Brief summary

The purpose of Study LX2006-03, a multicenter, Phase 2, open-label, randomized, controlled study, is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LX2006 gene therapy in participants with Friedreich ataxia (FA) cardiomyopathy (CM).

Interventions

GENETICLX2006

Adeno-associated viral vector encoding the FXN gene (AAVrh.10hFXN)

OTHERUsual Care

Cohort 1: Participants ≥16 years of age with FA-CM Participants will receive usual care for 26 weeks before receiving treatment with LX2006 (single crossover).

Masking description

Clinical outcomes of interest will be read with blinded assessors using standardized procedures. All post-baseline centrally read imaging and cardiac biomarker high-sensitivity troponin I will be blinded to the investigator, sponsor, and the reader (and the participant).

Inclusion criteria

* Male or female, age at least 6 years at the time of signing the informed consent (and assent, if applicable). * Diagnosis of FA, based on clinical phenotype and genotype (GAA expansion on the frataxin gene) * Onset of FA on or before 25 years of age * Confirmed left ventricular hypertrophy and abnormal left ventricular mass index * Left ventricular ejection fraction at least 30% * Anti-AAVrh.10 total antibody titer less than the protocol-specified maximum level

Exclusion criteria
