Study Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objective of the trial is to demonstrate the superiority of biotin at 300 mg/day over placebo in the clinical improvement (walking tests) of patients with adrenomyeloneuropathy
Detailed Description
AMN and progressive multiple sclerosis share some similarities including progressive spastic paraparesis and secondary energy failure leading to progressive axonal degeneration. Therefore, it was hypothesized that high doses of biotin might be efficient in patients with AMN.
