Summary

Primary Objectives:

Primary population (adult participants with late-onset GM2 gangliosidosis): To assess the efficacy and pharmacodynamics (PD) of daily oral dosing of venglustat when administered over a 104-week period

Secondary population (participants with juvenile/adolescent late-onset GM2 gangliosidosis, GM1 gangliosidosis, saposin C deficiency, sialidosis type 1 or juvenile/adult galactosialidosis): To assess PD response (plasma and CSF GL-1 biomarker and disease specific biomarkers) of venglustat when administered once daily over a 104-week period

Secondary Objectives:

Primary population:

* To assess the PD of daily oral dosing of venglustat and the effect of venglustat on selected performance test and scale over a 104-week period
* To determine the safety and tolerability of venglustat when administered orally once daily over a 104-week period
* To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of venglustat in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

Secondary population:

* To assess the effect of venglustat on selected performance tests and scale over a 104-week period
* To determine the safety and tolerability of venglustat when administered once daily over a 104-week period
* To assess the PK of venglustat in plasma and CSF
* To assess the acceptability and palatability of the venglustat tablet
