A Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of ATI-105 in Healthy Adults

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how ATI-105 administered to healthy participants at works in the body at different doses and with or without food. The outcomes of this clinical trial will help to determine if ATI-105 may be able to treat patients with Friedreich's ataxia, a rare and life-threatening nerve-muscle disease that worsens over time. The main questions this study is designed to answer include the following: * How do single doses or doses for 14 days work in the body? * Are these doses safe and tolerated? * Should ATI-105 be taken with or without food? Some participants will receive a placebo, which is an inactive substance, so the drug can be compared against it. This will help researchers determine if the drug is tolerated by participants, if there are adverse effects, and how the drug acts in the body and if there are any changes. The study will include some participants who will be assigned by chance to receive an inactive substance (placebo) that appears like the active drug product. Qualifying participants who enroll into the first of two study portions will randomly be assigned to one of three dose groups to receive a single dose of ATI-105 or a placebo. Some of the participants will receive a second dose to inform whether ATI-105 should be taken with or without food. Qualifying participants who enroll into the second study portion will receive ATI-105 or placebo for 14 days and will be randomly assigned to one of three dosing groups. For both portions, a safety committee will review the safety and tolerability data for each dosing group to determine if the dose can be increased for the next dosing group. Participants will be required to stay over night in the clinic for a few days and come back for visits after for procedures that include a check of their vitals and blood draws.

A Study to Learn More About the Effects and Long-Term Safety of Omaveloxolone (BIIB141) in Children and Teens With Friedreich's Ataxia

In this study, researchers will learn more about omaveloxolone, also known as BIIB141 or SKYCLARYS®. Omaveloxolone is already approved for people with Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) who are 16 years of age or older. However, it is not yet available for younger teens and children. The main goal of this study is to learn how omaveloxolone affects symptoms of FA and its safety in younger participants between the ages of 2 and 15 years old. The main questions researchers want to answer in this study are: * How does omaveloxolone affect the participants' FA symptoms? * How does the body process omaveloxolone? * How many participants have adverse events during the study? Adverse events are health problems that may or may not be caused by the study drug. * Are there any changes in the participants' overall health or heart health? Researchers will use the modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) to test nerve function. The mFARS tests movement ability, balance, coordination, speech, and arm and leg functions. More specifically, researchers will check participants' balance, coordination, movement, and ability to perform daily tasks using the Upright Stability Score (USS). The USS is part of the mFARS questionnaire. Researchers will also use other questionnaires to learn more about participants' symptoms, quality of life, ability to perform daily living activities, and how severe participants think their disease is. Researchers will also note any changes as participants go through puberty. Some participants may also be invited to take part in interviews about their experiences during the study or wear devices that measure movement and physical activity during daily life. This study will be done in 2 parts as follows: * Participants will be screened for up to 4 weeks to check if they can join the study. * In Part 1, participants will be randomly assigned to take either omaveloxolone or a placebo by mouth once a day for about 1 year. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. * Part 1 will be double blind. This means that the participants, study doctors, and study staff will not know if the participants are receiving omaveloxolone or a placebo. * Including screening, participants will have up to 9 clinic visits and 1 phone call during Part 1. If a participant does not join Part 2, they will have another safety follow-up phone call a month after their last dose of omaveloxolone. * Participants who finish Part 1 may move onto Part 2. During Part 2, participants who are at least 7 years old will be randomly assigned to receive either 150 mg or 250 mg of omaveloxolone once a day for about 104 weeks. Participants younger than 7 years old will receive 150 mg of omaveloxolone once a day for about 104 weeks. * During Part 2, participants will have up to 8 clinic visits and 1 phone call. Participants will also have a follow-up phone call about a month after they stop taking omaveloxolone. * In total, participants will have up to 17 clinic visits and 3 phone calls. Each participant will be in the study for up to 3 years.

