A Natural History Study to TRACK Brain and Spinal Cord Changes in Individuals With Friedreich Ataxia (TRACK-FA) ((TRACK-FA))

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04349514. Estimated Study Start Date :June 2020

The aim of TRACK-FA is to develop an FA neuroimaging dataset from brain and spinal cord that is suitable for assessing the potential value of neuroimaging biomarkers and providing a basis for instituting them in clinical trials. The dataset will comprise a range of neuroimaging measures to assess changes in spinal cord and brain regions that have previously shown to be compromised in individuals with FA. In addition to neuroimaging measures, TRACK-FA will also include clinical, cognitive data and biospecimen data. The TRACK-FA dataset will provide a unique opportunity for academic researchers in collaboration with industry partners to access the images, subsidiary data, and associated clinical data for community research.
