspects of trial design
  • Ability to travel to the trial site at scheduled times
  • Contraception requirements per protocol
  • Caregiver consent as appropriate to participate in all protocol-specified assessments for duration of trial

You may not qualify if:

  • Recipient of a liver transplant within \<12 months or planned liver transplantation
  • Patients with active liver disease from any cause other than NPC1
  • Clinical evidence of acute liver disease including symptoms of jaundice or right upper quadrant pain or international normalized ratio \> 1.8
  • Stage 3 chronic kidney disease or worse as indicated by an estimated glomerular filtration rate \<60ml/min/1.73m2.
  • Use of curcumin or fish oil within 12 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Known or suspected allergy or intolerance to the study treatment
  • In the opinion of the Investigator, the patient's clinical condition does not allow for the blood collection required as per protocol specific procedures.
  • Treatment with any investigational drug during the 3 months prior to entering the study. If the investigational drug has a short half-life (\<8 hours) and would be expected to be cleared from the body within 1 month, then the wash-out period is 1 month. Treatment with any form of leucine, whether as an investigational drug or other formulation is not allowed
  • Treatment with any other investigational drug during the study
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Current participation in another trial is not permitted unless it is a noninterventional study and the sole purpose of the trial is for long-term follow up describing clinical features or survival data (registry)
  • Patients with uncontrolled, severe epileptic seizure periods (at least 3 consecutive severe epileptic seizures that required medication) within 2 months prior to completion of informed consent or assent, as applicable.
  • Neurologically asymptomatic patients
  • Inability to participate in the primary study assessment (4D-NPC-SS or 5D-NPC-SS) as determined by the Investigator
