Eligibility Criteria

All

Inclusion Criteria

  • Written informed consent (and assent if appropriate to local laws and regulations) prior to any study-related procedures
  • Willing to participate in all aspects of trial design including serial blood sampling, skin biopsies and imaging (ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRI/MRS) collections
  • Males and females aged from 2 years to 18 years and 11 months
  • Patients of any ethnic background will be eligible for this study
  • Diagnosis of Niemann-Pick disease type C (NP-C), NPC1/NPC2
  • NP-C diagnosis genetically confirmed (deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] sequence analysis);
  • Presenting at least one neurological symptom of the disease (for example, but not limited to, hearing loss, vertical supranuclear gaze palsy, ataxia, dementia, dystonia, seizures dysarthria, or dysphagia)
  • Treated or non-treated with miglustat; if the patient is under prescribed treatment with miglustat, it has to be under stable dose of the medication for = 3 continuous months prior to inclusion in this study
  • Patient weight = 15th percentile of body mass index (BMI) for age according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) standards
  • Ability to walk either independently or with assistance.
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? yes
  • Number of subjects for this age range: 35
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 5
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion Criteria

  • No written informed consent obtained from the patient or their parent(s)/legal guardian(s) (and assent if appropriate to local laws and regulation) before any study related procedures
  • Recipient of a liver transplant or planned liver transplantation
  • Patients with uncontrolled severe epileptic seizures period (at least 3 consecutive severe epileptic seizures that required medication) within 2 months prior to the written consent. This includes patients with ongoing seizures that are not stable in frequency or type or duration over a 2 month period prior to enrollment, requiring change in dose of antiepileptic medication (other than adjustment for weight) over a 2 month period prior to enrollment, or requiring 3 or more antiepileptic medications to control seizures
  • Neurologically asymptomatic patients
  • Severe liver insufficiency (defined as hepatic laboratory parameters, aspartate transaminase [AST] and alanine transaminase [ALT] greater than three-times the upper limit of normal for age and gender
  • Severe renal insufficiency, with serum creatinine level greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal
  • Severe manifestations of NP-C disease that would interfere with the patient’s ability to comply with the requirements of this protocol
  • In the opinion of the Investigator, the patient's clinical condition does not allow for the required blood collection and/or skin biopsies as per the protocol-specified procedures
  • Treatment with any IMP within 4 weeks prior to the study enrolment, or during the study
  • Current participation in another trial is not permitted unless it is a non-interventional study and the sole purpose of the trial is for long-term follow up/survival data (registry)
  • Patients will be excluded if there is a confirmed risk linked to the MRI procedure [i.e.: implanted cardiac pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, implanted neural pacemakers, cochlear implants, implanted metallic foreign bodies in the eye or CNS (such as a CNS aneurysmal clip), any form of implanted wire or metal device that may concentrate radio frequency fields and/or confirmed history of unexpected serious adverse reaction to sedation or anesthesia (if sedation is necessary)]
  • Patients will be excluded if there is a confirmed risk linked to the skin punch biopsy procedure like severe thrombocytopaenia, at investigator’s discretion.
