(NASDAQ:CDXC), the global authority on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and healthy aging research, today announced that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) and Rare Pediatric Disease (RPD) Designation for NRC, the company’s product candidate for the treatment of Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT). Plans are underway to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the U.S. FDA in anticipation of conducting human clinical trials, which will be guided by Dr. Vilhelm (Will) Bohr, Prof., University of Copenhagen and Scientific Advisor to ChromaDex. “Over 30 million people in the U.S. are impacted by more than 7,000 rare diseases, many of which are life-threatening and lack effective treatments,” said Rob Fried, CEO of ChromaDex. “We believe NRC has potential as a treatment for AT.” “AT is a condition where children suffer from the adverse effects of premature aging and face a very limited life expectancy,” said Dr. Andrew Shao, ChromaDex Senior Vice President of Global Scientific & Regulatory Affairs. “We are excited to continue supporting the AT community and eagerly anticipate the results from future research.” About Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT) Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT) is a rare, progressive disease that typically presents in early childhood and is characterized by neurological and immunological symptoms. Those with AT often exhibit an unsteady gait (ataxia), impaired coordination of eye movements (oculomotor apraxia), and involuntary movements (choreoathetosis). AT leads to cerebellar degeneration and many affected children become wheelchair-dependent. Currently, there is no cure or FDA-approved treatment to slow the progression of AT, with the average life expectancy being around 25 years for those diagnosed in childhood. There are many types of ataxia. Another form of ataxia is Friedreich’s ataxia (FA), which is being addressed by Biogen and Larimar Therapeutics. FA impacts 1 in 50,000 people in the U.S. (NIH). Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT) impacts roughly 1 in 40,000 people in the U.S. (Riboldi et al., 2023; Tieve et al., 2015). Clinical Research on NRC and AT To date, NRC has been investigated in two third-party funded, peer-reviewed published clinical trials for the treatment of AT. The first study published in Movement Disorders demonstrated that supplementation with NRC improved AT scores and increased immunoglobulins, or antibodies, in the immune-compromised patients, with AT score improvements reversing once supplementation concluded (Veenhius et al., 2021). The second phase II two-year long study, also published in Movement Disorders, demonstrated that long-term NRC supplementation increased whole blood NAD+ levels up to fourfold, and improved neuromotor coordination and eye movements in 90% of participants while maintaining biomarkers of stable liver and kidney function, as compared to historical disease progression (Presterud et al., 2023). Both studies reported no serious adverse events, with NRC being generally well-tolerated. Not associated with ChromaDex’s future NRC IND filing, there are two additional investigator-initiated ongoing registered clinical trials that will examine NR supplementation in AT patients. The first is a continuation of Presterud et al. 2023 and will track AT patients over the course of 8-10 years. Recently registered, the second will be a single-arm open-label clinical trial scheduled to commence this year in Australia. Significance of Orphan Drug Designation (OOD) and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPD) According to the FDA, there are too few treatments for rare diseases because of high research and development costs, which companies often cannot recoup as a result of small patient populations. To incentivize companies to invest in bringing treatments to market for rare diseases, in 1983, Congress passed the Orphan Drug Act, which makes Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) candidates eligible for tax credits, waives their user fees, and may provide a period of exclusivity should the orphan drug be subsequently approved by FDA. Related to ODD, the FDA’s Rare Pediatric Disease (RPD) designation, further incentivizes companies to invest in rare childhood diseases by providing a voucher program to applicants approved by September 30th, 2024. Through this program, companies with RPD designation that ultimately obtain successful drug approval for a rare pediatric disease are provided a voucher, which can be used to expedite the FDA review of another drug candidate or sold to other companies. Future Clinical Trials on NRC and AT With both designations granted, ChromaDex plans to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for future human clinical trials for the use of NRC in the treatment of AT. As a leading expert on the cell biology and biochemistry of AT, Dr. Bohr will serve ChromaDex as an advisor through this process. Dr. Bohr remarked, “This is a significant step towards providing treatment for AT, a disease with no cure. It is an honor to work as an advisor on such pivotal research, and we are committed to advancing the science behind NRC to meet the urgent needs of this rare disease community.” “We are excited at the thought of embarking on these important future clinical trials for NRC as we are committed to advancing this to provide hope and relief for those suffering from this debilitating disease,” commented Dr. Susan Perlman, MD, Clinical Professor of Neurology and Director of the Ataxia Center at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, and ChromaDex Clinical Consultant.
