Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Children and adolescents age 4 years and older with a confirmed diagnosis of late‑infantile or juvenile‑onset Niemann‑Pick C, GM1, or GM2 gangliosidosis who meet the disease‑specific subprotocol criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with adult‑onset disease, very advanced irreversible neurological damage, or who do not meet subprotocol eligibility (including specific medical exclusions) are unlikely to receive benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies

This randomized, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled Phase 3 Master Protocol tests oral nizubaglustat (AZ‑3102) over 18 months in participants with late‑infantile or juvenile NPC, GM1, or GM2 gangliosidosis. Participants are assigned to disease‑specific subprotocols and randomized to receive active drug or placebo, with detailed procedures and endpoints defined per subprotocol. The study is multicenter and includes planned safety monitoring, efficacy assessments, and disease‑specific outcome measures. Specific eligibility and exclusion criteria differ by subprotocol and are described in the corresponding clinicaltrials.gov records.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, nizubaglustat could slow neurodegeneration and help preserve neurological function and quality of life in affected children and adolescents.

How similar studies have gone: Related substrate‑reduction therapies such as miglustat have shown mixed or limited benefits in NPC and are less established for GM1/GM2, so the approach has some precedent but remains incompletely proven.
