CoA-Z in Pantothenate Kinase-associated Neurodegeneration (PKAN)

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration
Registration Number
NCT04182763
Lead Sponsor
Oregon Health and Science University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn more about how people with the condition pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) respond to a specialized study product. We are hoping to find out if the study product is safe, what effects-good and bad-the study product causes, and whether the study product changes certain measures of disease in PKAN.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Have had exposure to a putative PANK2 bypass therapeutic agent in the 30 days prior to screening.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events Assessed Using CTCAE v4.06 months following first dose in double-blind phase

Safety will be measured using the number of treatment-emergent adverse events (both AE and SAE) by treatment arm. Counts are adjusted for number of prescription medications at baseline as a measure of baseline disease severity.

Number of Treatment-emergent Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormalities on Complete Blood Count.6-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase

Safety will be assessed by measuring the number of treatment-emergent clinically significant laboratory abnormalities on Complete Blood Count. Clinical significance will be determined by Medical Safety Monitor and Clinical Investigators.

Number of Treatment-emergent Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormalities on Comprehensive Metabolic Profile.6-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase

Safety will be assessed by measuring the number of treatment-emergent clinically significant laboratory abnormalities on Comprehensive Metabolic Profile by collection month. Clinical significance will be determined by Medical Safety Monitor and Clinical Investigators.

Number of Participants Retained in Each Arm.6 month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period

Tolerability will be assessed by measuring the number of participants retained in each arm over the course of the study.

Mean Percent of Study Product Consumed.6-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase

Tolerability will be assessed by adherence to the study product regimen arm at each follow-up time point.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
CoASY mRNA ExpressionUp to 6 months after first dose

Average relative CoASY gene expression, measured as the ratio to baseline of 1 / (2\^\[COASY Ct - 18s Ct\]), where Ct = cycle time and 18s is a housekeeping gene. Values \>1 reflect higher expression.
