Trial summary

Sialic Acid-Extended Release (SA-ER, aceneuramic acid, UX001) is an extended release formulation of sialic acid (SA, also known as N-acetylneuraminic acid or NANA). The SA-ER is currently studied as a substrate replacement therapy for patients with GNE myopathy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Sialic Acid-Extended Release (SA-ER) Tablets in Patients With GNE Related Thrombocytopenia

Sialic Acid-Extended Release (SA-ER, aceneuramic acid, UX001) is an extended release formulation of sialic acid (SA, also known as N-acetylneuraminic acid or NANA). The SA-ER is currently studied as a substrate replacement therapy for patients with GNE myopathy. The investigators plan to study the SA-ER compound in a cohort of five patients with GNE-related thrombocytopenia.

Read the detailed description

The investigators identified 5 affected individuals (3 males and 2 females from three families, age 19-40 years) with GNE-related thrombocytopenia . All subjects will receive 2 gram SA-ER, three times per day for a total daily dose of 6 grams (6,000 mg). The dose should be administered with food (i.e. within 30 minutes of a meal or snack).

Efficacy will be evaluated by improvement in clinical and laboratory assessments. Results from Baseline assessments will be compared with those of post-treatment assessments with efficacy conclusions based on improvement between Baseline and the last scheduled assessment. Safety will be evaluated by the incidence and frequency of adverse events, including clinically significant changes from Baseline to scheduled time points in:

  • Vital signs.
  • History and physical examination findings.
  • Laboratory evaluations.
  • Serum uric acid levels and urinary excretion of uric acid.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sialic Acid-Extended Release in people with Thrombocytopenia, run by Hadassah Medical Organization.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Increase in platelet count from baseline (time frame: 3 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jan 2018.
