Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this long term extension study is to evaluate the long-term safety of ACTIMMUNE® (interferon-γ 1b) in participants with Friedreich's Ataxia (FA).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multi-center, open-label, long-term safety extension study of ACTIMMUNE® in the treatment of FA in children and young adults. Participants who complete 26 weeks of treatment and the Week 28 Follow-Up Visit in HZNP-ACT-302 (NCT02593773) will be eligible to enter this long-term safety extension protocol. The Day 1 Visit of this study (HZNP-ACT-303) occurs on the same day as the Week 28 Follow-Up Visit for HZNP-ACT-302 (NCT02593773). Participants will be required to return for clinic visits at least every 6 months. The treatment duration is open-ended, and treatment will continue until ACTIMMUNE® is commercially available for the treatment of FA in the United States or until the Sponsor decides not to continue development for the treatment of FA.

interferon γ-1b

ACTIMMUNE® will be administered 3 times per week (TIW) by subcutaneous (SC) injection.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

interferon γ-1b

Intervention Type DRUG

ACTIMMUNE® will be administered three times per week by subcutaneous injection. The initial dose will be individualized for each participant and will be determined by the investigator, provided that the initial dose does not exceed the maximum tolerated dose in HZNP-ACT-302 (NCT02593773). The investigator may subsequently adjust the dose for any participant if deemed clinically appropriate, provided that the dose does not exceed 100 μg/m².
