A Phase I/II study to evaluate Trappsol Cyclo (hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin) in patients with Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC-1) to assess what the drug does to the body, and what the body does to the drug, and the side effects and benefits experienced by patients

A Phase I/II study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of intravenous Trappsol Cyclo (HP-ß-CD) in patients with Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC-1) and the pharmacodynamic effects of treatment upon markers of cholesterol metabolism and clinical outcomes

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: See Section E.5.1; Main Objective: Stage 1 • To compare the plasma pharmacokinetics of hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin following 3 different single doses of intravenous Trappsol Cyclo in patients with NPC-1 Stage 2 • To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of 3 different doses of Trappsol Cyclo in the management of clinical manifestations of NPC-1 ; Secondary Objective: Stage 1 • To investigate the effect of 3 different doses of intravenous Trappsol Cyclo in patients upon serum and lymphocytic markers of cholesterol metabolism in patients with NPC-1 • To evaluate hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid following intravenous administration of Trappsol Cyclo in patients with NPC-1 Stage 2 • To investigate the effect of 3 different doses of intravenous Trappsol Cyclo upon serum and lymphocytic markers of cholesterol metabolism in patients with NPC-1 • To evaluate the impact of treatment upon measures of neurological function including ataxia, cognitive impairment, fine motor skills and saccadic eye movements in patients with NPC-1 • To evaluate the impact of treatment upon behavioural aspects of NPC-1 disease ; Primary end point(s): Stage 1 • Plasma concentrations of HP-ß-CD during and following infusion to evaluate Tmax, Cmax, volume of distribution and elimination half-life (at 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours after the start of infusion and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours after the end of the infusion) Stage 2 • Change from baseline in global impression of disease severity at 48 weeks • The proportion of patients at 48 weeks with a reduction from baseline of at least one point in two or more domains of the NIH NPC severity

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Stage 1 • Change from baseline in serum cholesterol precursors (lanosterol, lathosterol, desmosterol) and cholesterol metabolites/bile acid precursors (4b-, 24S-, 25-, 27- hydroxycholesterol) (days 2, 3, 5, 8, and 15 post-dose in Stage 1) • Change from baseline in markers of lipid trafficking in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (at day 15 post-dose in Stage 1) • CSF concentrations of HP-ß-CD at 4, 8 and 12 hours following the start of the intravenous administration. In paediatric patients the number of samples may be reduced at the discretion of the Investigator to one post dose sample taken approximately within 1 hour after the end of the infusion. (Stage 1) • AEs, laboratory abnormalities, time to withdrawal due to AE (every visit) Stage 2 • Change from baseline in serum cholesterol precursors (lanosterol, lathosterol, desmosterol) and cholesterol metabolites/bile acid precursors (4b-, 24S-, 25-, 27- hydroxycholesterol) (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44 and 48 weeks) • Change from baseline in markers of lipid trafficking in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks) • Change from baseline in NIH NPC severity scale at 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks • Change from baseline in individual NIH NPC scale domains at 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks • Change from baseline in neurologic symptoms at 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks - ataxia (using the Scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia [SARA] scale)* - cognitive impairment (using the Mini-Mental State Evaluation score [MMSE])* - saccadic eye movements - fine motor skills (using the bead threading test)* *In patients where age and cognitive function allow • Change from baseline in hepatic, splenic and renal morpho
