IntraBio Inc. is pleased to confirm that the Clinical Trial IB1001-201, “Effects of N-Acetyl-L-Leucine on Niemann-Pick type C Disease (NPC): A multinational, multi-center, open-label, rater-blinded Phase II study” is open for recruitment in Germany.

IB1001-201 is a multinational study that investigates the effects of the novel drug IB1001 (N-Acetyl-L-Leucine) for treatment of Niemann-Pick Disease type C (NPC). The trial has previously been accepted by Independent Ethics Committees (IEC), and the Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte (BfArM) (EudraCT: 2018-004431-71), as well as National Regulatory Agencies in the United Kingdom, Slovakia, and Spain, and the US Food and Drug Administration (IND 134369).

In Germany/ Europe, patients aged 6 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of NPC may be eligible for recruitment. The trial will consist of three study phases: a baseline period, a 6-week treatment period, and a 6-week post-treatment washout period, followed by a planned one-year extension phase. Patients (and a caregiver) will be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred for participating in the trial, such as travel and parking.

Two trial sites have been officially established in Germany*: Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) of Munich and the University of Giessen. As of September, LMU Munich is actively recruiting patients. It is planned the University of Giessen will begin recruitment in October 2019.
