Rare Disease ReportData from a Phase 2 Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) study by Reata Pharmaceuticals is making its rounds on social media today. The data, according to Reata, is exceptional. However, according to many on Twitter, the trial is a failure.

In spite of what the critics think, the company and the advocacy group Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) are cautiously optimistic.
