Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Participation in an interventional clinical study or received investigational drug (other than SKYCLARYS® \[omaveloxolone\]) within 60 days prior to Screening. Participants may be screened after the exclusionary period of 60 days has passed.
  • Current use of omaveloxolone. Previous use of omaveloxolone will be allowed if:
    • Use was less than 3 cumulative months and participants have been off treatment for \>30 days.
    • Use was less than 6 cumulative months and participants have been off treatment for \>90 days
  • Previous or concurrent use of other investigational treatment for FA.
  • Participation in any cell or gene therapy-based treatment for FA.
  • Participation in an ongoing study for vatiquinone or current or previous use of vatiquinone.
  • Illicit drug use 30 days prior to Screening and during the study.
    • Note: Other protocol-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.

Other illness

  • Allergy to vatiquinone, sesame oil, gelatin (bovine and/or porcine), titanium dioxide, or red iron oxide.
  • Comorbidities that may confound study results (for example, fat malabsorption syndrome, other mitochondrial disorder) in the opinion of the investigator.

Other

  • Individuals with clinical diagnosis of FA who have point mutations, deletions, or other non-GAA expansion mutations.
  • Pregnant or lactating participants or those sexually active participants who are unwilling to comply with proper birth control methods; females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and during the Baseline Visit.

Who the study is looking for

  • mFARS ≥20 to ≤70 at Screening (4 weeks prior to Day 1) and Baseline (Day 1).
  • Must be ambulatory as defined by a E7 score of 4 or less on the USS at Screening and Baseline.
  • Documentation that participants reached maximum score on items E4, E5, and E3b on the USS of mFARS at Screening and Baseline.
  • FA diagnosis (homozygous for guanine-adenine-adenine \[GAA\] repeat expansion in intron-1 of the frataxin gene), confirmed and documented with GAA repeat length for both alleles by clinical genetic testing.
  • Difference in the mFARS score between Screening and Baseline of no more than 4 points.
  • Ability to abstain from strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inducers/inhibitors (for example, ketoconazole, rifampin, St. John's wort, grapefruit juice) for at least 4 weeks prior to Baseline and for the duration of the study.
