Rafael's Trappsol Cyclo missed the primary endpoint in its Phase III trial for Niemann-Pick disease type C but showed significant benefit in a key subgroup already receiving background treatment. Rafael plans to submit a New Drug Application to the US FDA in Q4 2026, relying on this and supportive data despite the overall trial miss.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Drug Discovery.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your path to NPC market entry just opened despite a trial miss. The FDA may accept subgroup evidence for approval, so prepare to engage on data framing and patient positioning now.
