    • Note: Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.

Other illness

  • Allergy to vatiquinone or sesame oil.

Lab values

  • Ejection fraction \<50%.

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.
  • Must be able to take vatiquinone oral solution with food.
