- Five presentations will showcase nizubaglustat’s therapeutic potential in Lysosomal Storage Disorders.
- Nizubaglustat is currently being tested in two global Phase 3 studies for Niemann-Pick type C disease and GM1/GM2 gangliosidoses which are currently recruiting.
- Azafaros will host a satellite symposium on nizubaglustat on Day 2 of the symposium discussing the Phase 3 studies.
- WORLDSymposium™ 2026 takes place from February 2 to 6 in San Diego, California.
Azafaros, a company building a portfolio to become a leader in lysosomal storage disorders with the goal of addressing neurological symptoms, today announced that its lead asset, nizubaglustat, will feature in five scientific presentations accepted at the WORLDSymposium™ 2026, the leading global conference on lysosomal diseases, taking place in San Diego, California, USA between February 2-6.

- Nizubaglustat reinstates pro-neuronal transcriptional programs in human CLN3 retinal organoidson February 6 (Rapid Fire session) highlighting nizubaglustat as a promising candidate for further preclinical and clinical development in CLN3 Batten disease.
Satellite Symposium on Nizubaglustat Phase 3 Study NAVIGATE
- Azafaros will host a satellite symposium entitled “The value of conducting an 18-month placebo-controlled study in Rare Diseases: GM1, GM2 and NPC; the NAVIGATE experience” on February 3 at 17:45 PT, creating an opportunity to engage key opinion leaders, healthcare professionals and patient advocacy organizations.
Poster Presentations:
- February 4:
- Participation in clinical trials for neurological lysosomal disease: Patient and family perspectives – Poster number 129, highlighting patient and caregiver experiences.
- February 5:
- A prospective natural history study for GM1 and GM2: 24-month data from the PRONTO study – Poster number 132, providing insights into disease progression in GM1 and GM2 gangliosidoses.
- A Phase III study to evaluate the efficacy of nizubaglustat on GM1, GM2, and Niemann-Pick Type C diseases (NAVIGATE) – Poster number 230, outlining the design and objectives of this pivotal trial.
“We are proud to again be able to present our research at the prestigious WORLDSymposium™ 2026 conference, and in particular to showcase the promise of our lead product nizubaglustat,” said Stefano Portolano, Chief Executive Officer at Azafaros. “We strongly believe nizubaglustat has great potential to become a new therapeutic treatment for lysosomal storage disorders, in particular Niemann-Pick Type C disease and GM1 and GM2 Gangliosidoses, where there is a strong unmet medical need.
“Several sites are currently recruiting across key countries in the EU, India, and the US as part of our Phase 3 program, and we look forward to advancing both studies in collaboration with the global medical community and patient associations to bring new treatment solutions to patients.”
