Inventor(s):	Michael Strupp
Assignee:	Intrabio Ltd
Application Number:	US18/430,858
Patent Claims:	1. A method of treating a lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) or one or more symptoms associated with the LSD in a subject in need thereof comprising: administering a therapeutically effective amount of acetyl-leucine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to the subject for a duration of at least about 3 months, wherein the LSD is chosen from Niemann-Pick type C disease, Tay-Sachs disease, the AB variant of Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, Niemann-Pick type A disease, Niemann-Pick type B disease, Fabry disease, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses, Krabbe disease, Farber disease, Gaucher disease, metachromatic leukodystrophy, multiple sulphatase deficiency, mucolipidosis II, mucolipidosis III, MPS III, MPS VII, GM1 gangliosidosis, and aspartylglucosaminuria, and wherein the subject achieves an improved Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) assessment compared to before administration. 2. A method of delaying progression of a lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) or more symptoms associated with the LSD over time as compared to typical disease progression in a subject in need thereof comprising: administering a therapeutically effective amount of acetyl-leucine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to the subject for a duration chosen from of at least about 3 months, wherein the LSD is chosen from Niemann-Pick type C disease, Tay-Sachs disease, the AB variant of Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, Niemann-Pick type A disease, Niemann-Pick type B disease, Fabry disease, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses, Krabbe disease, Farber disease, Gaucher disease, metachromatic leukodystrophy, multiple sulphatase deficiency, mucolipidosis II, mucolipidosis III, MPS III, MPS VII, GM1 gangliosidosis, and aspartylglucosaminuria, and wherein the subject achieves an improved Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) assessment compared to before administration. 3. A method of reversing progression of a lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) or one or more symptoms associated with the LSD over time in a subject in need thereof comprising: administering a therapeutically effective amount of acetyl-leucine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to the subject for a duration of at least about 3 months, wherein the LSD is chosen from Niemann-Pick type C disease, Tay-Sachs disease, the AB variant of Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, Niemann-Pick type A disease, Niemann-Pick type B disease, Fabry disease, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses, Krabbe disease, Farber disease, Gaucher disease, metachromatic leukodystrophy, multiple sulphatase deficiency, mucolipidosis II, mucolipidosis III, MPS III, MPS VIL, GM1 gangliosidosis, and aspartylglucosaminuria, and wherein the subject achieves an improved Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) assessment compared to before administration. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acetyl-leucine is acetyl-DL-leucine. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acetyl-leucine has an enantiomeric excess of the L-enantiomer or the D-enantiomer. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acetyl-leucine is in a single enantiomeric form of either the L-enantiomer or the D-enantiomer. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the single enantiomeric form is the L-enantiomer. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method comprises administering the acetyl-leucine to the subject in need thereof at a therapeutically effective amount from about 1 g to about 15 g per day. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the LSD is chosen from Niemann-Pick type A disease, Niemann-Pick type B disease, and Niemann-Pick type C disease. 10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the method comprises administering the acetyl-leucine to the subject in need thereof at a therapeutically effective amount from about 1 g to about 10 g per day. 11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the LSD is chosen from Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, Niemann-Pick type A disease, Niemann-Pick type C disease, mucolipidosis II, MPS III, and GM1 gangliosidosis. 12. The method according to claim 1, wherein the subject achieved at least 1 point improvement in the SARA assessment compared to before administration. 13. The method according to claim 1, wherein the subject achieves an improvement in one or more assessments chosen from functional SARA (fSARA), Spinocerebella Ataxia Functional Index (SCAFI), Modified Disability Rating Scale (mRDS), Niemann Pick Type-C Clinical Severity Scale (NPC-CSS), 5-domain NPC-CSS, and EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (5Q-5D-5L) questionnaire, compared to before administration. 14. The method according to claim 2, wherein the therapeutically effective amount of acetyl-leucine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof ranges from about 1 g to about 15 g per day. 15. The method according to claim 2, wherein the LSD is chosen from Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, Niemann-Pick type A disease, Niemann-Pick type C disease, mucolipidosis II, MPS III, and GM1 gangliosidosis. 16. The method according to claim 2, wherein the subject achieved at least 1 point improvement in the SARA assessment compared to before administration. 17. The method according to claim 2, wherein the subject achieves an improvement in one or more assessments chosen from functional SARA (fSARA), Spinocerebella Ataxia Functional Index (SCAFI), Modified Disability Rating Scale (mRDS), Niemann Pick Type-C Clinical Severity Scale (NPC-CSS), 5-domain NPC-CSS, and EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (5Q-5D-5L) questionnaire, compared to before administration. 18. The method according to claim 3, wherein the therapeutically effective amount of acetyl-leucine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof ranges from about 1 g to about 15 g per day. 19. The method according to claim 3, wherein the LSD is chosen from Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, Niemann-Pick type A disease, Niemann-Pick type C disease, mucolipidosis II, MPS III, and GM1 gangliosidosis. 20. The method according to claim 3, wherein the subject achieved at least 1 point improvement in the SARA assessment compared to before administration. 21. The method according to claim 3, wherein the subject achieves an improvement in one or more assessments chosen from functional SARA (fSARA), Spinocerebella Ataxia Functional Index (SCAFI), Modified Disability Rating Scale (mRDS), Niemann Pick Type-C Clinical Severity Scale (NPC-CSS), 5-domain NPC-CSS, and EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (5Q-5D-5L) questionnaire, compared to before administration. 22. The method according to claim 1, wherein the LSD is Niemann-Pick type C disease. 23. The method according to claim 2, wherein the LSD is Niemann-Pick type C disease. 24. The method according to claim 3, wherein the LSD is Niemann-Pick type C disease. 25. The method according to claim 13, wherein the assessment is a functional SARA (fSARA) assessment. 26. The method according to claim 17, wherein the assessment is a functional SARA (fSARA) assessment. 27. The method according to claim 21, wherein the assessment is a functional SARA (fSARA) assessment.
