Filter by:Due to different study designs, the sponsor separated Part C into this separate registration (NCT04958642), leaving Parts A/B in NCT02534844. The trial's final results for the primary outcome measure of Adverse Events (AE) will be reported here. This study is to evaluate how safe and effective adrabetadex is for participants with Niemann-Pick Type C1 (NPC1) disease who experience neurologic symptoms (listed under Keywords). In Parts A/B (NCT02534844), two out of every 3 participants will receive the study drug. The third participant will receive 1 to 2 small needle pricks at the location where the IT injection is normally made (sham control). In Part C, all participants will receive study drug.
Background: For people who have Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 (NPC1), cholesterol and other fats have trouble moving out of liver and other tissue cells. This makes the cells sick. Researchers want to find out if a drug called VTS-270 can help. Objective: To test if VTS-270 is safe and effective in treating chronic liver disease associated with NPC1. Eligibility: People ages 3-60 with NPC1 Design: Participants may be screened by phone or under another protocol. Participants will have visits once a month for 12 months. If they have intrathecal injections, the study may last 15 months or more. The first visit will last about 5 days. Others will last 2-3 days. Participants will get VTS-270 injected into a vein at each visit. They can also choose to have intrathecal injections. These are like spinal taps. Some visits will also include: Physical exam Urine tests Blood tests. A small tube or needle will be inserted into the participants vein to collect blood. The small tube will also be used to give the VTS-270. Hearing tests: For one test, participants will have electrodes taped to their head. These will record brain waves. Breathing tests Ultrasound of abdomen: Sounds waves will take pictures of the participant s body. Chest x-ray: This is a picture of the lungs.
This is a multicenter, multinational, open-label study of VTS-270 to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of VTS-270 (2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin) in participants transitioning from Study VTS301 (Parts A/B [NCT02534844] and Part C [NCT04958642]) with neurologic manifestations of Niemann-Pick Type C1 (NPC1) disease.
This study was amended from expanded access to a clinical trial. Information will be collected about long-term safety and effectiveness of adrabetadex shots in the spine every 2 weeks. Participants who were already taking adrabetadex will receive their stable dose. Participants who have not ever taken it will start by receiving 400 mg. Participants will receive treatment every 2 weeks until their doctor finds it does not help them anymore, they withdraw, or the study is stopped for any reason. Participants will not receive additional study treatment after their participation in this protocol.
Niemann-Pick disease, Type C is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a failing in intracellular cholesterol transport, inducing an accumulation of sphingolipids in the brain. Neurological signs are at the forefront of the disease. There are also psychiatric signs of psychotic kind among 28 to 45 % of patients according to studies, and a thirty cases were published. These signs can be concomitant with neurological signs or precede them. Is is likely that psychotic disorders are the first signs of a Niemann-Pick disease not yet non encore diagnosed for some patients. Yet, no prevalence study for this disease in a psychiatric population of patients currently exists. In response to this problem this study proposes to search patients whose disease could be of organic origin or patients whose disease is suspected, based on clinical data. The diagnosis will be confirmed certified with a genetic and/or biochemical test.
The goal of this research study is to establish chimerism and avoid graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) in patients with inherited metabolic disorders.
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the ability to achieve and sustain donor engraftment in patients with lysosomal and peroxisomal inborn errors of metabolism undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT).
The purpose of this study is to determine the safe range of single doses of rhASM administered to adults with ASM deficiency.
