Have Your Voices Heard: Be a Part of the FA Community's Request for Access to Reata and FDA
Watch the Recorded Webinar

The strength of this letter will depend in large part on input and testimony from the FA community. The voices and lived experiences of this community matter and will help add critical perspective and context to the MOXIe trial data points that are being discussed. Even if you did not participate in this clinical trial, it is important to hear your voices too.

Please also share this message within the FA community. The greater our unity, the stronger our message. more...
