Key information

About this study

Study LX2006-02 is a prospective, longitudinal, low-intervention, multicenter, global study aimed at characterizing the nature and rate of cardiac disease progression in participants with genetically confirmed FA-CM. After completing at least 26 weeks in Study LX2006-02, participants who meet the eligibility criteria may have the opportunity to participate in an LX2006 interventional study and receive gene therapy.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female, ages ≥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 both alleles or compound heterozygous), with onset of FA occurring at ≤25 years of age
  • Confirmed left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH)
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥40%

Exclusion criteria

  • Presence of other form(s) of CM contributing to heart failure (HF), clinically significant cardiac anatomic abnormality or congenital cardiac malformation, clinically significant coronary artery, uncorrected, hemodynamically significant primary structural valvular disease not due to CM
  • Currently receiving intermittent or continuous intravenous (IV) inotrope infusion, presence of a ventricular assist device, or history of prior heart transplantation
  • Contraindication to cMRI, participants <12 years of age who cannot complete the cMRI without sedation will instead undergo ECHOs and are exempt from this criterion.
  • Prior organ transplantation
  • Initiation of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) within 6 months prior to screening.
  • History of prior gene transfer or cell therapy.
  • Poorly controlled diabetes (hemoglobin A1c ≥8%)
  • Active hematologic or solid organ malignancy

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Characterize cardiac disease presentation and progression among participants

    Time frame: 26 weeks

    Change from baseline in left ventricular mass index (LVMi)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Describe progression of left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) among this population

    Time frame: 52 weeks

    Change from baseline

  2. Describe progression of relative wall thickness (RWT) among this population

    Time frame: 52 weeks

    Change from baseline

  3. Describe progression of relative wall mass (RWM) among this population

    Time frame: 52 weeks

    Change from baseline

  4. Describe progression of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) among this population

    Time frame: 52 weeks

    Change from baseline

  5. Describe progression of left ventricular mass index (LVMi) among this population

    Time frame: 52 weeks

    Change from baseline

  6. Describe progression of high sensitivity troponin I among this population

    Time frame: 52 weeks

    Change from baseline

  7. Describe participant perception and clinician assessment of illness in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-12 (KCCQ-12)

    Time frame: 52 weeks

    Change from baseline

  8. Describe clinician assessment of illness in modified Friedreich Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS)

    Time frame: 52 weeks

    Change from baseline

  9. Describe participant perception of illness in Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S)

    Time frame: 52 weeks

    Change from baseline

  10. Describe participant perception of illness in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C)

    Time frame: 52 weeks

    Change from baseline

  11. Describe patterns of concomitant medication use among this population

    Time frame: 12 months

    Change from baseline in concomitant medication use, assessed using medication logs, electronic health records and patient self-report.

  12. Describe changes to medication use among this population

    Time frame: 12 months

    Change from baseline in medication use, evaluated using prescription records, patient-reported medication, or clinician-reported changes.

  13. Evaluate all-cause mortality

    Time frame: 12 months

    Time from baseline to the first occurrence of any event of death due to any cause

  14. Evaluate major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)

    Time frame: 12 months

    Time from baseline to the first occurrence of any MACE, defined as cardiovascular hospitalization/ambulatory visit, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal life-threatening arrhythmia, heart transplant, implantation of left ventricular assisted device (LVAD)

  15. Cumulative measure of CV and non-CV related health care utilization (HRU)

    Time frame: 12 months

    Health care utilization will be assessed through a combination of:

    • Data captured via Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system (e.g., hospitalizations, emergency room visits, procedures),
    • Patient-reported information collected by the physician during scheduled study visits.
