Description: FARA is announcing open enrollment for a Phase 2 study of TAK-831, sponsored by Takeda. This study will evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of multiple doses of TAK-831 in adults with FA. Specifically, this study will look at upper limb motor function and manual dexterity of people who take TAK-831. The study will enroll 65 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 2:1:2 ratio to one of the three treatment groups: TAK-831 high dose, TAK-831 low dose and placebo. Treatment duration is 3 months.
Key Criteria: Adults ages 18-55 years with genetically confirmed FA (homozygous for GAA repeat expansion or compound heterozygous with a point mutation). Must be able to complete the nine-hole pegboard test in less than 150 seconds. For more information on inclusion and exclusion criteria, please contact one of the study site coordinators.
