Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of N-acetyl-L-leucine based on the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) for the chronic treatment of NPC.

    For the extension phase, the primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of N-Acetyl-L-Leucine based on the 5-domain Niemann-pick disease type c clinical severity scale (NPC-CSS)
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    o To assess the clinical efficacy of N-Acetyl-L-Leucine on symptoms, functioning, and quality of life for patients with NPC;
    o To evaluate the safety and tolerability of N-Acetyl-L-Leucine at 4 g/day in NPC patients aged ≥13 years, and weight-tiered doses in NPC patients aged 4 to 12 years of age

    In the extension phase, the secondary objectives are to:
    o To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of N-Acetyl-L-Leucine at 4 g/day in patients aged ≥13 years, and weight-tiered doses in patients 4 to 12 years of age, with NPC
    o To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of N-Acetyl-L-Leucine in patients with NPC

    Exploratory objective:
    o To assess the clinical efficacy of long-term treatment with N-Acetyl-L-Leucine on symptoms, functioning, and quality of life for patients with NPC
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

Females of childbearing potential, defined as a premenopausal female capable of becoming pregnant, will be included if they are either sexually inactive (sexually abstinent for 14 days prior to the first dose and confirm to continue through 28 days after the last dose) or using one of the following highly effective contraceptives (i.e. results in <1% failure rate when used consistently and correctly) 14 days prior to the first dose continuing through 28 days after the last dose:
    a) intrauterine device (IUD);
    b) surgical sterilization of the partner (vasectomy for 6 months minimum);
    c) combined (estrogen or progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with the inhibition of ovulation (either oral, intravaginal, or transdermal);

For a vasectomized male who has had his vasectomy 6 months or more prior to study start, it is required that they use a condom during sexual intercourse. A male who has been vasectomized less than 6 months prior to study start must follow the same restrictions as a non-vasectomized male.
    6. If male, patient agrees not to donate sperm from the first dose until 90 days after their last dose.
    7. Patients must fall within:
    a) A SARA score of 7 ≤ X ≤ 34 points (out of 40)
    AND
    b) Either:
    i. Within the 2-7 range (0-8 range) of the Gait subtest of the SARA scale
    OR
    ii. Be able to perform the 9-Hole Peg Test with Dominant Hand (9HPT-D) (SCAFI subtest) in 20 ≤ X ≤150 seconds.
    8. Weight ≥15 kg at screening.
    9. Patients are willing to disclose their existing medications/therapies for (the symptoms) of NPC, including those on the prohibited medication list. Non-prohibited medications/therapies (authorized medicines for NPC [e.g. miglustat], speech therapy, and physiotherapy) are permitted provided:
    a) The Investigator does not believe the medication/therapy will interfere with the study protocol/results
    b) Patients have been on a stable dose/duration and type of therapy for at least 42 days before Visit 1 (Baseline 1)
    c) Patients are willing to maintain a stable dose/do not change their therapy throughout the duration of the study.
    10. An understanding of the implications of study participation, provided in the written patient information and informed consent by patients or their legal representative/parent, and demonstrates a willingness to comply with instructions and attend required study visits (for children this criterion will also be assessed in parents or appointed guardians).

It is a reliable and valid clinical scale with a high internal consistency that measures the severity of symptoms and ataxia and increases with ataxia disease stage.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    The primary endpoint is based on the analysis of covariance comparing the mean SARA at the end of Period I (Visit 4) minus the mean SARA at the end of Period II (Visit 6 with the Baseline SARA (Visit 2) as a covariate.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    • Spinocerebellar Ataxia Functional Index (SCAFI)
    • Quality of Life EQ-5D-5L for patients aged ≥18; EQ-5D-Y for patients aged <18 years
    • Modified Disability Rating Scale (mDRS)
