An Open Label Phase 2 Extension Study of Higher Dose Sialic Acid-Extended Release (SA-ER) Tablets and Sialic Acid-Immediate Release (SA-IR) Capsules in Patients With Glucosamine (UDP-N-acetyl)-2-Epimerase (GNE) Myopathy

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: GNE Myopathy, Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy (HIBM)

In brief

The safety objectives of the study are to: evaluate additional long-term safety of SA-ER treatment of participants with GNE myopathy previously treated with SA-ER at dose of 6g/day (Part I); evaluate the safety of 12g /day SA (delivered by 1.5g of SA-ER tablets and 1.5g of SA-IR capsules 4 times per day) in the treatment of participants with GNE myopathy (Part II) over a 6 month treatment period; evaluate the safety of SA treatment at both 6g/day and 12 g/day (Part III \[SA-ER/SA-IR\] and Part IV \[SA-ER\]).
