Niemann-Pick Type C Disease Understanding

Niemann-Pick Type C Disease: Overview

Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is a rare progressive genetic disorder characterized by an inability of the body to transport cholesterol and other fatty substances (lipids) inside of cells. NPC belongs to a larger group of more than 50 disorders known as lysosomal storage disorders. This leads to the abnormal accumulation of these substances within various tissues of the body, including brain tissue. Individuals with NPC can have onset of symptoms at different ages that have been grouped historically as: perinatal (shortly before and after birth), early infantile (3 months to < 2 years), late infantile (2 to < 6 years), juvenile (6 to < 15 years), and adult (15 years and greater). Individuals with NPC have mutations in one of two genes, NPC1 or NPC2 and are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Approximately 95% of affected individuals have mutations in NPC1. Niemann-Pick disease type C is diagnosed based on characteristic symptoms obtained from a thorough clinical evaluation, and confirmed by a variety of specialized tests. Proper diagnosis of NPC requires physicians to suspect the diagnosis based upon symptoms, and to follow up with appropriate laboratory tests to evaluate the function of the protein or the presence of accumulated byproducts (biochemical tests), and to identify mutations in the NPC1 or NPC2 gene (gene sequencing). Current treatment is directed toward the specific symptoms apparent in each individual. Several therapies have been studied or are currently being studied to assess their long-term safety and effectiveness as potential treatments for individuals with NPC.

Niemann-Pick Type C Disease Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Niemann-Pick Type C Disease report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Niemann-Pick Type C Disease Emerging Drugs

• Arimoclomol: Orphazyme

Arimoclomol is an investigational drug candidate that amplifies the production of heat-shock proteins (HSPs). HSPs can rescue defective misfolded proteins, clear protein aggregates, and improve the function of lysosomes. Arimoclomol is in clinical development at Orphazyme for the treatment of NPC and Gaucher disease. Arimoclomol has received orphan drug designation for NPC in the US and EU, as well as fast-track designation from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for NPC. In addition, arimoclomol has received breakthrough therapy designation and rare-pediatric disease designation from the FDA for NPC. Orphazyme has received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) following its review of the new drug application for arimoclomol, a heat shock protein amplifier intended for the treatment of Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC). The FDA issued the CRL based on needing additional qualitative and quantitative evidence to further substantiate the validity and interpretation of the 5-domain NPC Clinical Severity Scale (NPCCSS) and, in particular, the swallow domain. Further, the FDA noted in the CRL that additional data are needed to bolster confirmatory evidence beyond the single phase II/III clinical trial to support the benefit-risk assessment of the NDA.

• Adrabetadex: Mandos, LLC

VTS-270 (Mallinckrodt) also known as Kleptose; 2-Hydroxypropyl- beta-cyclodextrin; HP-beta- CD; HPBCD) is under development. The drug has received various designations from the United States Food Drug and Administration (FDA)-Rare Pediatric Disease Designation, Promising Innovative Medicine (PIM) Designation, Breakthrough Therapy Designation and Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of NPC. VTS-270 is currently in phase III stage of development, an intrathecal preparation that can cross the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) and as a result, it targets the neurological symptoms of NPC such as dementia and cataplexy. In May 2021, Mandos, LLC announced they have entered into an agreement with Vtesse, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals (Mallinckrodt), a global biopharmaceutical company, to acquire adrabetadex (also known as VTS-270), a drug in development for the treatment of Niemann-Pick Type C1 disease (NPC1).
