that of completed phases
Cyclo Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CYTH) (“Cyclo Therapeutics” or
the “Company”), a clinical stage biotechnology company dedicated to
developing life-changing medicines through science and innovation
for patients and families living with diseases, today announced the
presentation of positive preliminary data from its ongoing pivotal
Phase 3 study (“TransportNPC™”) and substudy evaluating Trappsol®
Cyclo™ for the treatment of Niemann-Pick Disease Type C1 (NPC1).
The data were presented in two poster presentations at the SSIEM
Annual Symposium 2024 being held September 3-6, 2024 in Porto,
Portugal.
The TransportNPC™ study is the most comprehensive controlled
pivotal study regarding patient size, global footprint, duration
and clinical outcomes of an investigational therapy for NPC1. The
study completed enrollment in May 2024. Additionally, the Company
completed enrollment with ten (10) patients in a substudy per the
adopted Paediatric Investigational Plan (PIP) treating newborn to 3
years of age. The substudy is evaluating Trappsol® Cyclo™ in the
youngest age groups, focusing on its ability to target the visceral
aspects of the disease. Administering treatment early in the
disease course may lead to the most optimal results and could
potentially have a preventative effect on overall symptom
development.
“We are incredibly pleased with the progress made in our pivotal
TransportNPC™ trial. These findings continue to underscore the
potential of Trappsol® Cyclo™ to address a devastating disease with
significant unmet need. We are committed to getting this important,
global program across the finish line and are extremely hopeful for
the interim data readout expected in H1 2025,” commented N. Scott
Fine, CEO of Cyclo Therapeutics.
Professor Caroline Hastings, MD, Global Principal Investigator
for the Company’s ongoing TransportNPC™ study, added, “We continue
to believe Trappsol® Cyclo™ has the potential to provide a
transformational impact for all people living with NPC. We are
highly encouraged by these preliminary safety data and believe
Trappsol® Cyclo could address the systemic and neurological
symptoms of NPC which is considered the holy grail for the NPC
community.”
A summary of key highlights from the poster presentations are as
follows:
TRANSPORTNPC™: Phase 3 global trial of intravenous
hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) in patients three years of
age or older with Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (NPC1)
The Company’s ongoing Phase 3 study (96-week, double-blind,
placebo-controlled) (TransportNPC™) will evaluate change in
5D-NPC-CSS (ambulation, fine motor, speech, swallow, cognition)
between Trappsol® Cyclo™ and placebo as primary endpoint for the
EU. A total of 104 patients have been enrolled into the study and
substudy, the majority of patients enrolled fall within the ASIS
score limits targeted (0.5 to 2.0) with the average ASIS at
recruitment was 1.04; average age at inclusion was 20.2 years (3 –
65 years). Average participation time in the blinded phase of the
study is 44 weeks as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, six
patients terminated study participation before week 96; following
protocol, six patients switched to open-label Trappsol® Cyclo™
before week 96 due to disease worsening.
Safety and Tolerability Highlights:
- A total of 625 Adverse Events (AEs) were reported, 80% were
Grade 1 (mild) in severity most related to underlying NPC disease;
Grade 2 were 16.7%, and Grade 3 (Severe) were 5.3%
- 9 Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) reported, possibly related or
related to treatment
- One patient death unrelated to study-drug
- No patients have withdrawn due to safety concerns
- Safety profile found consistent with that of completed
studies
Topline data from the 48-week interim analysis is anticipated
for H1 2025. Should the 48-week interim data meet statistical
significance, the Company, in alignment with the FDA and EMA,
intends to submit marketing applications for approval based on the
48-week interim data.
TRANSPORTNPC™: Phase 3 global trial of intravenous
hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) in patients with
Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) – open label sub-study in
patients below 3 years of age
The goal of the substudy is to evaluate the safety of biweekly
IV Trappsol® Cyclo™ (HPβCD) (2000 mg/kg) for 192 weeks in very
young patients (birth to ≤ 3 years), in order to obtain descriptive
data regarding safety, global severity, and improvement in response
to HPβCD from investigators and patients/caregivers. Ten patients
were recruited, of which two terminated the study after 48
weeks.
Safety and Tolerability Highlights:
- AE profile is in line with prior findings from compassionate
use, from earlier studies, and from a double-blind Phase 3 study
running in parallel
- Overall, AEs are limited (87), majority are mild (73%) or
moderate (17%) and 1 AE severe; most considered unrelated to study
drug
- No SAEs were considered as related to or possibly related to
study drug
- At baseline patients had a mixture of very mild to severe
disease based on CGI
- Progress in patients with neurological symptoms from the early
pediatric age is understood to be more rapid than in patients with
late pediatric, juvenile, or even adult neurological onset of NPC
(Yanjanin, 2010; Vanier, 2010). Disease progression is carefully
monitored throughout duration of the study.
The substudy has completed enrollment and the treatment has been
well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with prior studies,
including the larger TransportNPC™ study. In addition to the
clinical endpoints, this study will provide additional critical
information to address the concept of early intervention and
prevention of disease progression. By the first half of 2025, all
currently enrolled patients will have completed at least 48 weeks
of treatment; Three patients will likely have completed 96 weeks of
treatment. This will be the first data in NPC1 on treatment in this
age group over a period of 48 weeks.
