Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disease with an incidence of 1/50,000 in the Caucasian population. The main manifestations of FA are progressive sensory and cerebellar ataxia and cardiomyopathy (CM). It is the most common form of inherited ataxia. A severe CM affects ~60% of FA patients, mostly young adults, and leads to cardiac failure then death. Currently, no therapy can change the course of this severe cardiomyopathy. This study is designed to characterize the cardiac manifestations of FA using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), echocardiography, serum cardiac biomarkers and evaluation of fatigue severity, in the context of the neurological disease.
The purpose of this long term extension study is to evaluate the long-term safety of ACTIMMUNE® (interferon-γ 1b) in participants with Friedreich's Ataxia (FA).
This 24-week study will test the safety and effectiveness of synthetically produced (+) Epicatechin in treating patients who have Friedreich's Ataxia, a neurological disorder.
The purpose of this phase 3 multi-center, open-label extension study is to evaluate the long-term safety of ACTIMMUNE® (interferon-γ 1b) in participants with Friedreich's Ataxia.
The purpose of this project is to characterize measures of cardiac performance and neuromuscular physiology in FA patients using novel techniques, including echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), metabolic exercise testing, and neurophysiological outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of RT001 in patients with Friedreich's ataxia.
The purpose of this phase 3 randomized, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ACTIMMUNE® (interferon-γ 1b) in the treatment of Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) and to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of ACTIMMUNE® in FA patients.
Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by loss of coordination and cardiomyopathy. It is the most common form of inherited ataxia with an incidence in 1/50,000 in the Caucasian population. FRDA is associated with progressive damage to the nervous system, resulting in symptoms ranging from gait disturbance to speech problems, as well as diabetes and heart disease. The heart disease manifests as cardiomyopathy, and is responsible for approximately 60% of deaths from FRDA. This study is designed to characterize the cardiac manifestations of the disease using exercise, MRI, ECHO and serum parameters, in the context of the neurological disease. In addition, this study will demonstrate that corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) may also provide a biomarker for FRDA.
The objectives of this study are: - To validate the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of a new scale for the assessment of ataxia and neurologic dysfunction (STAND) - To assess common constructs and correlation between STAND subscale items.