A Study to Find Out How BIIB141 (Omaveloxolone) is Processed in the Body and to Learn More About Its Safety in Participants With Friedreich's Ataxia Aged 2 to 15 Years Old

In this study, researchers will learn more about BIIB141, also known as omaveloxolone or SKYCLARYS®. This drug has been approved, or made available for doctors to prescribe, for people with Friedrich's Ataxia (FA) who are at least 16 years old. But, it is not yet available for children and teens with FA who are younger than 16 years old. The main goal of this study is to learn how BIIB141 is processed in the body of children and teens who are 2 to 15 years old. The main question researchers want to answer in this study is: * How does the body process BIIB141 in children and teens? * How many participants have medical problems during the study? * Are there any changes in the participants' overall health during the study? * Are there any changes in the participants' heart health? * Are there any changes in how the participants move through puberty? Puberty is the time in someone's life when their body changes from a child to an adult. This study will be done as follows: * Participants will be screened to see if they can join the study. The screening period will be up to 14 days, after which participants will check into their study research center. * There are 2 parts to this study. During Part 1, participants will take a single dose of BIIB141. Participants will be in 1 of 7 different groups based on their age: * Group A1: 12 to 15 years old, taking 150 milligrams (mg) of BIIB141 * Group A2: 12 to 15 years old, taking a dose of BIIB141 based on the data from Group A1 * Group B1: 7 to 11 years old, taking a dose of BIIB141 based on Group A1 data * Group C1: 2 to 6 years old, taking a dose of BIIB141 based on Groups A1, A2, and B1 data * Group A3: 12 to 15 years old, taking a dose of BIIB141 based on Groups A1, A2, and B1 data * Group B2: 7 to 11 years old, taking a dose of BIIB141 based on Groups A1, A2, and B1 data * Group C2: 2 to 6 years old, taking a dose of BIIB141 based on Group A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, and C1 data. * During Part 2, participants from Part 1 will take BIIB141 once in the study research center. Cohort A1 will take 150 mg of BIIB141. Dose of Cohorts A2 and B1 will be based on data from Cohort A1, dose of Cohorts C1, A3 and B2 will be based on data from Cohorts A1, A2 and B1, while Cohort C2's dose will be based on all the other groups. Participants will then take it once a day at home. * After leaving the study research center in Part 2, participants will return for tests at Week 4, Week 12, Week 24, and then every 24 weeks. Participants will also be contacted by telephone at Week 2, Week 8, and Week 18, and about 30 days after their last dose of the study drug. * Participants will be in this study for up to 302 weeks.

A Study to Learn About the Effects and Safety of RTA 408 (Omaveloxolone) in People Aged 16 to 40 With Friedreich's Ataxia

In this study, researchers are learning more about RTA 408, also known as omaveloxolone, BIIB141, or SKYCLARYS®. The main goal of this study is to learn more about the safety of RTA 408 and how it affects physical effort, movement, coordination, and how participants feel in daily life. The main questions researchers want to answer in this study are: * How much physical effort can a participant produce during a cycling test after 12 weeks of treatment? * How do scores on the modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) change after 48 weeks? Researchers will use the modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) to measure how FA affects the nervous system. The mFARS looks at movement ability, balance, coordination, speech, and how well the arms and legs work. They will also use a cycling test to measure physical effort, along with questionnaires to learn how participants feel and function in daily life. Safety will also be tested using physical exams, vital sign checks, echocardiograms (ECHO), electrocardiograms (ECG), and blood and urine tests. The study will be done in 2 main parts, followed by an optional Extension period: * In Part 1, participants will be randomly assigned to take different doses of RTA 408 or a placebo by mouth once a day for 12 weeks. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. * Researchers will compare these doses to decide which one to use in Part 2. * In Part 2, a different group of participants will take either the chosen dose of RTA 408 (150 mg) or placebo once a day for 48 weeks. * Participants who complete Part 1 or Part 2 may be able to join an Extension period, where everyone receives RTA 408. * In the Extension period, participants will continue to receive RTA 408 until the drug becomes commercially available or until they leave the study * Participants in Part 1 will have up to 9 study visits and 2 phone calls. If they do not move onto the Extension period, they will stay in the study for up to 20 weeks. * Participants in Part 2 will have up to 10 study visits and 3 phone calls. If they do not move onto the Extension period, they will stay in the study for up to 61 weeks. * Participants in the Extension period will have 2 visits in the first month, followed by visits every 6 months.

