NCT ID NCT03471143

First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This early-phase study tested an experimental drug called adrabetadex (VTS-270) in 4 infants with Niemann-Pick type C disease who had severe liver problems. The drug was given through a vein to see if it could lower abnormal bile acid levels in the blood, which are a sign of liver damage. The study was small and open-label, meaning everyone knew they were getting the drug, so results are preliminary.
