Inclusion criteria for patients age 0 to 3 years in open-label sub-study in countries following EMA guidance only: Confirmed diagnosis of NPC1; treated or not with Miglustat per main study; body weight greater than 4.5kg; patient may be asymptomatic; written assent for child to participate in safety assessments; caregiver consent to participate in caregiver assessments; ability to travel to the trial site for all scheduled visits. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Recipient of a liver transplant within \<12 months or planned liver transplantation 2. Patients with active liver disease from any cause other than NPC1 3.
