New hope for SCA patients: expanded access to investigational drug troriluzole
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.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Key Inclusion Criteria: * Patient has a confirmed diagnosis of Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA), defined as either clinical evidence supporting diagnosis OR confirmed genotypic diagnosis. * Adequate hepatic function. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Patient is known to have acute or chronic liver disease that is clinically significant in the judgement of the Physician. * Patient has a history of a clinically significant medical condition that would interfere with the patients ability to comply with the expanded access protocol or would place the patient at increased risk.
