NAD+ Precursor Supplementation in Friedreich's Ataxia

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04817111. A Phase 2a Study of NAD+ Precursor Supplementation in Friedreich's Ataxia 
Sponsor: Metro International Biotech, LLC; Collaborator: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Detailed Description: The primary focus for this protocol is safety and tolerability. We will systematically assess for adverse events using a safety monitoring uniform report form. We will also use cardiac 31-Phosphorus-Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) to measure the Phosphocreatine(PCr)/Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)- γ ratio before and after treatment with MIB-626. In addition, if time permits we will use proton (1H)-MRS to measure skeletal muscle nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) before and after treatment.
