Read the detailed description

This will be a multi-center, randomized withdrawal, open-label, non-treatment concurrent control, parallel group study. Patients completing protocol BBCO-001 will be offered the opportunity to enter into this 12-month randomized withdrawal protocol.

Eligible patients will be randomized to one of the following treatment arms:

  • Treatment Arm 1: active treatment; continuation of 30 g IV Cabaletta once a week over an additional 52 weeks.
  • Treatment Arm 2: no-treatment concurrent control; discontinuation of IV Cabaletta and follow-up over 52 weeks.

IV Cabaletta will be administered once a week to patients in Treatment Arm 1. All patients, regardless of treatment arm allocation, will undergo the same safety and efficacy assessments during the monthly site visits.

Being tested
Tehalose 30gr
Medical subject headings
Muscular Dystrophies, Muscular Dystrophy, Oculopharyngeal

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in disease markers

    long term effect of Cabaletta on disease progression as measured by the changes in the disease markers

    Measured: 52 weeks

  2. Change in swallowing quality of life

    long term effect of Cabaletta on disease progression as measured by the changes in the patient's swallowing quality of life

    Measured: 52 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Long-term safety and tolerability of repeated intravenous (IV) of Cabaletta 30 g

    The safety and tolerability will be evaluated by measuring the adverse events, vital signs, safety labs and physical examination during the entire study period. The number of events of change in the safety evaluations will be compared between the treatment and non treatment groups.

    Measured: 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tehalose 30gr in people with Muscular Dystrophy, Oculopharyngeal (OPMD), run by Bioblast Pharma Ltd. at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in disease markers (time frame: 52 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jul 2019.
