Who the study is looking for
- Friedreich ataxia diagnosis (homozygous for GAA repeat expansion in intron-1 of FXN gene), confirmed by clinical genetic testing.
- Must be able to abstain from anticoagulants and any aspirin (including 81 mg) for 30 days before the Baseline Visit and for the duration of the study; any possible discontinuation of anticoagulants should be monitored and indicated by a specialist (for example, cardiologist, neurologist, or hematologist), and discontinuation will be noted by the prescribing physician.
- Must be able to abstain from strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inducers/inhibitors (for example, ketoconazole, rifampin, St. John's wort, grapefruit juice, or any grapefruit product) for at least 30 days prior to enrollment and for the duration of the study.
