Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 72

Number - The USS has a score range from 0 to 36. Lower scores mean less impairment and higher scores mean greater neurological impairment.

Change from baseline in the total modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) at Week 72 (Region-specific)
Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 72

Number - The mFARS has a total score range from 0 to 93. Lower scores mean less impairment and higher scores mean greater neurological impairment.

Up to 24 months

Number of subjects

Change from baseline in electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters including, but not limited to, HR, RR interval, PR interval, QRS duration, QT interval, and QTcF interval
Up to 24 months

Number change in ECG parameters

Change from baseline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
Up to 24 months

LVEF indicates the percentage of change in LV volume from diastole to systole that measures how well the left ventricle of the heart pumps blood.

Change from baseline in left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV)
Up to 24 months

LVEDV is the amount of blood, measured in milliliters (mL), in the heart's left ventricle just before the heart contracts.

Number of subjects with any suicidal ideation or behavior (Categories 1-10) of the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
Up to 24 months

The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is a tool used to assess the occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. A higher score on the C-SSRS generally indicate a worse outcome, as they signify a higher level of suicidal ideation or behavior.

Change from baseline at each collection timepoint in tissue frataxin concentrations normalized to total protein observed in buccal cells collected from cheek swabs and skin cells collected from skin punch biopsies
Up to 24 months
Change from baseline in motor function as assessed by 9-hole peg test (9-HPT)
Up to 24 months

Up to 24 months
Change from baseline in neurologic function as assessed by the modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) total score
Up to 24 months

The Modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) is a modified neurologic scale involving direct subject participation and targets specific areas impacted by Friedreich's ataxia (bulbar, upper limb, lower limb, and upright stability), with scores ranging from 0-67 points, with higher scores indicating a greater level of disability.

Change from baseline in neurologic function as assessed by the upright stability subscale examination of the mFARS
Through study completion, up to 24 months

The Upright Stability Subscale is an assessment of an individual's ability to maintain balance and stability while standing upright. It has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 36. A higher score indicates a better outcome, reflecting greater stability and balance abilities while standing upright.

Change in activities of daily living (ADLs) as assessed by the Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale Activities of Daily Living (FARS_ADL)
Up to 24 months

The FARS\_ADL, scored 0 to 36, is a subscale of FARS assessing a subject's ability to complete activities of daily living. A higher score indicates a greater level of disability. The FARS\_ADL questionnaire will be performed at the timepoints indicated in protocol.

Change from baseline in total fatigue score and all the subscale scores as assessed by the Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS)
Up to 24 months

The Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) is a revised form of the Fatigue Impact Scale based on items derived from interviews with MS patients concerning how fatigue impacts their lives. This instrument provides an assessment of the effects of fatigue in terms of physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning. Participants rate on a 5-point scale, with 0 = 'Never' to 4 = 'Almost always' their agreement with 21 statements. Total score (0-84) and subscales for physical (0-36), cognitive (0-40) and psychosocial functioning (0-8). The 5-item version is scored (0-20). Higher numbers indicate greater fatigue. The MFIS will be performed at the timepoints indicated in protocol.

The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) reflects a patient's assessment about the efficacy of treatment. PGIC is a 7 point scale depicting a patient's rating of overall improvement. Patients rate their change as "very much improved," "much improved," "minimally improved," "no change," "minimally worse," "much worse," or "very much worse." The PGI-C will be performed at the timepoints indicated in protocol.
