Overview
Characteristics and clinical course of disease In participants with cardiomyopathy associated with Friedreich Ataxia (CLARITY-FA)
Description
Study LX2006-02 is a prospective, longitudinal, low-intervention, multicenter, global study aimed at characterizing the nature and rate of cardiac disease progression in participants with genetically confirmed FA-CM.
Eligibility

- Confirmed left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH)
- Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥40%
Exclusion Criteria:
- Presence of other form(s) of CM contributing to heart failure (HF), clinically significant cardiac anatomic abnormality or congenital cardiac malformation, clinically significant coronary artery, uncorrected, hemodynamically significant primary structural valvular disease not due to CM
- Currently receiving intermittent or continuous intravenous (IV) inotrope infusion, presence of a ventricular assist device, or history of prior heart transplantation
- Contraindication to cMRI
- Prior organ transplantation
- Initiation of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) within 6 months prior to screening.
