Filter by:This study is a US based qualitative PRO research study to document the health insurance literacy as well as the patient experience in Niemann-Pick as it relates to accessing desired care, services and medications for patients. The outcome of this research will be used to inform various other workstreams as NNPDF works to assist families. The core research objectives are to understand the following from Niemann-Pick patients and their families in the US
Primary Objective: - To describe the clinical features and their severity at the time of diagnosis and their evolution over time in patients with confirmed chronic visceral and chronic neurovisceral forms of ASMD - To describe Clinician-Reported Outcomes (ClinROs) and Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) at enrollment and their evolution over time; disease severity at the time of diagnosis and its evolution over time Secondary Objectives: - To describe abnormal values in laboratory parameters and all values of specific clinical and imaging assessments at the time of diagnosis and their evolution over time - To study the use and applicability towards validation of a newly developed ASMD disease severity scoring system - To study the use and applicability towards validation of a newly developed ASMD PRO tool - To describe ASMD-related disease burden among patients with ASMD, caregivers, and healthcare resource utilization - To describe the association between patient demographics (eg, age, gender, race, Ashkenazi ancestry) and genotype with selected clinical features in patients with confirmed chronic visceral and chronic neurovisceral forms of ASMD
This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, single-arm Phase IV confirmatory study. Approximately 19 subjects with Niemann Pick Type C disease (NPC) will be enrolled in this study. The study will be conducted at 2 sites in China.
Establishment of individualized human cellular disease models based on induced pluripotent stem cells that reflect the broad heterogeneous phenotypic spectrum of Niemann Pick disease
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 Niemann-Pick type C disease (NPC). 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) for the symptomatic treatment of NPC. The Extension Phase evaluates the long-term safety and efficacy of IB1001 for the neuroprotective, disease-modifying treatment of NPC.
This research study is being conducted to find out whether Trappsol® Cyclo™, an experimental treatment for people with Niemann Pick disease Type C (NPC-1) is safe at 2 different dose levels and what effects it has on people who have this condition. NPC-1 is caused by a defect in the protein which is important for the transport of fatty substances like cholesterol out of cells. Without this protein, fats build up in the cells ultimately leading to organ damage. The way in which this experimental treatment works is not fully understood but laboratory experiments have shown that it can potentially remove cholesterol build up from the cells in people who have NPC-1. Approximately 12 patients will be asked to take part in this research study for up to 20 weeks (w) in total (including screening. treatment and follow-up). Recruitment is expected to take 6- 9 months.Patients who take part will receive treatment by an intravenous infusion every two weeks. The study will look at what the body does to the drug as well as what the drug does to the body by taking and examining blood and urine samples. A sample(s) of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) will be taken by lumbar puncture during the first treatment dose and may be collected during subsequent doses. Liver and skin biopsy specimens will be taken to assess filipin staining. Cholesterol metabolism will be investigated in liver samples and splenic and hepatic elasticity will be assessed by ultrasound. Patients will also have their hearing tested, be asked questions by their doctor as well completing questionnaires to help assess any changes in their condition during treatment.This study is being sponsored and funded by CTD holdings Inc. It is planned to be run in the USA,.
This research study is being conducted to find out whether Trappsol® Cyclo™, an experimental treatment for people with Niemann-Pick disease Type C1 (NPC-1) is safe at 3 different dose levels and what effects it has on people who have this condition. NPC-1 is caused by a defect in a protein which is important for the transport of fatty substances like cholesterol out of cells. Without this protein, fats build up in the cells ultimately leading to organ damage. The way in which this experimental treatment works is not fully understood but laboratory experiments have shown that it can potentially remove cholesterol build up from the cells in people who have NPC-1. Approximately 12 patients will be asked to take part in this research study for up to 56 weeks in total. recruitment is expected to take 9 months.Patients who take part will receive treatment by an intravenous infusion every two weeks. The study will look at what the body does to the drug as well as what the drug does to the body by taking and examining blood and urine samples. Samples of Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are also taken by lumbar puncture during and following the first treatment dose. Patients will also have their hearing tested, be asked questions by their doctor as well completing questionnaires to help assess any changes in their condition during treatment. Optional assessments patients can choose to take part in include liver biopsies, additional lumbar punctures for CSF.examinations to see if the drug is affecting these. This study is being sponsored and funded by CTD holdings INC. It is planned to be run in the UK, Italy, and Sweden.
Due to different study designs, the sponsor separated Part C into a separate registration (NCT04958642), leaving Parts A/B here in NCT02534844. This study is to find out how safe and effective VTS-270 is for patients with Niemann-Pick Type C1 (NPC1) disease who have neurologic symptoms (listed under Keywords). In Parts A/B, two out of every three patients will receive the study drug. The third patient will receive 1 to 2 small needle pricks at the location where the LP and IT injection is normally made (sham control). In Part C, all participants will receive study drug, as described in the Part C registration record. Start date for this record is the first day a participant was enrolled in Parts A/B. The trial is actually continuing until the last primary outcome measure of safety data are collected from Part C participants. The last primary outcome measure of safety, along with final adverse events results will be posted in the separate Part C registration record.
This is a prospective non-therapeutic observational study in NP-C patients. The aim is to characterize the individual patient disease progression profile through the historical and 6 months prospective evaluation of clinical, imaging, biological(biomarkers) and quality of life data. Patients will be offered enrollment into a Phase II/III study on arimoclomol at the end of the study.

Secondary Objective: To characterize the pharmacokinetic profile and evaluate the pharmacodynamics and exploratory efficacy of olipudase alfa administered intravenously in pediatric participants every 2 weeks for 64 weeks.
