Posted by Cyclo Therapeutics, Inc. formerly CTD Holdings, Inc., a biotechnology company that develops cyclodextrin-based products for the treatment of disease, announced that it has completed patient enrollment in its Phase I trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Trappsol® Cyclo™ administered intravenously to Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NPC) patients.
Niemann-Pick Disease Type C is a rare and fatal genetic disease affecting 1 in 100,000 live births globally. NPC affects every cell in the body due to a defect in the NPC protein which is responsible for cholesterol processing in the cell. NPC causes symptoms in the brain, liver, spleen, lung and other organs. There are no approved drug therapies for NPC in the United States and only one approved therapy in Europe.
It is anticipated that data from the last patient enrolled in the study will be available in February 2020. Cyclo Therapeutics Inc. will then unblind the study results and analyze the data. Data from the current study combined with those of the companion Phase I/II study, nearing completion of enrollment in EU-Israel (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02912793), are expected to be used in the company’s market registration applications.
