[Inclusion Criteria]

  1. Subjects must be at least ≥ 18 years of age.
  2. Subjects should have a confirmed diagnosis of typical Werner syndrome by genetic analysis.
  3. Subjects should be osteopenic (T-score between -1.0 and -2.5) or have confirmed osteoporosis (T-score ≤ -2.5) at screening/baseline. Subjects may continue to receive bone supplements (e.g., bisphosphonates, calcium supplements, Vitamin D supplements, etc.) as appropriate per standard of care throughout the study.

  5. Subjects screening blood chemistry inclusive of metabolic panel, hematology, and urine analysis results should be acceptable to the investigator.
  6. Negative pregnancy test for female subjects as described below. Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) and Women not of child-bearing potential are eligible to participate. Both women of childbearing potential and women of non-child-bearing potential should use an approved method of birth control and agrees to continue to use this method for the duration of the study and for 90 days after last treatment. Acceptable methods of contraception include abstinence, female subject/partner's use of hormonal contraceptive (oral, implanted, or injected) in conjunction with a barrier method (WOCBP only), female subject/partner's use of an intrauterine device (IUD), or if the female subject/partner is surgically sterile or two years post-menopausal. All male subjects/partners must agree to use a In addition, subjects may not donate sperm for the duration of the study and for 90 days after last treatment. Females who are less than two (2) years post-menopausal, those with tubal ligations and those using contraception must have a negative serum pregnancy test at baseline within the one (1) week prior to the first study medication administration. Every six weeks, and at study termination a pregnancy test should be performed, either serum or urine stick test. However, if the urine result is positive, a serum pregnancy test will be performed.

  11. Pregnant or lactating women.
  12. Major surgery, defined as any surgical procedure that involves general anesthesia and a significant incision (i.e., larger than what is required for placement of central venous access, percutaneous feeding tube, or biopsy), within 28 days prior to baseline or anticipated surgery during the study period.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Progerinin for the Treatment of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Loss in Subjects With Typical Werner Syndrome

This is a Phase 2, open-label study to A Phase 2, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Progerinin for the Treatment of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Loss in Subjects with Typical Werner Syndrome.

There will be up to 5 subjects that will receive treatment with Progerinin twice daily for approximately 1 year.

Read the detailed description

Subjects who have successfully completed the Screening phase will enter the baseline and treatment phase of the study. Subjects will take the assigned treatment of Progerinin (2400 mg) split as 1200 mg BID in the morning and evening with food for 1-Year.

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Progerinin for the treatment of BMD loss in subjects with typical Werner syndrome.

The secondary objectives of this study are:

  • To characterize the activity of Progerinin on bone metabolism in subjects with typical Werner Syndrome.
  • To evaluate vascular function in subjects with typical Werner Syndrome.
  • To evaluate glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in subjects with typical Werner Syndrome.
  • To evaluate lipid metabolism in subjects with typical Werner Syndrome.
  • To evaluate physical function in subjects with typical Werner Syndrome.
  • To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Progerinin sachet administered twice daily (BID) in subjects with typical Werner Syndrome.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Progerinin in people with Werner Syndrome, run by PRG Science & Technology Co., Ltd. at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Christine Lee (301-540-2600, christinelee@kcrnresearch.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence and severity of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Baseline to Week 56 (including 4-week follow-up)). The study lists 20 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Oct 2026.