Longitudinal Analysis of Oral Communication in Friedreich's Ataxia

Friedreich Ataxia (FA) is a hereditary neurological disease that is associated with a cerebellar syndrome and pyramidal symptoms. Clinical expression varies from one individual to another and throughout the evolution of the disease and is partially related to an abnormal expansion of the GAA triplet repeat in the frataxin gene. Dysarthria, a disorder in the motor production of speech, is always present in the clinical presentation of the disease (Schöls et al. 1997 ; Harding 1981 ; Dürr et al. 1996 ; Delatycki et al. 1999). It has been the subject of specific studies exploring the link between the evolution of dysarthria and disease progression (J. Folker et al. 2010; J. E. Folker et al. 2012; Rosen et al. 2012; Brendel et al. 2013). These studies allowed for the identification of markers for speech disintegration, specific to FA dysarthria, using perceptive voice measures, but also acoustics and objectives for qualifying voice and speech at the same time. The challenge is in finding measures sufficiently appropriate and sensitive to detect the evolution of these indicators throughout the course of the disease (Rosen et al. 2012). The neurological scales that take in to account all signs of a cerebellar syndrome are not sufficiently sensitive (Marelli et al. 2012). In addition, hearing difficulties develop during the course of the disease in addition to visual disturbances (gaze instability) which hinder communication. The ORFA study aims to evaluate oral communication in FA patients and identify appropriate measures that allow for the comparison of dysarthria pre and post-treatment in a clinical trial and can be used for the evaluation of efficacy.

Digital Outcome Assessment Using AI Active Gaming and Motion Capture in Friedreich Ataxia

Friedreich ataxia (FA) is a rare, inherited condition that progressively affects balance, coordination, and walking. Clinical trials of new FA treatments rely largely on standard clinical rating scales, but these can be tiring for patients, feel disconnected from everyday life, and may not detect small but meaningful changes over time. More objective, sensitive, and patient-relevant ways of measuring movement are needed. This study is developing and testing a new digital way of measuring movement in FA. Participants play short, movement-based computer games on a laptop while a single camera and artificial-intelligence (AI) software track how they move. The proposition is that the way a person plays these games - their speed, accuracy, and movement quality - can provide objective, meaningful measurements of motor function. In the laboratory, these game-based measurements are compared against a "gold-standard" full-body motion-capture system and against established clinical scales to check how accurate and meaningful they are. The study involves both people with Friedreich ataxia (across a range of disease severity) and healthy volunteers. People with FA also take part in a 12-week home phase, playing the games at home each month with remote support, so the researchers can examine whether the digital measurements are reliable when repeated and whether they can detect change over time. The study asks whether these digital, game-based movement measurements are reliable, valid, and sensitive enough to be used as a "fit-for-purpose" digital clinical outcome assessment (dCOA) in future FA clinical trials, and whether patients find the platform acceptable, usable, and relevant to daily life. This is an early-stage feasibility and validation study designed to establish proof of concept rather than to test the effectiveness of a treatment.

Characterisation of the Cognitive Profile of Patients Suffering From Friedreich's Ataxia

Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) Friedreich's Ataxia is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a homozygous expansion of the GAA triplet repeats of the frataxin gene (FXN). FA usually begins in childhood or adolescence. It affects both boys and girls. At the neurophysiological level, FA is characterised by neuronal loss affecting the dorsal root ganglia, spinal cord and cerebellum. At present, daily exercise is the only way to combat the disease. There is no cure for Friedreich's ataxia. Clinically, FA mainly combines balance, movement coordination, articulation (dysarthria) with cardiac involvement and sometimes diabetes . After a few years of evolution, walking is no longer possible. Recent data ; also indicate disturbances in information processing and cognitive functioning. In short, FA involves adolescents who progressively lose walking, writing and speech for some; however, each patient progresses differently with respect to the disease, and this is the case with respect to motor and cognitive symptoms.

