Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 2 to 17 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Subject has genetically confirmed diagnosis of FRDA manifested by homozygous GAA repeat expansions, with repeat sizing (if available) included on the diagnosis report.
  • Male or female subjects ≥ 2 to < 18 years of age at screening.
  • Subjects must weigh ≥ 10.0 kg.
  • Subject must be able to traverse a distance of 25 feet with or without some assistive device (e.g., cane, walker, crutches, self-propelled wheelchair) and meet the following requirements:
  • Be able to sit upright with thighs together and arms crossed without requiring support on more than 2 sides;
  • Be able to transfer from bed to chair independently or with assistance if, in the opinion of the investigator, the degree of physical disability does not result in undue risk to the subject while participating in the study; and
  • Perform basic age-appropriate daily care, such as feeding themselves and personal hygiene, with minimal assistance.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects who are confirmed as compound heterozygous (GAA repeat expansion on only 1 allele) for FRDA.
  • Subject has any condition, disease, or situation, including a cardiac condition or disease, that in the opinion of the investigator could confound the results of the study or put the subject at undue risk, making participation inadvisable.
  • Subjects currently receiving or having received omaveloxolone within 30 days prior to Screening.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Subcutaneous Nomlabofusp in Adolescents and Children With Friedreich's Ataxia

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of nomlabofusp (CTI-1601) in adolescents and children with Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA).

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating a weight-based dose of nomlabofusp versus placebo in adolescents and children with FRDA. The study will consist of at least two cohorts with at least 12 to 15 participants in each cohort. Participants will be dosed once daily (QD) for 7 days.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NomlabofuspDrug

    Also called CTI-1601

    Nomlabofusp is a recombinant fusion protein provided in a sterile, preservative-free buffered solution for subcutaneous injection intended to deliver human frataxin, the protein deficient in Friedreich's ataxia.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Also called CTI-1601 Placebo, Nomlabofusp Placebo

    The placebo is a sterile, preservative-free, clear liquid for subcutaneous injection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Nomlabofusp in people with Friedreich Ataxia, run by Larimar Therapeutics, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Review of Cohort 1 data facilitated direct enrollment into open label study and eliminate pause in study drug administration between PK study and open label study.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of AEs, TEAEs, related TEAEs, Grade 3/4 TEAEs, and SAEs (time frame: Up to 72 days (including screening)). The study lists 67 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06681766, which also lists 10 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jul 2026.
