Trial Now Recruiting: A Study of SGT-212 Gene Therapy in Friedreich's Ataxia (NCT07180355)

Researchers are testing a new gene therapy called SGT-212 for Friedreich's ataxia, a rare disease that affects how the body moves and coordinates. This is the first time this treatment is being tested in humans. The study will enroll 10 patients and follow them for about 5 years to see if the treatment is safe and works well.

WHY IT MATTERSThis is the first human trial of SGT-212 for Friedreich's ataxia, offering eligible patients access to a potentially disease-modifying gene therapy that addresses the underlying genetic cause rather than just managing symptoms.
