Early Access Program With Arimoclomol in US Patients With NPC

August 15, 2024 updated by: ZevraDenmark

Early Access Program With Arimoclomol for the Treatment of Niemann-Pick Disease Type C in the US

NPC is a rare, relentlessly progressive, neurological disease and associated with serious morbidity and shortened life expectancy.

The purpose of this Expanded Access Program is to provide early access to arimoclomol for patients with Niemann-Pick Type C disease who, in the opinion and the clinical judgement of the treating physician, may benefit from treatment with arimoclomol.

Participants will receive treatment with arimoclomol until their doctor finds it does not help them anymore, they withdraw, or the study is stopped for any reason.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The patient has a confirmed diagnosis of NPC (NPC1 or NPC2)* and at least one neurological symptom.
  • The patient is two years of age or above.
  • The patient is a permanent resident of US.
  • If taking miglustat (Zavesca®), the patient must have been on the target dose for the past six weeks.
  • If the patient is a sexually active female of child-bearing potential (post-menarche), it is agreed to use highly effective contraception during the EAP and until three weeks after the last dose of arimoclomol.
  • Confirmed negative urine pregnancy test for sexually active female of child-bearing potential (post-menarche).
  • All sexually active male patients with female partners of child-bearing potential (postmenarche) agree to use a condom in addition to the birth control used by their partners during treatment and until three weeks after the last dose of arimoclomol.
  • If the patient has a history of seizures, the condition must be adequately controlled, i.e., the pattern of seizure activity must be stable, and the patient must be on a stable dose and regimen of antiepileptic medication during one month prior to screening.

  • Patient or parent/guardian must provide written informed consent to participate in EAP.

  • The patient is either eligible and able to participate in or is currently participating in an active interventional clinical trial within the indication.
  • The patient, in the opinion of the clinician, is unable to comply with the treatment or has a medical condition that would potentially increase the risk to the patient by participation.
