Brief Summary

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

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.

Following this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled "Parent Study", an extension phase is conducted for (1) patients who completed the "Parent Study" and (2) patients who are enrolled directly into the Extension Phase. Currently, the Extension Phase provides patients with 3 years of open-label treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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 Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

1. Written informed consent signed by the patient and/or their legal representative/ parent/ impartial witness
2. Male or female aged ≥4 years with a confirmed genetic diagnosis of NPC at the time of signing informed consent.
3. 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:

1. intrauterine device (IUD);
2. surgical sterilization of the partner (vasectomy for 6 months minimum);
3. combined (estrogen or progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with the inhibition of ovulation (either oral, intravaginal, or transdermal);
4. progestogen only hormonal contraception associated with the inhibition of ovulation (either oral, injectable, or implantable);
5. intrauterine hormone releasing system (IUS);
6. bilateral tubal occlusion.
4. Females of non-childbearing potential who have undergone one of the following sterilization procedures at least 6 months prior to the first dose:

1. hysteroscopic sterilization;
2. bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral salpingectomy;
3. hysterectomy;
4. 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.

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.
6. If male, patient agrees not to donate sperm from the first dose until 90 days after their last dose.
7. Patients must fall within:

a) 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.
8. Weight ≥15 kg at screening.
9. 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:

2. Patients have been on a stable dose/duration and type of therapy for at least 42 days before Visit 1 (Baseline 1)

2. 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.
