About this study
Official title: 18-month Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Oral Nizubaglustat (AZ-3102) in Late-infantile and Juvenile Forms of Niemann-Pick Type C Disease and in Late-infantile and Juvenile-onset Forms of GM1 Gangliosidosis or GM2 Gangliosidosis
An 18-month double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral nizubaglustat (AZ-3102) in late-infantile and juvenile forms of Niemann-Pick type C disease and in late-infantile and juvenile-onset forms of GM1 gangliosidosis or GM2 gangliosidosis
Read the detailed description
This is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral nizubaglustat (AZ-3102) in multiple disease areas using a Master Protocol Research Program. Participants are randomized to different subprotocols based on disease type: Niemann-Pick type C (NPC), GM1 gangliosidosis or GM2 gangliosidosis.
Treatment specific procedures will be described in the disease-specific subprotocol. Individual subprotocols may have additional eligibility requirements, safety and efficacy procedures, or endpoints, which will be described in the corresponding subprotocols.
For information specific to each individual subprotocol included in this trial, please refer to the corresponding, separate, clinicaltrials.gov records: Niemann-Pick type C disease NCT07082725 (Recruiting) and GM1 gangliosidosis or GM2 gangliosidosis NCT07082543 (Active, not recruiting - No longer looking for participants) .
