Weill Medical College of Cornell University

Enrollment

25 participants

Start Date

Feb 22, 2022

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and preliminary efficacy of AAVrh.10hFXN to treat the cardiomyopathy associated with Friedreich's ataxia (FA). AAVrh.10hFXN is a serotype rh.10 adeno-associated virus gene transfer vector coding for Frataxin (FXN). The drug is administered intravenously. This is a phase 1, open label, dose escalation study with a total of 25 participants.