In this study, researchers will learn more about the safety of BIIB141, also known as omaveloxolone or SKYCLARYS. This is a drug available for doctors to prescribe for people with Friedrich's Ataxia, also known as FA. This is known as an "observational" study, which collects health information about study participants without changing their medical care. Participants for this study will have taken BIIB141 at any time during pregnancy and/or while breastfeeding or pumping up through the first year after delivery. Participants can join this study on their own or they may be enrolled by their regular doctors. This study is also known as the "SKYCLARYS (Omaveloxolone) Pregnancy and Lactation Surveillance Program." The main objective of this study is to learn more about how BIIB141 may affect pregnancy, as well as any effects on the health of the mother and of the baby during its first year of life. The main question researchers want to answer in this study is: · Does taking BIIB141 during pregnancy or breastfeeding lead to any major birth defects? Researchers will also learn more about: * Does taking BIIB141 during pregnancy or breastfeeding lead to any minor birth defects? * Does taking BIIB141 during pregnancy or breastfeeding affect the following: * Gestational diabetes, a disease that can happen during pregnancy that affects how your body uses sugar * Pre-eclampsia, a pregnancy-related high blood pressure disease * Unborn baby being small for its expected age (usually in weeks) * Loss of an unborn baby * Live birth * Premature birth * Loss of a newborn * Growth or developmental delays in the baby * Serious illness in the baby resulting in hospitalization * Serious infections in the baby, or ones in babies with a weakened immune system This study will be done as follows: * Participants will join the study after signing an informed consent form, also known as an ICF. * During the study, health information from the participants' regular visits to their doctor will be collected based on whether participant joined the study while pregnant or after the baby is born. * Each participant will be in the study for up to 1 year after the birth of their child, unless they decide to leave early.

Characterization of the Interruptions of the GAA Expansion and Study of Their Influence on the Severity of Friedreich's Ataxia

Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is the most frequent recessive genetic ataxia with an estimated prevalence of 1/50 000. The first symptoms appear around the age of 10 years with a progressive course and the need for an armchair 10- 15 years after the first symptoms. More rarely the disease can present with a late onset (after the age of 25) with a picture characterized by spastic paraparesis and slower progression ("LOFA" for "Late Onset Friedreich Ataxia" or VLOFA for "Very Late Appearance of Friedreich's ataxia "). AF is caused in 96% of cases by an expansion of GAAN triplets (N\> 100 repeats) located in intron 1 of the FXN gene, present on the two alleles, and, in the rest of the cases, by an associated expansion a point mutation or a deletion in trans. During molecular diagnostics, it is not uncommon to find the presence of interruptions within the GAA expansion. This results in the absence and / or the shift of peak (s) within the chromatogram. To date, only the partial correlation between the size of the expansion and the age of onset of Friedreich's ataxia has been established. In particular, very atypical forms of AF with a late onset (after the age of 25) are in particular explained by the low number of repetitions in the expansion, typically between 100 and 500 repetitions. However, the presence of an interruption could stabilize the size of the expansion and, therefore, be mainly associated with expansions of small sizes and therefore with a late onset of the disease. The objective of this study is therefore to analyse and caracterize the presence and the type of interruptions of the GAA expansions in a group of patients with FA ; this data will be correlated with the age at onset of FA.

Efficacy of Omaveloxolone Treatment for Dysphagia in French Patients With Friedreich's Ataxia

Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disease that typically begins in children and young people. It primarily affects the spinal cord, peripheral nerves and cerebellum of the brain. Clinical manifestations include progressive gait and limb ataxia, auditory and optic neuropathy, cardiomyopathy, scoliosis, dysarthria, and dysphagia. In advanced stages, individuals may become wheelchair-dependent, leading to a severe loss of autonomy and reduced life expectancy. To date, there are no effective treatments known to reverse or halt disease progression. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in individuals with FA. In January 2024, Omaveloxolone was approved for early access in France to treat FA in patients aged 16 years and older. Dysphagia is a central manifestation in FA, and may lead to severe complications such as malnutrition, dehydration, and aspiration-related pneumonia, as well as reduced self-esteem and social isolation. Despite its clinical relevance, dysphagia remains underexplored in clinical trials, including in major Omaveloxolone studies where no specific tool for measuring dysphagia has been incorporated. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the effect of Omaveloxolone on dysphagia after six months of treatment, in a cohort of French patients with Friedreich's ataxia who benefited from early access to treatment between February 2024 and May 2025. The severity of dysphagia will be assessed using the Sydney Swallow Questionnaire (SSQ), completed by patients at baseline and after six months of Omaveloxolone treatment.

