Study update summary
29 Jun, 2026Program and Regulatory Milestones
Rolling BLA submission for nomlabofusp initiated, with the first module submitted and remaining modules expected in the second half of 2026; FDA confirmed the data package is sufficient and reaffirmed willingness to consider FXN as a surrogate endpoint.
Global confirmatory Phase 3 trial to begin dosing in Q3 2026, enrolling ambulatory patients aged 2–40 years, with sites in the U.S., EU, U.K., Canada, and Australia.
Multiple regulatory designations awarded in the U.S., EU, and U.K. to expedite development, including Breakthrough Therapy and Orphan Drug Designations.
Priority review voucher expected at approval, with a potential U.S. launch in mid-2027.
Financial runway extends into Q2 2027, with $200 million in cash as of March 31.
Study Design and Patient Population
Open-label study evaluates long-term safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and clinical outcomes of daily 50 mg nomlabofusp, expanded to include adults, adolescents, and children aged 2–11 without prior exposure.
76 participants enrolled across the program; 66 received at least one dose; over 10,000 doses administered.
As of June 2026, 43 participants had received at least one dose in the open-label study; 22 remain in the study, with up to 800 days of treatment.
Patient population is more severe than typical FA trials, with a mean baseline mFARS score of 55 and about half non-ambulatory; 51% ambulatory and 49% previously exposed to omaveloxolone.
Baseline characteristics of the open-label group matched to a FACOMS reference group for comparative analysis.
Efficacy and Clinical Outcomes
Nomlabofusp increased skin FXN levels to those seen in asymptomatic carriers, with 82% reaching target at 6 months and 100% at 1 year and 18 months.
At 1 year, a 2.6-point mFARS advantage was observed compared to the FACOMS reference group; at 18 months, the advantage increased to 4.6 points.
Mean mFARS improvement of 1.0 point at 1 year and 2.3 points at 18 months in treated participants, compared to worsening in the reference group.
Improvements observed in Nine Hole Peg Test and FARS-ADL, with one non-ambulatory participant regaining ambulation and no ambulatory participants losing mobility at one year.
Correlations observed between FXN increases and clinical improvements, supported by gene expression and lipid biomarker data.
