Filter by:This is a multi-centre, multi-national, prospective, observational study of Friedreich's Ataxia (FRDA) with a control group to: - obtain natural history data on individuals affected by FRDA - relate clinical assessments and results from proteomic analyses - expedite identification and recruitment of participants for clinical trials - develop and validate sensitive and reliable outcome measures for detecting onset and change over the natural course of FRDA which may also be potential outcome measures for use in future clinical trials and clinical care - plan for future research studies
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of EPI-743 in patients with Friedreich's Ataxia point mutations
The purpose of this study is to learn how treatment with acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) will affect the hearts of patients with Friedreich's Ataxia as well as how it may affect other symptoms of Friedreich's Ataxia such as difficulties with balance, walking, or upper arm function.
The objectives of the study are: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple oral doses of VP 20629 in subjects with Friedreich's ataxia (FA). [Primary] - To characterize the pharmacokinetics of VP 20629 by investigation of the plasma concentration-time profile following single and multiple oral doses in subjects with FA. [Secondary] - To investigate the pharmacodynamic effects of VP 20629 on plasma 8-isoprostane and malondialdehyde and urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine concentrations following multiple oral doses in subjects with FA. [Exploratory]
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of EPI-743 on visual function and neurologic function in patients with Friedreich's ataxia.
This is a Phase IIIb Double-Blind, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Study. The aim is to further investigate the effects of idebenone in patients with Friedreich's ataxia. The objective of the PROTI study is to establish whether patients can correctly determine which treatment assignment (placebo or idebenone) they received during the randomised phase of the trial, and identify any potential changes on symptoms or activities.
This is a Phase 2a double-blind, placebo-controlled study with two dose levels of A0001 given twice daily for 28 days. Potential subjects will be screened first to determine eligibility, after which they will be randomized to receive either a high dose of A0001, a low dose of A0001 or placebo for 28 days. Eligible subjects will return within 21 days of screening for the baseline visit and randomization to one of three potential treatments. The subjects will be required to take 3 capsules of study medication in the morning with a morning meal and 3 capsules of study medication at night with an evening meal for 28 days. Additional visits to the clinic are planned for Day 14 and Day 28, at which time a number of clinical and biochemical assessments will be done.
The primary purpose of the study is to determine whether carbamylated erythropoietin is a safe treatment for patients who suffer from Friedreich's Ataxia.
The purpose of this trial is to study the efficacy, safety and tolerability of idebenone in 12 months of treatment in children and adults with Friedreich's Ataxia. This is a randomised placebo-controlled double-blind trial conducted in Europe. Efficacy outcomes include measures of neurological impairment and function, and measures of the heart.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of deferiprone in subjects with Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA). The secondary objective is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of deferiprone for the treatment of FRDA. The tertiary objectives are to evaluate the effect of deferiprone on: 1. cardiac function, 2. quality of life, and 3. functional status.
