About this study

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of treatment with NNZ-2591 oral solution, 50mg/L, in children and adolescents with Angelman syndrome. The secondary purpose is to investigate measures of efficacy of subjects will receive treatment of 50mg/mL orally administered NNZ-2591 for a total of 13 weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety and Tolerability

    Time frame: 13 weeks

    To examine the incidence, severity and frequency of adverse events (AEs), including serious adverse events (SAEs) during treatment with NNZ-2591.

  2. Pharmacokinetic - Typical AUC24 of 30kg Child

    Time frame: 13 weeks

    Area under the concentration-time curve of NNZ-2591 over 24 hours

  3. Pharmacokinetic - Typical t1/2 in 30 kg Child

    Time frame: 13 weeks

    Apparent terminal elimination half-life of NNZ-2591

Secondary outcomes

    Time frame: 13 weeks

    Assessed by Angelman syndrome-specific Clinical Global Impression Scale-Overall Improvement (CGI-I). Score on a Likert scale (1-7) where lower scores are better

  2. Caregiver Impression of Improvement : Overall Score

    Time frame: 13 weeks

    Caregiver Impression of Improvement: Overall Score. Measured on a 7-point Likert scale (1-7) where lower scores are better.

  3. Angelman syndrome-specific Clinical Global Impression Scale - Severity (CGI-S): Overall Score

    Time frame: 13 weeks

    Angelman syndrome-specific Clinical Global Impression Scale-Severity (CGI-S): Change from baseline on overall score based on a 7-point Likert scale (1-7) where lower scores are better.

  4. Angelman syndrome Clinician Domain Specific Rating Scale (AS-DSRS)

    Time frame: 13 weeks

    Angelman syndrome Clinician Domain Specific Rating Scale (AS-DSRS). Change from baseline in total score based on a 5-point Likert scale (0-4) where lower scores are better.

  5. Caregiver Top 3 Concerns

    Time frame: 13 weeks

    Caregiver Top 3 Concerns: Change from baseline in Average Concerns Severity.
