Summary

A pivotal, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-center therapeutic study for patients age 4 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of Niemann Pick disease type C (NPC). The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of N-acetyl-L-leucine (IB1001) compared to standard of care.

Description

This is a multinational, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, cross-over Phase III study that will assess the safety and efficacy of N-Acetyl-L-Leucine (IB1001) versus Placebo for the treatment of Niemann-Pick type C disease (NPC).

Patients will be assessed during three study periods: a baseline period (approximately 2-weeks), after which they will be randomized (1:1) to receive treatment with IB1001 or Placebo for approximately 12-weeks during the first intervention period ("Period I"). Following Period I, patients will crossover to receive the opposite treatment (IB1001 or Placebo) for approximately 12-weeks during a second intervention period ("Period II).

Patients will be assessed twice during each study period. Patients who have participated in the study may be offered the opportunity to roll over into an Extension Phase, which is planned to allow patients to have further access to IB1001.

Eligibility

 Yes No Not Sure

Inclusion Criteria

Written informed consent signed by the patient and/or their legal representative/ parent/ impartial witness
Male or female aged ≥4 years with a confirmed genetic diagnosis of NPC at the time of signing informed consent
Females of childbearing potential, defined as a premenopausal female capable of becoming pregnant, will be included if they are either sexually inactive (sexually abstinent for 14 days prior to the first dose and confirm to continue through 28 days after the last dose) or using one of the following highly effective contraceptives (i.e. results in <1% failure rate when used consistently and correctly) 14 days prior to the first dose continuing through 28 days after the last dose
intrauterine device (IUD)
surgical sterilization of the partner (vasectomy for 6 months minimum)
combined (estrogen or progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with the inhibition of ovulation (either oral, intravaginal, or transdermal)
progestogen only hormonal contraception associated with the inhibition of ovulation (either oral, injectable, or implantable)
intrauterine hormone releasing system (IUS)
bilateral tubal occlusion
Females of non-childbearing potential who have undergone one of the following
sterilization procedures at least 6 months prior to the first dose
hysteroscopic sterilization
bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral salpingectomy
hysterectomy
bilateral oophorectomy; OR be postmenopausal with amenorrhea for at least 1 year prior to the first dose and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) serum levels consistent with postmenopausal status. FSH analysis for postmenopausal women will be done at screening. FSH levels should be in the postmenopausal range as determined by the central laboratory
Non-vasectomized male patient agrees to use a condom with spermicide or abstain from
sexual intercourse during the study until 90 days beyond the last dose of
study medication and the female partner agrees to comply with inclusion
criteria 3 or 4
For a vasectomized male who has had his vasectomy 6 months or more prior to
study start, it is required that they use a condom during sexual intercourse
A male who has been vasectomized less than 6 months prior to study start must
follow the same restrictions as a non-vasectomized male
If male, patient agrees not to donate sperm from the first dose until 90 days after their last dose
Patients must fall within
A SARA score of 7 ≤ X ≤ 34 points (out of 40) AND b) Either: i. Within the 2-7 range (0-8 range) of the Gait subtest of the SARA scale OR ii. Be able to perform the 9-Hole Peg Test with Dominant Hand (9HPT-D) (SCAFI subtest) in 20 ≤ X ≤150 seconds
Weight ≥15 kg at screening
Patients are willing to disclose their existing medications/therapies for (the symptoms) of NPC including those on the prohibited medication list. Non-prohibited medications/therapies (authorized medicines for NPC [e.g. miglustat], speech therapy, and physiotherapy) are permitted provided
The Investigator does not believe the medication/therapy will interfere with the study protocol/results
Patients have been on a stable dose/duration and type of therapy for at least 42 days before Visit 1 (Baseline 1)
Patients are willing to maintain a stable dose/do not change their therapy throughout the duration of the study
An understanding of the implications of study participation, provided in the written
patient information and informed consent by patients or their legal
representative/parent, and demonstrates a willingness to comply with
instructions and attend required study visits (for children this criterion
will also be assessed in parents or appointed guardians)

Exclusion Criteria

Patients who are unable to consistently Patients who have any known hypersensitivity or history of hypersensitivity to
Acetyl-Leucine (DL-, L-, D-) or derivatives

Excipients the placebo sachet (namely isomalt, hypromellose, strawberry flavour, citric acid, microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, denatonium benzoate)
Simultaneous participation in another clinical study or participation in any clinical
study involving administration of an investigational medicinal product (IMP
'study drug') for at least 42 days prior to Visit 1. At the discretion of the
investigator, Medical Monitor, and Sponsor, the washout period for specific
IMPs may be longer based on the pharmacological activity and pharmacokinetics
of the drug
Patients with a physical, cognitive, or psychiatric condition which, at the investigator's discretion and in consultation with the Medical Monitor and Sponsor (as applicable), may put the patient at risk, may confound the study results, or may interfere with the patient's participation in the clinical study, i.e. reliably perform study assessments
Known or persistent use, misuse, or dependency of medication, drugs, or alcohol
Current or planned pregnancy or women who are breastfeeding
Patients with severe vision or hearing impairment (that is not corrected by glasses or hearing aids) that, at the investigator's discretion, interferes with their ability to perform study assessments
Patients who have been diagnosed with arthritis or other musculoskeletal disorders affecting joints, muscles, ligaments, and/or nerves that by themselves affects patient's mobility and, at the investigator's discretion, interferes with their ability to perform study assessments
Patients unwilling and/or not able to undergo a 42 day period from any of the following prohibited medication prior to Visit 1 (Baseline 1) and remain without prohibited medication through Visit 6
N-Acetyl-DL-Leucine (e.g. Tanganil®)
