NCT ID NCT05174039

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested the drug miglustat in 6 adults aged 17 and older with CLN3 Batten disease, a rare genetic disorder that causes nerve damage. The goal was to see if the drug is safe and to find the best dose over 2 years. Researchers tracked side effects and how the drug moved through the body.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
miglustat
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a treatment that slows or manages CLN3 Batten disease in older patients.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early-phase trial with only 6 people, so results may not apply widely. The drug may cause side effects and may not improve the disease.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Individuals 1. Have provided informed consents (TCH and NIH) by subject or parent/legal guardian/legally authorized representative (as appropriate). 2. Are males or females ≥ 17 years of age at the time of screening 3. Have genetically confirmed diagnosis of syndromic CLN3 disease with EITHER: A. Two pathogenic mutations in the CLN3 gene, OR B. One confirmed pathogenic AND one variant of unknown significance, OR 2 variants of unknown significance, PLUS (+) secondary confirmation with evidence of characteristic inclusions on electron microscopy AND characteristic clinical course. There is no restriction on the specific CLN3 mutations for eligibility to enroll in the study. The mutations will be recorded in the electronic case report form (eCRF) for potential use in determining if CLN3 genotype is associated with tolerability and/or effectiveness of Beyond Batten Disease Foundation-1 (BBDF-1) (miglustat) therapy. 4. Male and female participants must use a highly effective method of contraception and must continue for the duration of the trial (and for 30 days after the end of treatment). 5. Are able to complete study assessments (subject or caregiver) and return to the clinic as scheduled Exclusion criteria Individuals 1. Have a medical condition that in the opinion of the PI would interfere with the safety assessments or increase the subject's risk of adverse events (AEs) 2. Use of any therapy (approved, off-label, or unapproved) intended to modify the course of any neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis disease, including but not limited to flupirtine or flupirtine derivatives, cerliponase alfa (Brineura) 3. Have, in the opinion of the PI, a clinically significant abnormality in their clinical laboratory values (hematology, chemistry, or urinalysis) at screening that would preclude their participation in the study
