Target plasma concentrations determined in preclinical studies could be safely achieved in a Phase I study. At these plasma concentrations, CNS target engagement was confirmed in healthy volunteers. This approach has supported the design of the current Phase 2 clinical trial in Friedreich´s Ataxia, and also in other indications.