A Study to Learn More About the Long-Term Safety of BIIB141 (Omaveloxolone) in Participants With Friedreich's Ataxia Who Are Prescribed it by Their Own Doctors

In this study, researchers will learn more about the safety of BIIB141, also known as omaveloxolone or SKYCLARYS®. This is a drug available for doctors to prescribe for people with Friedreich's Ataxia, also known as FA. This is known as an "observational" study, which collects health information about study participants without changing their medical care. Participants for this study will be found using a group called the Friedreich's Ataxia Global Clinical Consortium (FA GCC) UNIFIED Natural History Study (UNIFAI). The FA-GCC is a group of study research centers that helps provide clinical care for FA patients and also helps researchers learn more about how FA affects patients over a long time. The main objective of this study is to collect safety information in participants with FA from UNIFAI. Some of the participants in this study will be prescribed BIIB141 for the first time by their own doctors. Some of the participants will have started taking BIIB141 after joining UNIFAI, but less than 12 months before joining this study. The main questions researchers want to answer in this study are: * How many participants had serious adverse events (SAEs)? An adverse event is considered serious when it results in death, is life-threatening, causes lasting problems, or requires hospital care. * How many participants had adverse events (AEs) related to heart failure or liver damage caused by the drug? Researchers will also learn more about : • Why and when participants stopped treatment, left the study, or took more of the drug than was prescribed This study will be done as follows: * Participants will be screened to check if they can join the study. * After joining the study, the participants who had never started BIIB141 treatment before must start it within 6 months. Otherwise, all participants will take BIIB141 throughout this study as prescribed by their own doctor. * During the study, each participant's doctor will decide how often the participant visits the study research center to check on their health. This will be based on the doctor's own clinical judgment and what is recommended by the drug's label. * Data from the participants' regular visits to their doctor will be collected at 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, and 60 months. * Each participant will be in the study for up to 5 years.

Friedreich Ataxia Nerve Ultrasund

"Friedreich ataxia is the most common inherited autosomal recessive ataxia. It is caused by a GAA repeat expansion in the frataxin gene on chromosome 9q21.11. Symptoms usually begin in childhood, typically between 9 and 13 years of age. The disease leads to progressive damage of the nervous system and the heart, as well as multisystem involvement of various degrees, leading to diabetes, vision and hearing loss and scoliosis. Over time, most patients lose the ability to walk and require a wheelchair, often by their mid-twenties. The severity and progression of the disease can vary depending on various factors such as the age at onset and the size of the GAA triplet expansion. Traditionally, Friedreich ataxia has been considered a disorder primarily affecting nerve cells, also called neuronopathy. However, recent studies using ultrasound imaging of peripheral nerves have shown that some nerves may appear enlarged, particularly in the upper limbs. This is in contrast with findings usually observed in other neuronopathies, where peripheral nerves tend to become thinner. The aim of this study is to use nerve ultrasound to better understand changes in intraneural vascularization and nerve in patients with Friedreich ataxia. In particular, we assess the presence of intraneural blood flow within the nerves using a high-resolution ultrasound technique. The study includes 13 patients with genetically confirmed Friedreich ataxia who are followed at the Neurogenetics Competence Center of Nice University Hospital. Ultrasound examinations are performed on the median and ulnar nerves at standardized locations: for median nerve at wrist, forearm (10 cm from the distal wrist crease), antecubital fossa, mid-arm and axilla; for ulnar nerve at the wrist, forearm (10 cm from the pisiform bone), at the elbow (5 cm below and above the elbow), mid-arm and axilla; the brachial plexus is measured at level C5, C6, C7. In addition to vascularization, we also measure nerve size (cross-sectional area) and evaluate internal nerve structure. This study aims to improve understanding of nerve involvement in Friedreich ataxia and to explore whether ultrasound could provide useful markers of disease severity."

Patient-reported, Health Economic and Psychosocial Outcomes in Friedreich Ataxia

The PROFA study is an international, multi-centric observational and validation study to assess the patient-reported, psychosocial and economic outcomes of patients with Friedreich Ataxia (FA). Eligible patients will be recruited from six study centers in Germany, Austria and France. Patients will complete a baseline assessment via face-to-face interviews at the study centers and multiple momentary follow-up assessments via a mobile-health app at home daily to monthly for six months. Study results will gain essential and in-depth insights into the daily life of patients with FA.

Gene Therapy for Cardiomyopathy Associated With Friedreich's Ataxia

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-ascending, multicenter study of the safety and efficacy of LX2006 for participants who have Friedreich's Ataxia with evidence of cardiomyopathy. The study will evaluate up to three doses of single administration of LX2006 (AAVrh.10hFXN), an adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy designed to intravenously deliver the human frataxin (hFXN) gene to cardiac cells over a 52-week period. Long-term safety and efficacy will be evaluated for an additional 4-years for a total of 5-years post LX2006 treatment.
