NCT ID NCT07715084
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called nizubaglustat (AZ-3102) in people aged 4 to 30 with Gaucher disease type 3, a rare genetic condition that can cause anemia, low platelets, an enlarged spleen, and neurological problems. Participants take the drug daily as a dissolvable tablet for 96 weeks. Researchers track changes in blood counts, spleen size, and overall symptom severity to see if the drug is safe and effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an experimental oral drug called nizubaglustat (AZ-3102)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, nizubaglustat could become a new oral treatment option for people with Gaucher disease type 3, potentially improving blood counts and reducing spleen enlargement.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 20 participants and no placebo group, so results may not confirm effectiveness. The drug may also cause side effects not yet fully understood.
