Study Overview
Brief Summary
An 18-month double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral nizubaglustat (AZ-3102) in late-infantile and juvenile forms of GM1 gangliosidosis or GM2 gangliosidosis
Detailed Description
Please see NCT #07054515 for information on the AZA-001-301 Master Protocol
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate superior efficacy on ataxic manifestations with oral nizubaglustat dosing compared with placebo when administered over 18 months in participants with late-infantile and juvenile forms of GM1/GM2 gangliosidosis
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
I. To assess additional efficacy in ataxic and non-ataxic manifestations comparing nizubaglustat dosing with placebo when administered over 18 months in participants with late-infantile and juvenile forms of GM1/GM2 gangliosidosis

Arms & Interventions
Placebo
Intervention: Placebo (Drug)
Nizubaglustat
Once daily oral dispersible tablets
Intervention: AZ-3102 (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from baseline in total Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) score
Time Frame: Baseline to month 18
Total SARA comprises eight categories with a cumulative score ranging from 0 (no ataxia) to 40 (most severe ataxia)
Change from baseline in functional SARA score
Time Frame: Baseline to month 18
Functional SARA uses an abbreviated scale that scores 0 to 16, with higher scores indicating more severe impairment
Secondary Outcomes
- Change from baseline in SARA score for gait/posture(Baseline to months 6, 12, and 18)
- Change from baseline in SARA score for speech(Baseline to months 6, 12, and 18)
- Change from baseline in SARA score for kinetics(Baseline to months 6, 12, and 18)
- Change from baseline in Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS)(Baseline to months 6, 12, and 18)
- Change from baseline in Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS)(Baseline to months 6, 12, and 18)
- Change from baseline in 9-Hole Peg Test (9-HPT-D)(Baseline to months 6, 12, and 18)
- Change from baseline in Goal Attainment Scale (GAS)(Baseline to months 6, 12, and 18)
- Change from baseline in Clinician Global Impression of Change (CGI-C)(Baseline to months 6, 12, and 18)
- Change from baseline in Participant/Caregiver Global Impression of Change (PGI-C)(Baseline to months 6, 12, and 18)
- Change from baseline in Seizure frequency and duration, as per the seizure diary(Baseline to months 6, 12, and 18)
- Time-to-event comparison between nizubaglustat and placebo over the study duration for pre-defined detrimental events of an increase in total SARA score of ≥2 points(Baseline to month 18)
- Time-to-event comparison between nizubaglustat and placebo over the course of the study for pre-defined detrimental events of an increase in functional SARA of ≥1.5 points(Baseline to month 18)
- Time-to-event comparison between nizubaglustat and placebo over the study duration for pre-defined detrimental events of a decrease in PAS of ≥1 point(Baseline to month 18)
- Time-to-event comparison between nizubaglustat and placebo over the study duration for pre-defined detrimental events of participants leaving the study due to participant/caregiver perception of disease progression/lack of efficacy(Baseline to month 18)
- Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax)(Baseline and months 1,18, and 21)
- Time to Cmax (Tmax)(Baseline and months 1,18, and 21)
- Plasma trough concentration (Ctrough)(Baseline and month 1)
- Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time of dosing (zero) to 24 hours post-dose (AUC0-24) at baseline(Baseline (Day 1))
- Accumulation ratio for Cmax(Baseline and months 1,18, and 21)
- Change from baseline in plasma concentration of glucosylceramide (GlcCer) C16:0; C18:0(Baseline to months 1, 6, 12, and 18)
