Zusammenfassung der Studie

The purpose of this study is to determine whether IB1001, after a 12-week treatment compared to a 12-week treatment with a placebo, can help in Ataxia-Telangiectasia. A placebo looks like a medication but contains no active ingredient, allowing for a better assessment of the effects and side effects of a new medication compared to the placebo. This study is divided into 3 study phases: Screening, Treatment Period I, and Treatment Period II. For some patients, an additional run-in phase may be necessary if prohibited medications are taken. In all study phases, examinations are conducted to check the health status and the effect of the study medication. This includes clinical assessments, blood samples, urine samples, ECGs, filling out some questionnaires, and answering questions. The total study duration, including the screening period, will be 26 weeks. For participants taking a prohibited medication, the total study duration will be 32 weeks. During participation in the study, 6 or 7 visit appointments will take place at the trial center. Each of the visit appointments can last up to 6 hours. Participants will be randomly assigned to the study medication to be taken during the first 12 weeks of treatment (Period I) (either IB1001 or placebo). After the completion of Period I, Period II begins immediately. At the start of Period II, participants switch to treatment with the other study medication (either IB1001 or placebo). After the study, there is a possibility that participants may be invited to participate in a 1-year open-label extension phase of the study. This participation is optional. Participants who do not take part in the optional extension phase will receive a follow-up phone call within 14 days after the last examination appointment.

Untersuchte Intervention

This study is a double-blind, randomized crossover study in which all patients will be treated with both IB1001 and placebo during the study.

In the study, patients are 'randomized' (by chance) into two groups. This randomization is important to obtain reliable results from the study.

- Group 1 receives up to 4 g of IB1001 daily for 12 weeks during Treatment Period I and then placebo for 12 weeks during Treatment Period II.

- Group 2 receives placebo for 12 weeks during Treatment Period I and then 12 weeks of IB1001 during Treatment Period II.

'Crossover' means that after receiving the first study medication (IB1001 or placebo) up to 4 g daily for 12 weeks in Treatment Period I, you immediately switch to the other study medication (IB1001 or placebo) for 12 weeks in Treatment Period II.

 

Participants who wish to participate in the planned open-label extension phase after the study will receive up to 4 g of IB1001 daily for one year.

Ausschlusskriterien
1. Patients with a known hypersensitivity or history of hypersensitivity to: a. Acetyl-Leucine (DL-, L-, D-) or derivatives. b. Drug carrier substances in the IB1001 dosing bag (namely Isomalt, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, and strawberry flavor). c. Drug carrier substances in the placebo dosing bag (namely Isomalt, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, strawberry flavor, citric acid, microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, denatonium benzoate). 2. Simultaneous participation in another clinical study or participation in any clinical study involving the administration of the investigational medicinal product (IMP, investigational product) in the 42 days prior to Visit 1 is an exclusion criterion. At the discretion of the investigator, medical monitor, and sponsor, the washout period for certain investigational products may be longer based on their pharmacological activity and pharmacokinetics. 3. Patients whose physical, cognitive, or mental condition poses a risk to the patient at the discretion of the investigator and in consultation with the medical monitor and (if applicable) sponsor.
