Clinical Trial: EPI-743 in Friedreich's Ataxia Point Mutations

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: A Phase 2A Clinical Trial of EPI-743 (Vincerinone™) on Visual Function in Friedreich's Ataxia Patients With Point Mutations

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of EPI-743 in patients with Friedreich's Ataxia point mutations

Detailed Summary: The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether treatment with EPI-743 has a discernible impact on visual function—including visual acuity, visual fields and color vision as well as on any of a number of functional and subject/clinician-rated scales relevant in the treatment of Friedreich's ataxia, and to determine the safety of treatment with EPI-743.
