Effects of Vitamin B3 in Patients With Ataxia Telangiectasia

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical trial investigates the effects of nicotinamide riboside (vitamin B3) on the disease course of patients with ataxia telangiectasia. Patients will be treated during four consecutive months with nicotinamide riboside (25mg/kg/day), followed by a washout period of two months. Main study parameters/endpoints: Ataxia, dysarthria, quality of life, laboratory parameters.

Clinical Trial Description

Rationale: Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T) is an autosomal recessively inherited neurodegenerative disorder, with a high cancer risk, that also affects the immune and respiratory system. Therapy for A-T is restricted to symptomatic treatment including rehabilitation care, combined with infection prevention and treatment, and screening for pulmonary dysfunction and malignancies. A-T is caused by mutations in the ATM gene. The ATM protein plays a pivotal role in more than 100 different biochemical processes, among which cellular energy metabolism, cell signaling, and DNA repair. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential molecule in many of these processes and studies have shown that NAD+ deficiency plays a role in disease mechanisms underlying DNA repair disorders such as A-T. NAD+ is available in food, but can also be synthesized in the body from its precursors nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, and nicotinamide riboside (NR), as a group called "vitamin B3". Treatment of experimental A-T animal models with NR showed beneficial effects. The aim of this study is to investigate whether treatment with NR during a period of six months may have positive effects on the disease course of patients with A-T. Objective: To investigate the effects of NR on the disease course of patients with ataxia telangiectasia. Study design: Single center, interventional, explorative, open-label proof of concept study. Study population: Patients with A-T (age >2 years). Intervention (if applicable): Patients will be treated with nicotinamide riboside (25mg/kg/day), during four consecutive months, followed by a washout period of two months. Main study parameters/endpoints: Ataxia, dysarthria, quality of life, laboratory parameters. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
