Friedreich’s ataxia is a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by frataxin deficiency, leading to progressive loss of coordination and cardiac complications. As per Prof. Kathrin Reetz et al. (2025), it is the most prevalent inherited ataxia, with a global prevalence of 0.5 cases per 100,000 people. According to the Friedreich’s ataxia pipeline analysis by Expert Market Research, the drug pipeline is expanding, driven by high unmet need and advances in genetics. The emerging therapies include gene therapies, small molecules, antioxidants, and mitochondrial-targeted treatments. The growing research funding, improved diagnostics, and regulatory support are expected to accelerate development and drive market growth in the coming years.
Major companies involved in the Friedreich’s ataxia pipeline analysis include PTC Therapeutics, Lexeo Therapeutics, and others.
Leading drugs currently in the pipeline include Vatiquinone, LX2006, SGT-212, and others.
The pipeline is advancing through gene therapies, mitochondrial-targeted agents, and disease-modifying drugs, supported by rising clinical activity, regulatory incentives, and growing investment in rare neurological disorders.
The Friedreich’s Ataxia Pipeline Analysis Report by Expert Market Research gives comprehensive insights into Friedreich’s ataxia therapeutics currently undergoing clinical trials. It covers various aspects related to the details of each of these drugs under development for Friedreich’s ataxia. The Friedreich’s ataxia report assessment includes the analysis of over 100 pipeline drugs and 50+ companies. The Friedreich’s ataxia pipeline landscape will include an analysis based on efficacy and safety measure outcomes published for the trials, including their adverse effects on patients suffering from the condition, and alignment with Friedreich’s ataxia treatment guidelines to ensure optimal care practices.
The assessment part will include a detailed analysis of each drug, drug class, clinical studies, phase type, drug type, route of administration, and ongoing product development activities related to Friedreich’s ataxia.

Friedreich’s Ataxia is a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the FXN gene that reduce frataxin production. The deficiency disrupts mitochondrial function, leading to progressive damage of the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and brain, with symptoms including impaired coordination, balance difficulties, speech abnormalities, muscle weakness, and frequent cardiac involvement.
Friedreich’s ataxia treatment emphasizes disease modification alongside comprehensive symptom management, including antioxidant therapy, cardiomyopathy monitoring, physical and occupational rehabilitation, and targeted pharmacological approaches to slow neurological decline and preserve function. For instance, in February 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Skyclarys (omaveloxolone), an oral therapy that improves neurological outcomes by reducing oxidative stress and supporting mitochondrial function in affected patients.
The pipeline is influenced by distinct epidemiological patterns across regions. As reported by Prof Kathrin Reetz et al. (2025), the global prevalence averages 0.5 cases per 100,000 people, reinforcing its classification as a rare inherited disorder. The higher disease occurrence is observed in populations of Caucasian and Indian ancestry, with prevalence reaching approximately 1 case per 30,000 people in India, Australia, and parts of Europe. In contrast, North America reports 1-3 cases per 100,000 people, while incidence remains exceptionally low in sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, shaping market and development strategies.
This section of the report covers the analysis of Friedreich’s ataxia drug candidates based on several segmentations, including:
By Phase
The pipeline assessment report covers 50+ drug analyses based on phase:
By Drug Class
The Friedreich’s ataxia pipeline analysis report covers 50+ drug analyses based on drug classes:
By Route of Administration
The pipeline assessment report covers 50+ drug analyses based on the route of administration.
The report covers phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV, and early-phase drugs. The coverage includes an in-depth analysis of each drug across these phases. According to EMR analysis, phase I covers a major share of the total Friedreich’s ataxia clinical trials, with 75%. It is followed by phase II at 25%. This strong presence in early clinical development highlights robust innovation and a promising trajectory for new therapies, potentially enhancing treatment options and positively impacting market growth as these candidates advance toward approval and commercialization.
The drug molecule categories covered under the Friedreich’s ataxia pipeline analysis include small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, peptides, polymers, and vaccines. The Friedreich’s ataxia report provides a comparative analysis of the drug classes for each drug in various phases of clinical trials for Friedreich’s ataxia. Disease-modifying drug therapies for Friedreich’s Ataxia are also emerging to address the unmet needs of pediatric patients. For instance, omaveloxolone, an oral antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, is under investigation in the Phase 3 BRAVE study for children aged 2 to <16 years. Moreover, it is currently marketed as SKYCLARYS® for adults and adolescents aged 16 years and older. It works by targeting mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, thereby potentially slowing disease progression and improving motor function in affected patients.
The EMR report for the Friedreich’s ataxia pipeline covers the profile of key companies involved in clinical trials and their drugs under development. It provides a detailed Friedreich’s ataxia therapeutic assessment, analyzing the competitive dynamics of the clinical trial landscape. Below is the list of a few players involved in Friedreich’s ataxia clinical trials:
This section covers the detailed analysis of each drug under multiple phases, including phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV, and emerging drugs for Friedreich’s ataxia. It includes product description, trial ID, study type, drug class, mode of administration, and recruitment status of Friedreich’s ataxia drug candidates.
Vatiquinone is being developed by PTC Therapeutics as a first-in-class, selective 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) inhibitor for Friedreich’s ataxia. The Phase III MOVE-FA study is evaluating its long-term efficacy and safety in pediatric and adult patients. The study is examining whether Vatiquinone is slowing neurological disease progression by reducing oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Based on sustained mFARS benefits, the FDA is currently reviewing the New Drug Application under priority review, with a regulatory decision expected in 2025.
LX2006 is an investigational adeno-associated virus (AAVrh.10hFXN) gene therapy being sponsored by Lexeo Therapeutics for Friedreich’s ataxia–associated cardiomyopathy. The drug is being designed to intravenously deliver the human frataxin (FXN) gene to cardiac cells, thereby increasing mitochondrial frataxin levels and improving cellular energy production. This Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-escalation study is primarily assessing the safety and tolerability of ascending doses, while also examining cardiac function, biomarkers, and preliminary efficacy over 52 weeks with long-term follow-up.
SGT-212 is a recombinant AAV-based gene replacement therapy being developed by Solid Biosciences Inc. for Friedreich’s ataxia. The Phase 1b FALCON study is currently recruiting and is evaluating the safety, tolerability, and optimal dose of this first-in-human therapy. The study is examining dual delivery via intradentate nucleus infusion and intravenous administration. SGT-212 is designed to deliver full-length human frataxin, aiming to restore mitochondrial function in neurons and cardiomyocytes and address neurological and cardiac disease manifestations.
