Overview
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.
Detailed Description
The TransportNPC study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled therapeutic study for 93 patients age 3 and older with confirmed diagnosis of 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 by slow infusion every two weeks in addition to standard of care as compared to placebo and standard of care. Standard of care may include Miglustat or leucine products that are not currently under investigation as a therapeutic. Patients will be randomized to receive Trappsol Cyclo or placebo at a 2:1 ratio. The study duration is 96 weeks, with an unblinded interim analysis at 48 weeks. An open-label extension of up to 96 weeks follows the interventional study. Patients whose disease progression worsens by two levels in the Clinical Global Impression of Severity scale over 12 weeks, starting at week 36, may be moved to open label treatment. Efficacy will be measured at week 48 and week 96 by a composite score of major disease features. A sub-study will be conducted in countries following EMA guidance for up to 12 patients age 0 - 3 years who may be asymptomatic. Outcomes for the sub-study are safety, clinical and caregiver impression of disease.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •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
Exclusion Criteria
- •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/1.73m
- •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
Arms & Interventions
