The AIDNPC clinical trial programme consists of two studies:

  • The ‘-001’ Observational Study, where patients can join the programme early and participate in a natural history study. This study is running in several European countries. US patients are not able to join the 001 study.
  • The ‘-002’ Interventional Study, is currently opening up in countries where approval has been obtained. Here, patients will receive three-times daily oral treatment with the study drug in a placebo-controlled manner. Not all sites are yet able to enroll.

Recruitment into the 002 Interventional Study

At the latest end-of-the-month AIDNPC telephone conference hosted by the sponsor, Orphazyme ApS, the following update on the recruitment into the ‘-002’ Study was presented. Over the last month, 10 more patients have enrolled in ‘-002’ Study, for a the total of 13 patients now enrolled to date at the 5 European sites that so far have opened for ‘-002’ enrolment. Of these, 10 patients have rolled over from the ‘-001’ Study, while 3 are enrolled directly into ‘-002’. To date at the following site have been activated for the ‘-002’ Study:

– Copenhagen, Denmark

– Birmingham, UK

– Mainz, Germany

– Münich, Germany

– Paris, France

 

Orphazyme was pleased that approvals national competent authorities, local and national ethics committees and research councils, as well as hospitals and clinics are being obtained such that individual sites are now getting activated for the ‘-002’ Study.
