Brief summary
Due to different study designs, the sponsor separated Part C into a separate registration (NCT04958642), leaving Parts A/B here in NCT02534844. This study is to find out how safe and effective VTS-270 is for patients with Niemann-Pick Type C1 (NPC1) disease who have neurologic symptoms (listed under Keywords). In Parts A/B, two out of every three patients will receive the study drug. The third patient will receive 1 to 2 small needle pricks at the location where the LP and IT injection is normally made (sham control). In Part C, all participants will receive study drug, as described in the Part C registration record. Start date for this record is the first day a participant was enrolled in Parts A/B. The trial is actually continuing until the last primary outcome measure of safety data are collected from Part C participants. The last primary outcome measure of safety, along with final adverse events results will be posted in the separate Part C registration record.
Detailed description
Non-clinical studies and a Phase 1 clinical trial suggest that intrathecal administration of VTS-270 in patients with neurologic manifestations of Niemann-Pick Type C1 (NPC1) disease has the potential to slow the rate of progression of their neurologic disease. Niemann-Pick Type C1 (NPC1) disease is a rare, neurodegenerative, inherited, autosomal recessive lysosomal lipid storage disorder primarily in children and teenagers. The disease is characterized by the inability to properly metabolize cholesterol and other lipids within the cell due to mutations in the NPC1 gene, causing unesterified cholesterol to accumulate in the brain, liver and spleen. This study plans to enroll about 51 participants with NPC1 disease. It will be conducted in three parts: Parts A, B, and C. * Part A will evaluate 3 different dose levels of VTS-270 in 12 participants to determine the dose level for Parts B and C. * In Part B, 39 more participants will join the original 12 to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the dose selected from Part A compared to sham control. * Part C will be an open-label extension phase of the study for Part B participants who either complete Part B or have met rescue therapy criteria, as well as participants entering Part C from other trials. Participants in Part C will receive treatment with VTS-270 until the product is licensed or the program is terminated (anticipated within 5 years). Final results will be posted in the Part C registration record (NCT04958642).
Interventions

| Parts A/B: Change From Baseline to Week 52 in 4-Item Composite Score of Niemann Pick Type C Severity Scale (NPC-SS) Score | Baseline, Week 52 | The NPC-SS composite score is the sum of the ambulation, cognition, fine motor, and swallowing domains of the NPC-SS. Each of the four NPC-SS components (ambulation, cognition, fine motor, and swallowing) are rated on a scale from 0 (better) to 5 (worse). The total score was the sum of individual components scores which ranges from 0 (best) to 20 (worst), with higher scores indicating more severe clinical impairment. |
| Parts A/B: Number of Participants Classified With Each Score on the Clinician Global Impression of Change (CGIC) at Week 52 | Week 52 | The Clinician CGIC is a 7-point Likert scale. The scale requires assessment of change from a baseline level of disease activity, with anchors ranging from markedly improved, moderately improved, and minimally improved to no change and corresponding worsening (minimally, moderately, markedly). The Investigator rates his/her impression of the change in each participant's condition at week 52 on a scale from marked improvement (1) to marked worsening (7). |
Secondary

|---|---|---|
| Parts A/B: Number of Participants Classified as Responders on NPC-SS Total Score (Excluding Hearing and ABR) at Week 52 | Week 52 | The NPC-SS total score is based on 9 domains including ambulation, fine motor skills, cognition, swallowing, memory, speech, eye movement, hearing (sensorineural) and seizures. The hearing domain and ABR modifiers are removed from the total NPC-SS total score for this measure. A Likert-like scale is used to assign the remaining 8 major domain scores of 0 to 5 (better to worse). The total score was the sum of individual components scores which ranges from 0 (best) to 40 (worst), with higher scores indicating more severe clinical impairment. Responders on NPC-SS Total Score are defined as participants with no change or improvement on NPC-SS total score from baseline to Week 52. |

Parts A/B: Change From Baseline to Week 52 in Mean Annualized Rate of Change (Slope) of NPC-SS Composite Score
The NPC-SS composite score is the sum of the ambulation, cognition, fine motor, and swallowing domains of the NPC-SS. Each of the four NPC-SS components (ambulation, cognition, fine motor, and swallowing) are rated on a scale from 0 (better) to 5 (worse). The total score was the sum of individual components scores which ranges from 0 (best) to 20 (worst), with higher scores indicating more severe clinical impairment. The Annualized rate of change (Slope) is calculated as 365.25 \*(\[measurement at post-baseline visit - measurement at baseline\]/\[date of post-baseline visit - date of baseline visit + 1\]).
Time frame: Baseline, Week 52
Population: mITT population included all randomized participants who received at least one treatment (sham or adrabetadex).

Parts A/B: Time to One Point Increase (Worsening) in NPC-SS Composite Score
The NPC-SS composite score is the sum of the ambulation, cognition, fine motor, and swallowing domains of the NPC-SS. Each of the four NPC-SS components (ambulation, cognition, fine motor, and swallowing) are rated on a scale from 0 (better) to 5 (worse). The total score was the sum of individual components scores which ranges from 0 (best) to 20 (worst), with higher scores indicating more severe clinical impairment. The product-limit survival analysis method is used to estimate the time to one point increase (worsening) in NPC-SS composite score. Time to worsening in NPC-SS Composite Score defined as the interval from study drug administration to a one point increase in the NPC-SS composite score. If a subject discontinued from the study prior to Week 52, then the subject was censored at time of discontinuation. If a subject completed the Week 52 visit, then the subject was censored at the time of last study visit.
