Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

An initial 6-month, dose-ranging, parallel-group, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase is followed by an 18-month, single-dose, open-label phase--these arms met enrollment goals. A direct-to-open-label arm of the study was opened to allow for additional enrollment.

Masking was used for the initial 6-month randomized, double-blind phase, placebo-controlled.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

CoA-Z dose 1

6 months of CoA-Z at the highest assigned dose followed by 18 months of CoA-Z at dose 2

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CoA-Z

Intervention Type OTHER

People with PKAN lack a chemical to process or metabolize a certain vitamin in the brain. CoA-Z is designed to bypass this metabolic defect that causes PKAN.

CoA-Z dose 2

6 months of CoA-Z at the medium assigned dose followed by 18 months of CoA-Z at dose 2

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CoA-Z

Intervention Type OTHER

People with PKAN lack a chemical to process or metabolize a certain vitamin in the brain. CoA-Z is designed to bypass this metabolic defect that causes PKAN.

CoA-Z dose 3

6 months of CoA-Z at the lowest assigned dose followed by 18 months of CoA-Z at dose 2

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CoA-Z

Intervention Type OTHER

People with PKAN lack a chemical to process or metabolize a certain vitamin in the brain. CoA-Z is designed to bypass this metabolic defect that causes PKAN.

Placebo

6 months of placebo, followed by 18 months of CoA-Z at dose 2 (medium dose)

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

CoA-Z

Intervention Type OTHER

People with PKAN lack a chemical to process or metabolize a certain vitamin in the brain. CoA-Z is designed to bypass this metabolic defect that causes PKAN.

Placebo

Intervention Type OTHER

The placebo is a strawberry-flavored syrup that looks and tastes like CoA-Z but has no active CoA-Z in it.

Open-label arm

Up to 24 months of CoA-Z at dose 2

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CoA-Z

Intervention Type OTHER

People with PKAN lack a chemical to process or metabolize a certain vitamin in the brain. CoA-Z is designed to bypass this metabolic defect that causes PKAN.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Has a diagnosis of PKAN confirmed by: a) genetic testing confirming 2 pathogenic or likely pathogenic mutations, or (b) typical findings on exam and brain MR imaging with only one pathogenic mutation +/- a second likely pathogenic or VOUS in PANK2, or (c) typical findings on exam and brain MR imaging with a single likely pathogenic or VOUS in PANK2, or (d) be a symptomatic sibling of a proband subject meeting a, b or c.
* Be between 3 months old and 89 years old.
* Be able to take study product by mouth or feeding tube.
* Be willing and able to complete study procedures / telephone visits / blood draws independently, OR have a caregiver / parent willing and able to assist with these tasks.
* Be enrolled or willing to enroll in the PKANready natural history study (eIRB 10832).
* Be resident in North America (US or Canada) for the duration of the trial.

Exclusion Criteria

* Have had exposure to a putative PANK2 bypass therapeutic agent in the 30 days prior to screening.
* Be concurrently enrolled in another interventional clinical trial.
* Have concurrent medical or other condition expected to preclude completion of study procedures of confound the assessment of clinical and laboratory measures of safety.
