Experimental drug shows promise for rare genetic disorder
NCT ID NCT03759678
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase II trial tested a drug called N-Acetyl-L-Leucine (IB1001) in 17 people with Ataxia-Telangiectasia, a rare genetic disease that affects movement and immunity. The study aimed to see if the drug could improve symptoms and slow the disease over time. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited.
