First-of-its-Kind gene therapy trial for rare disease heart damage
Disease control TerminatedThis was an early-stage study to test a new gene therapy called ASP2016 for heart problems in adults with Friedreich ataxia, a rare genetic disease. The main goals were to check if the treatment was safe and how well people could tolerate it. Participants would receive a single i…
