First gene therapy trial targets deadly heart damage in rare neurological disease

NCT ID NCT05445323

Summary

This early-stage study is testing a new gene therapy, LX2006, for people with Friedreich's ataxia who have developed heart muscle damage. The therapy aims to deliver a healthy gene directly to heart cells to improve their function. Researchers will first check if the treatment is safe and look for signs it might help the heart work better.
