Intravenous VAL-1221 Lafora Expanded Access Protocol (LEAP)

June 25, 2023 updated by: Parasail, LLC

Intravenous VAL-1221 Lafora Expanded Access Protocol (LEAP)

Only qualified physicians treating a Lafora Disease patient may request VAL-1221 Expanded Access treatment under the Parasail Lafora Expanded Access Protocol (LEAP). According to FDA guidance, this protocol can enroll up to 10 patients. However, individual patient inclusion will ultimately be dependent on protocol eligibility, site geography, treatment requirements, and available supply of the investigational therapy. Inquiring physicians can submit a request by contacting the Central Contact personnel listed below in Contacts/Locations.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Available

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Expanded Access

Expanded Access Type

Expanded Access Type

Describes the category of expanded access under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. There are three types of expanded access:
  • Individual Patients: Allows a single patient, with a serious disease or condition who cannot participate in a clinical trial, access to a drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA. This category also includes access in an emergency situation.
  • Intermediate-size Population: Allows more than one patient (but generally fewer patients than through a Treatment IND/Protocol) access to a drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA. This type of expanded access is used when multiple patients with the same disease or condition seek access to a specific drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA.
  • Treatment IND/Protocol: Allows a large, widespread population access to a drug or biological product that has not been approved by the FDA. This type of expanded access can only be provided if the product is already being developed for marketing for the same use as the expanded access use.
  • Intermediate-size Population
  • Treatment IND/Protocol

Contacts and Locations

This section provides the contact details for those conducting the study, and information on where this study is being conducted.

Study Contact

Study Contact

The name and contact information for the person who can answer enrollment questions for a clinical study. Each location where the study is being conducted may also have a specific contact, who may be better able to answer those questions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

  • Mid-stage in evolution of LD between 12 and 28 years of age

  • Able and willing to comply with the protocol, including travel to Protocol Center, procedures, measurements and visits, including:

    • Adequately supportive psychosocial circumstances, in the opinion of the Investigator
    • Caregiver/trial partner committed to facilitate patient's involvement in the study who is reliable, competent, at least 18 years of age
