Research is at a pivotal time for Ataxia – with one medication in clinical trial and more in the pipeline. We received 84 applications for Ataxia research grants this year! Work with us to get as many of them funded as possible. We want to give researchers the support that they need, so that they can look for the answers that we need. Join NAF’s 2017 Research Drive!

This Podcast from the annual NAF Meeting in Las Vegas, March, 2019 features Gil L’Italien, PhD, Head of GHEOR and Epidemiology and Melissa Wolfe Beiner, MD, Director of Research and Development and Ataxia Medical Lead, both from Biohaven Pharmaceuticals.  They are with us to highlight some important and encouraging new data from an expanded analysis of their data from their first clinical trial of troriluzole in SCA patients.  This clinical trial was the first registrational trial in SCA patients in the United States.  In addition, they will discuss a new clinical trial, which is beginning this month at sites across the country, studying troriluzole in SCA patients with a new study design, optimized from data from their initial study, as well as data from the US Natural History Study.  This work reflects a collaboration between Biohaven and numerous experts in the ataxia field across the country.

Expanded analysis of their data from their first clinical trial of troriluzole in SCA patients.
