Trappsol^® Cyclo™ is Cyclo Therapeutics’ proprietary formulation of hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin and in multiple clinical studies has shown encouraging results to effectively manage the transportation of cholesterol. Taking the place of the defective NPC1 protein, Trappsol^® Cyclo™, with its cyclic structure, facilitates the transport of accumulated cholesterol out of cellular lysosomes so it can be further processed and excreted out of cells.

Trappsol^® Cyclo™ is currently being evaluated in a global Phase 3 pivotal trial, “TransportNPC,” for the potential treatment of Niemann-Pick Disease Type C1 (NPC), a rare, fatal and progressive genetic disorder. By the end of 2021, Cyclo Therapeutics will submit an IND to FDA for a Phase 2 trial with Trappsol^® Cyclo™ in Alzheimer’s disease, an irreversible, progressive neurological disorder, in which cholesterol is also implicated as a risk factor.
