Designing phase II clinical trials in Friedreich ataxia

Rodden LN, Lynch DR.; Expert Opin Emerg Drugs. 2021 Oct 25. doi: 10.1080/14728214.2021.1998452. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 34693848. 

A growing number of drug candidates are being tested in phase II clinical trials for FRDA; however, most have not met their primary endpoints, and none have received FDA approval. In this review, we aim to summarize completed phase II clinical trials in FRDA, outlining critical lessons that have been learned and that should be incorporated into future trial design to ultimately optimize drug development in FRDA.
