New drug trial aims to slow progression of rare movement disorder

NCT ID NCT03701399

Summary

This study is testing whether a daily medication called troriluzole can help slow the worsening of movement, balance, and speech problems in adults with inherited spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). About 300 participants with specific types of SCA will take either troriluzole or a placebo pill for 48 weeks to see which group shows less decline in their ability to perform daily activities. The main goal is to see if the drug can help people maintain their current function longer.
