NAD+ Precursor Supplementation in Friedreich's Ataxia

Summary

The primary objective is to test the safety and tolerability of short-term therapy with a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) precursor (MIB-626) in adults with Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) without overt heart failure and with a left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 40%. A key secondary objective is to test the effects of MIB-626 on cardiac and skeletal muscle bioenergetics.
