Managing NPC requires specialized care
Not a real patient.
Niemann-Pick disease, type C (NPC), is a rare condition that often requires coordination across multiple specialties.1
NPC care takes a team1
A multidisciplinary team can provide the most comprehensive care that patients with NPC need.1
A multidisciplinary care team may include:
- Pediatric neurologists
- Metabolic disease specialists
- Medical geneticists/genetic counselors
- Neuro-ophthalmologists
- Nutritionists/gastroenterologists
- Neuropsychologists
- Speech and language therapists
- Anesthesiologists

Treatment options for NPC are expanding1,2
Approved treatment options
There are approved treatment options available for neurological symptoms of NPC, including:
*Miglustat is not approved as a monotherapy for NPC in the United States but may be prescribed off-label.1,3-5
NEW THERAPIES BEING STUDIED
Researchers are also studying new treatments that work differently to address NPC. Other therapies are currently in development in ongoing clinical trials.1
Treatment options continue to grow as we learn more about NPC.1 Staying informed supports families and care teams in making treatment decisions together.
ORDER GENETIC TESTING AT NO COST
Beren will provide patients meeting certain eligibility criteria with sponsored whole genome sequencing and familial variant testing.
