+Added: In March 2025, the Company announced that FDA stated as part of a START pilot program that it is open to considering the use of FXN concentration as a reasonably likely surrogate endpoint (“RLSE”) and the acceptability of FXN’s concentration as an RLSE to support approval will be a matter of review in a future marketing application.
+Added: FDA recommended focusing on assessments of skin FXN concentrations rather than buccal FXN concentrations due to more consistent sampling and less variability.
+Added: FDA acknowledged that data the Company recently submitted appear to support a relationship between increased FXN concentrations in skin cells and relevant tissues such as the heart, dorsal root ganglion and skeletal muscle.
+Added: FDA also acknowledged that the nonclinical studies the Company submitted were performed at relevant human doses.
+Added: FDA also suggested that the Company consider exploring the relationship between increases in FXN in skin and changes in pharmacodynamic (PD) markers such as lipid profiles and/or clinical measures to provide additional support for the use of FXN as an RLSE.
+Added: The Company continues to interact with the FDA under the START pilot program, including seeking feedback on the adequacy of the safety data set for a BLA submission seeking accelerated approval targeted for the end of 2025.
+Added: Additionally, the Company has obtained feedback from both FDA and EMA on the global Phase 3 study protocol, and the Company is on track to initiate the study by mid-2025 with potential sites in the U.S., E.U., U.K, Canada, and Australia.
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to pre-commercial companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development and commercialization by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with governmental regulations, failure to secure regulatory approval for its drug candidates or any other product candidates and the ability to secure additional capital to fund its operations.
