A master protocol to investigate a novel therapy acetyl-l-leucine for three ultra-rare neurodegenerative diseases: Niemann-Pick type C, the GM2 gangliosidoses, and ataxia telangiectasia

T. Fields et al.

Summary: The lack of approved treatments for most rare diseases due to unique challenges in orphan drug development necessitates novel methodologies to expedite the approval of promising treatments. A new master protocol and primary outcome assessment were developed for three phase II trials investigating a modified amino acid in three ultra-rare neurodegenerative disorders, aiming to address high unmet medical needs of patients.

Acetyl-leucine slows disease progression in lysosomal storage disorders

Ecem Kaya et al.

Summary: Acetyl-DL-leucine shows improvement in diseases like Niemann-Pick disease, especially when acetyl-L-leucine is the neuroprotective enantiomer with potential mechanisms of action. Combination treatment with miglustat and acetyl-DL-leucine can have significant synergy, suitable for conditions like ataxia.
