About this trial

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous nomlabofusp in adult and pediatric subjects with Friedreich's ataxia

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Subject must provide genetically confirmed FRDA diagnosis report and is homozygous for GAA repeat expansions documented on the genetic diagnostic report, with repeat sizing (if available).

Subject must complete 1 trial at Screening and 1 trial at Day -1 of the T25-FW test, using their customary assistive device (e.g., cane, 2 canes/crutches [Canadian crutches], wheeled walker/rollator or canine assistance) if needed. Each trial must be completed within 3 minutes.

Item #E1, Sitting Posture - no more than a maximum score of 2

Item #E2A, Stance Feet Apart - no more than a maximum score of 2 (average of 3 attempts)

Disqualifiers

Subject who is confirmed as compound heterozygous (GAA repeat expansion on only 1 allele) for FRDA.

Subject previously participated in a clinical trial involving nomlabofusp. Participation is defined as the subject having signed the informed consent for the study and received at least 1 dose of study drug (nomlabofusp or placebo).

The subject has any condition, disease, or situation that could confound the results of the study or put the subject at undue risk, making participation inadvisable in the opinion of the PI.

Women of childbearing potential who are pregnant (have a positive pregnancy test at Screening or Day -1), lactating, or planning to attempt to become pregnant during this study or within 90 days after the last dose of study drug (this includes male subjects with partners of childbearing potential who are attempting to become pregnant).

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Nomlabofusp

    Drug

    Nomlabofusp is a recombinant fusion protein provided in a sterile, preservative-free buffered solution for subcutaneous injection intended to deliver human frataxin, the protein deficient in Friedreich's ataxia.

  • Placebo

    Drug

    The placebo is a sterile, preservative-free, clear liquid for subcutaneous injection.

Treatment groups

150 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: NomlabofuspExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: PlaceboPlacebo comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change from baseline in Upright Stability Score (USS) subscale E of modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) at Week 72 (Region-specific)

Number - The USS has a score range from 0 to 36. Lower scores mean less impairment and higher scores mean greater neurological impairment.

Time frame
Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 72
2

Change from baseline in the total modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) at Week 72 (Region-specific)

Number - The mFARS has a total score range from 0 to 93. Lower scores mean less impairment and higher scores mean greater neurological impairment.

Time frame
Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 72

Secondary outcomes

1

Change from baseline in the Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) score at Week 72

Number - The CGI-S is a 7-point scale. Lower scores mean less impairment and higher scores mean greater neurological impairment.

Time frame
Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 72
