Official title
An Open-Label Phase 2 Study of ManNAc in Subjects With GNE Myopathy
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Background: Patients with GNE myopathy have progressive muscle weakness and can have difficulty walking and decreased mobility. The disease is a rare genetic disorder that results from a gene mutation in a key step in the body's production of a sugar called sialic acid, (also called N-acetylneuraminic acid, Neu5Ac). Researchers think decreased sialic acid bound to muscle proteins may be the cause of muscle wasting in GNE myopathy. Researchers are testing the drug ManNAc which is a precursor in the production of sialic acid within cells. ManNAc is provided as a powder dissolved in water to be administered orally.
