Abstract
Arimoclomol (MIPLYFFA™), an oral small molecule that crosses the blood brain barrier and is thought to upregulate CLEAR (Coordinated Lysosomal Expression and Regulation) network genes and improve lysosomal function, is being developed by Zevra Therapeutics Inc., for the treatment of neurological manifestations of Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC). In September 2024, arimoclomol was approved for use in combination with miglustat for the treatment of neurological manifestations of NPC in adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older in the USA. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of arimoclomol leading to this first approval for use in combination with miglustat for the treatment of neurological manifestations of NPC in adult and pediatric patients aged ≥ 2 years.
