Description

Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of BHV-4157 (Troriluzole) 140 milligrams (mg) once daily versus placebo after 8 weeks of treatment in subjects with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA).

Official Title

A Phase IIb/III, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial of Troriluzole in Adult Subjects With Spinocerebellar Ataxia

Details

The study was conducted in 2 phases: Randomization Phase (8 weeks) followed by an open-label Extension Phase (48 weeks). During the Randomization Phase, participants received either Troriluzole 140 mg or matching placebo up to 8 weeks. Participants who agreed to enter the Extension Phase continued dosing of Troriluzole 140 mg for 48 weeks. The study was subsequently amended to follow participants for a total of 192 weeks in the Extension Phase.

Eligibility

You can join if…

Open to people ages 18-75

  • Subjects with a known or suspected diagnosis of the following specific hereditary ataxias: SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA6, SCA7, SCA8 and SCA10
  • Ability to ambulate 8 meters without assistance (canes and other devices allowed)
  • Screening total Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) score ≥8
  • Score of ≥ 2 on the gait subsection of the SARA
  • Determined by the investigator to be medically stable at baseline/randomization and must be physically able and expected to complete the trial as designed

You CAN'T join if...

  • Any medical condition other than one of the hereditary ataxias specified in the inclusion criteria that could predominantly explain or contribute significantly to the subjects' symptoms of ataxia
  • Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) score < 24
  • SARA total score of > 30 points at screening
  • Clinical history of stroke
  • Active liver disease or a history of hepatic intolerance to medications that in the investigator's judgment, is medically significant
