Summary

A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled therapeutic study in participants with confirmed diagnosis of Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC). The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of arimoclomol (compared to placebo) when it is administered as an add-on therapy to the participant's current prescribed best routine clinical care; participant's routine clinical care may, or may not, include miglustat. The CT-ORZY-NPC-002 study has been expanded to include an open label paediatric sub-study including participants aged 6 to \<24 months at study enrolment.

Detailed description

A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled therapeutic study in participants with confirmed diagnosis of Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC). Participants must either 1) have completed Visit 2 (end of study \[EOS\]) of the CT-ORZY-NPC-001 study or 2) meet the eligibility criteria of this study including a requirement of stable treatment with miglustat for 6 months (if on miglustat therapy) prior to enrolment into the study. Aim: The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of arimoclomol (compared to placebo) when it is administered as an add-on therapy to the participant's current prescribed best routine clinical care; participant's routine clinical care may, or may not, include miglustat. Randomization: Participants will be randomized to receive placebo or arimoclomol (with an allocation ratio of 1:2). Pharmacokinetic evaluation (age below 12): To confirm the selected dose, participants less than 12 years of age will undergo an arimoclomol single-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation before randomization and the start of continuous (multiple dosing) treatment. Early Escape Clause: In participants whose disease progression is too severe and/or too fast, the "early escape clause" will allow the Investigator to apply the escape route which implies that the participant can be treated with arimoclomol (as per blinded phase study schedule) and be followed up according to the study schedule or until the analysis of data from the controlled, 12-month blinded phase study period does not support the efficacy and/or safety of arimoclomol. Study duration: The duration of the blinded phase study period will be 12-months. Following this, all participants will be offered to continue into the extension phase of the study where every participant will receive arimoclomol and be followed up and attend site visits every 6 months until 60 months after randomization. The extension phase runs until arimoclomol has received Regulatory Approval or until the analysis of data from the controlled, blinded phase 12-month study period does not support the efficacy and/or safety of arimoclomol. The CT-ORZY-NPC-002 protocol has been updated to include a paediatric sub-study including new and naïve participants aged 6 to \<24 months at study enrolment. Aim: The purpose of the paediatric sub-study, is to assess the safety and tolerability of 36 months of open-label arimoclomol when administered as an add-on therapy to the participant's current prescribed best routine clinical care; participant's routine clinical care may, or may not, include miglustat. The Paediatric sub-study will run at the open sites participating in the main study. A total of 3-5 participants are planned to be enrolled. All participants will be treated with arimoclomol. Main Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of NPC1 or NPC2; * NPC diagnosis confirmed by: * Genetically confirmed (deoxyribonucleic acid \[DNA\] sequence analysis) by mutations in both alleles of NPC1 or NPC2, OR * Mutation in only one allele of NPC1 or NPC2 plus either positive filipin staining or elevated cholestane triol/oxysterols (\>2 x upper limit of normal). * Males and females aged 6 to \<24 months, with a cap of maximum 3 participants above 18 months * Treated or not treated with miglustat; * If a participant is on prescribed treatment with miglustat, the dose must have been stable for at least 1 month prior to inclusion in the paediatric sub-study * If a participant has been discontinued from prescribed treatment with miglustat, they must have been discontinued for at least 1 month prior to inclusion in the paediatric sub-study * The Legal Authorised Representative (LAR) has read and signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to any study-related procedures * The LAR agrees for the participant to participate in all aspects of the trial design Main Exclusion Criteria: * Recipient of a liver transplant or a planned liver transplant * The Aspartate Transaminase (AST) and/or Alanine Transaminase (ALT) \>3 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) for age and gender * Renal insufficiency with serum creatinine level \>1.5 x ULN * Participants with known causes of active liver disease or prolonged icterus or malformation of organs other than NPC * Participant was born before 37 weeks of gestation * Participant weight \<5 kg at study enrollment * Participant is diagnosed with severe intra-uterine growth restriction * Participant has severe neurological symptoms * Participant has received or plans to receive a bone marrow transplant Arms and Intervention: 1 arm open label treatment with arimoclomol capsules 100 mg (dispersed in water) for oral administration (3 times daily). Doses: The dose in mL is based on the participant's weight in kg. Randomization: Open Label Pharmacokinetic: To confirm the selected dose, participants will undergo an arimoclomol single-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation before the start of continuous treatment. Visit schedule time frame: Screening (V1); enrollment Week 1 (V2 baseline), Weeks 2 (V3), continuing visits at months 1 (V4), 3 (V5), 6 (V6), 9 (V7), 12 (V8), 15 (V8a), 18 (V9), 24 (V10), 30 (V11) and 36 (V12). Primary objective: Safety and tolerability Main Endpoint measures: Safety data: Adverse events (AEs); Vital signs; Hematology; Clinical chemistry Clinical status data: Clinical signs and symptoms captured through physical examination; Change from baseline in patient weight and height; Change in Bayley III score: Developmental delay scoring Imaging data: Changes from baseline in the size of the liver and spleen assessed by ultrasound
