NCT ID NCT06034886

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This expanded access program offers the investigational drug troriluzole to people with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), a rare brain disorder that affects movement and coordination. Participants take a daily pill. The goal is to provide access to the drug while it is still being studied. Eligible patients must have a confirmed SCA diagnosis and adequate liver function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

troriluzole (also known as BHV-4157), taken as a daily pill

What this could lead to

If it works, this could help slow or manage symptoms of spinocerebellar ataxia, a rare and progressive neurological disease.

What could go wrong

This is an expanded access program, not a formal trial, so evidence is limited. The drug is still investigational and may not work for everyone. Liver function must be monitored.
