NCT ID: NCT02030015 Terminated - Sandhoff Disease Clinical Trials

Synergistic Enteral Regimen for Treatment of the Gangliosidoses

Syner-G
Start date: December 22, 2015
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The investigators hypothesize that a combination therapy using miglustat and the ketogenic diet for infantile and juvenile patients with gangliosidoses will create a synergy that 1) improves overall survival for patients with infantile or juvenile gangliosidoses, and 2) improves neurodevelopmental clinical outcomes of therapy, compared to data reported in previous natural history studies. The ketogenic diet is indicated for management of seizures in patients with seizure disorders. In this study, the ketogenic diet will be used to minimize or prevent gastrointestinal side-effects of miglustat. A Sandhoff disease mouse study has shown that the ketogenic diet may also improve central nervous system response to miglustat therapy (see Denny in "Citations" list below). Patients with infantile and juvenile gangliosidoses commonly suffer from seizure disorders, and use of the ketogenic diet in these patients may therefore also improve seizure management.

NCT ID: NCT01372228 Terminated - Sandhoff Disease Clinical Trials

Phase I/II Pilot Study of Mixed Chimerism to Treat Inherited Metabolic Disorders

Start date: April 2011
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this research study is to establish chimerism and avoid graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) in patients with inherited metabolic disorders.
