E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the clinical benefit of long-term orally-administered AT-007 (govorestat) on how pediatric patients with Classic Galactosemia (CG) feel and function as a composite sum of change on speech and language skills, behavior and daily living skills (as measured Oral and Written Language Scales [OWLS-II] and Behavior Assessment System for Children 3rd Edition [BASC-3] tests) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Evaluate the following parameters of orally-administered AT-007 in paediatric patinets with CG: -The efficacy in reducing the pharmacodynamic biomarker, galactitol. - The efficacy of long-term in preventing or ameliorating behavioral and developmental symptoms as measured by the BASC test; speech and language symptoms as measured by the OWLS test; impairment in cognitive function via National Institutes of Health (NIH) Toolbox Cognition Battery; movement disorders of the upper limbs as assessed by the Archimedes Spiral Drawing Test and 9-Hole Pegboard test; impairment in gross and fine motor function as assessed by Standing Balance test and the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA). -The efficacy of long-term in preventing early-onset and/or progression of cataracts. -The clinical benefit of long-term on sexual maturation and ovarian function in pediatric female patients with CG. -The safety of AT-007. -The PK parameters of multiple doses of AT-007. |
