Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of miglustat on the rate of disease progression and disease stabilization in subjects with NPC.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are: 1. To assess the effect of miglustat on other aspects of NPC disease control. 2. To assess the safety and tolerability of miglustat in subjects with NPC.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is: The changes in horizontal saccadic eye movements from baseline to Week 52 (Visit 7 / End of Treatment [EOT]). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Throughout the study

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Secondary time points: 1. Baseline (Visit 2) to Week 26 (Visit 5) and to Week 52 (Visit 7 / EOT). Safety Timepoints: 2,3,4 and 6. Throughout the study 5. Week 52 / Visit 7 / EOT.;Secondary end point(s): Efficacy end point: 1. The change in the scores of the Pineda disability scale from Baseline (Visit 2) to Week 26 (Visit 5) and to Week 52 (Visit 7 / EOT). Safety endpoints: 2. Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs up to 30 days after study treatment discontinuation. 3. Treatment-emergent AEs leading to premature discontinuation of study treatment. 4. Change in vital signs (systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure and pulse rate), body weight and height from Baseline (Visit 2) to all assessed time points during the study. 5. Treatment-emergent marked laboratory abnormalities up Week 52 / Visit 7 / EOT. 6. Change in laboratory parameters from Baseline (Visit 2) to all assessed time points during the study.
