Abstract

Background Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 (NPC1) is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by progressive neurodegeneration. In preclinical testing 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrins (HPβCD) significantly delayed cerebellar Purkinje cell loss, slowed progression of neurological signs, and increased lifespan in murine and feline models of NPC1. Methods Safety and clinical efficacy of intrathecal HPβCD were evaluated in an open-label, dose- escalation phase 1/2a study. Intrathecal doses ranging from 50–1200 mg were evaluated in 14 neurologically affected NPC1 participants treated monthly for 12 to 18 months. Three additional participants were treated every two weeks for 18 months. Serum and CSF 24(S)- hydroxycholesterol, which served as a biomarker of target engagement, and CSF protein biomarkers were evaluated. NPC Neurological Severity Scores (NSS) were used to compare disease progression in HPβCD-treated participants relative to a historical comparison cohort of 21 NPC1 participants of similar age range. Findings No drug-related serious adverse events were observed. Mid- to high-frequency hearing loss, an expected adverse event, was documented. When managed with hearing aids, this did not have an appreciable impact on daily communication. Biomarker studies were consistent with improved neuronal cholesterol homeostasis and decreased neuronal pathology. The NSS score for the 14 participants treated monthly increased at a rate of 122 ± 0 34 points/year compared to 2 92 ± 0 27 points/year (p=0 0002) for the comparison group. Decreased progression was observed for NSS domains of ambulation (p=0 0622), cognition (p=0 0040) and speech (p=0 0423). Interpretation This phase 1/2a study of intrathecal HPβCD for the treatment of NPC1 demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and slowing of disease progression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
