Phase 3
Conditions
Friedreich Ataxia
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05515536
Lead Sponsor
PTC Therapeutics
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to assess the long-term safety of vatiquinone in participants with Friedreich ataxia (FA) previously exposed to vatiquinone.

Detailed Description

This long-term, open-label study will serve as a continued access study for participants with FA who have previously participated in a vatiquinone study. The purpose of this study is to assess continued safety and efficacy of vatiquinone dosing in previously treated participants. This study addresses the medical need for participants to continue vatiquinone with a planned study duration of 3 years.

VatiquinoneVatiquinoneParticipants with FA who were previously treated with vatiquinone at an investigational site and completed participation in a prior PTC Therapeutics (PTC)-sponsored clinical study will continue to receive the same dose/formulation of vatiquinone (unless there has been a change in age and/or weight that meets the criteria for a different dose/formulation as described below; dose/formulation will also be changed if participants meet the criteria for a different dose/formulation during study treatment): If \<7 years of age, participants will receive an oral solution (100 milligrams \[mg\]/milliliter \[mL\]) 3 times a day (TID) at one of the following doses: 15 mg/kilogram (kg) if body weight \<13 kg, or 200 mg if body weight ≥13 kg. If ≥7 years of age, participants will receive a capsule formulation (200 mg) orally TID at one of the following doses: 200 mg if body weight ˂25 kg, or 400 mg if body weight ≥25 kg.
