Long-Term Safety Extension Study of ACTIMMUNE® (Interferon γ-1b) in Children and Young Adults With Friedreich's Ataxia

Amgen38 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this long term extension study is to evaluate the long-term safety of ACTIMMUNE® (interferon-γ 1b) in participants with Friedreich's Ataxia (FA).

This is a multi-center, open-label, long-term safety extension study of ACTIMMUNE® in the treatment of FA in children and young adults. Participants who complete 26 weeks of treatment and the Week 28 Follow-Up Visit in HZNP-ACT-302 (NCT02593773) will be eligible to enter this long-term safety extension protocol. The Day 1 Visit of this study (HZNP-ACT-303) occurs on the same day as the Week 28 Follow-Up Visit for HZNP-ACT-302 (NCT02593773). Participants will be required to return for clinic visits at least every 6 months. The treatment duration is open-ended, and treatment will continue until ACTIMMUNE® is commercially available for the treatment of FA in the United States or until the Sponsor decides not to continue development for the treatment of FA.

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence, whether or not the event is considered related to the investigational product. A TEAE is any adverse change from the subject's baseline condition, including any laboratory test value abnormality judged as clinically significant by the investigator, that occurs on or after the date of the first dose of study drug administered at home and throughout the duration of the clinical study, whether the adverse event is considered related to the treatment or not. A serious AE (SAE) is an AE that results in death, is life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or other medically important event.
