Summary

This study looks at whether the drug troriluzole can slow down spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), a rare brain disease that affects movement and balance. About 900 people with SCA who took troriluzole for up to 3 years are compared to a group of untreated patients from a natural history study. The goal is to see if the drug helps keep symptoms like walking and coordination from getting worse.
