Study Summary

This trial is testing a possible new treatment for PKAN, to see if it is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with PKAN, a neurodegenerative condition. Participants can be from 3 months to 89 years old and must be able to take the study product orally or via feeding tube. They need a confirmed diagnosis of PKAN through genetic testing or brain imaging, live in North America, and commit to study procedures. Those on similar treatments within the last month or in another clinical trial are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing CoA-Z against a placebo in individuals with PKAN. The goal is to determine if CoA-Z is safe, its effects on patients, and whether it alters disease measures. Participants will randomly receive either CoA-Z or an inactive substance (placebo) for comparison.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of CoA-Z aren't listed here, common ones may include allergic reactions, gastrointestinal issues like nausea or diarrhea, headaches, fatigue, and potential interactions with other medications.
