摘要
BackgroundSupplementation of nicotinamide riboside (NR) ameliorates neuropathology in animal models of ataxia telangiectasia (A-T). In humans, short-term NR supplementation showed benefits in neurological outcome.ObjectivesThe study aimed to investigate the safety and benefits of long-term NR supplementation in individuals with A-T.MethodsA single-arm, open-label clinical trial was performed in individuals with A-T, receiving NR over a period of 2 years. Biomarkers and clinical examinations were used to assess safety parameters. Standardized and validated neuromotor tests were used to monitor changes in neurological symptoms. Using generalized mixed models, test results were compared to expected disease progression based on historical data.ResultsNAD+ concentrations increased rapidly in peripheral blood and stabilized at a higher level than baseline. NR supplementation was well tolerated for most participants. The total scores in the neuromotor test panels, as evaluated at the 18-month time point, improved for all but one participant, primarily driven by improvements in coordination subscores and eye movements. A comparison with historical data revealed that the progression of certain neuromotor symptoms was slower than anticipated.ConclusionsLong-term use of NR appears to be safe and well tolerated, and it improves motor coordination and eye movements in patients with A-T of all ages.
