Data from the registrational Part 2 portion of the MOXIe Phase 2 trial of omaveloxolone in patients with FA (“MOXIe Part 2") and the open-label extension study (the “MOXIe Extension”) were analyzed in additional exploratory analyses (the “Delayed-Start Analyses”), whereby parallel trajectories between the patients randomized to placebo (placebo-to-omaveloxolone group) and those randomized to omaveloxolone (omaveloxolone-to-omaveloxolone group) in the double-blind period from MOXIe Part 2 through 48 weeks in the MOXIe Extension could provide evidence of disease-modifying activity. A total of 73 out of 75 (97%) patients without pes cavus who completed MOXIe Part 2 enrolled in the MOXIe Extension.
The FDA has granted us a Type C meeting, which is scheduled to occur in the second quarter of 2021, to discuss the Delayed-Start Analyses and the FA development program. We plan to initiate a second pivotal study in the fourth quarter of 2021, incorporating input from both the FDA and the European Medicines Agency into the protocol before we initiate enrollment.
