Summary

This study tests a new oral medicine called NPI-001 for people with cystinosis, a rare disease that causes cystine crystals to build up in the body. It compares NPI-001 to the current standard treatment, cysteamine, to see if it is safe and how well it controls cystine levels. The trial involves 12 participants aged 10 and older who will stop their usual medication for two days during testing.
