View clinical trials related to Gangliosidoses, GM2.
Filter by:This study is being conducted to better understand the natural course of GM1 gangliosidosis, GM2 gangliosidoses and Gaucher disease Type 2 (GD2). Information is planned to be gathered on at least 180 patients with GM1 gangliosidosis, GM2 gangliosidoses, and Gaucher Disease type 2. Retrospective data collection is planned for at least 150 deceased patients (Group A). Group B is for patients alive at the time of enrollment. In Group B it is planned to prospectively collect more comprehensive data from at least 30 patients. The purpose of this study is to collect relevant information for a adequate design of a potential subsequent research program in these diseases. In this study no therapy is being offered.
This is a multinational, multicenter, open-label, rater-blinded prospective Phase II study which will assess the safety and efficacy of N-Acetyl-L-Leucine (IB1001) for the treatment of GM2 Gangliosidosis (Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff Disease). There are two phases to this study: the Parent Study, and the Extension Phase. The Parent Study evaluates the safety and efficacy of N-Acetyl-L-Leucine (IB1001) in the symptomatic treatment of GM2 Gangliosidosis (Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff Disease). The Extension Phase evaluates the long-term safety and efficacy of IB1001 for the neuroprotective, disease-modifying treatment of GM2 Gangliosidosis. The Extension Phase was considered exploratory.
The objectives of this clinical trial are to assess the safety and tolerability, as well as efficacy, of a stepwise dosing regimen of pyrimethamine, starting at 25 mg/day, given as a single dose daily for 4 weeks in patients affected with chronic Tay-Sachs or Sandhoff variants.
We want to see if Zavesca (or miglustat) is safe and can be tolerated by patients with acute infantile onset GM2 gangliosidosis - classical Tay-Sachs and infantile onset Sandhoff disease. We know that miglustat inhibits the formation of GM2 ganglioside, the compound that is stored in the brains of children with Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff disease. Since it inhibits the synthesis of ganglioside, miglustat may be able to reduce or delay the onset of clinical symptoms.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of Zavesca (miglustat, OGT918) when given as single and multiple doses in juvenile patients with GM2 gangliosidosis.
