Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice.
In this episode, Francesco Saccà, MD, PhD, an associate professor of neurology at the University of Naples, discussed an ongoing study assessing the use of dimethyl fumarate, an approved therapy for relapsing multiple sclerosis, in patients with Friedreich ataxia (FA). He spoke on the mechanism of action of the agent and why it can be beneficial in this patient population, as well as how it differs from omaveloxolone (Skyclarys; Biogen), the first approved treatment for FA. In addition, he outlined the study design, the primary end point of frataxin decrease, and what would be considered a "successful" study. Furthermore, he spoke on the reasons behind the trial and what led investigators to this point.
