A Study to Learn More About the Effects and Long-Term Safety of Omaveloxolone (BIIB141) in Children and Teens With Friedreich's Ataxia (BRAVE)

June 2, 2026 updated by: Biogen

A Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Omaveloxolone (BIIB141) in Participants With Friedreich's Ataxia Aged 2 to < 16 Years

In this study, researchers will learn more about omaveloxolone, also known as BIIB141 or SKYCLARYS®. Omaveloxolone is already approved for people with Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) who are 16 years of age or older. However, it is not yet available for younger teens and children. The main goal of this study is to learn how omaveloxolone affects symptoms of FA and its safety in younger participants between the ages of 2 and 15 years old.

The main questions researchers want to answer in this study are:

  • How does omaveloxolone affect the participants' FA symptoms?
  • How many participants have adverse events during the study?
  • Are there any changes in the participants' overall health or heart health? Adverse events are health problems that may or may not be caused by the study drug.

Researchers will use the modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) to test nerve function. The mFARS tests movement ability, balance, coordination, speech, and arm and leg functions.

They will also use a number of questionnaires to learn more about participants' quality of life, muscle strength, and ability to perform daily tasks. Researchers will also note any changes as participants go through puberty.

Finally, researchers will learn more about how the body processes omaveloxolone in children and teenagers.

This study will be done in 2 parts as follows:

  • Participants will be screened for up to 4 weeks to check if they can join the study.
  • In Part 1, participants will be randomly assigned to take either omaveloxolone or a placebo by mouth once a day for about 1 year. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine.
  • Part 1 will be double blind. This means that the participants, study doctor, and site staff will not know if the participants are receiving omaveloxolone or a placebo.
  • Including screening, participants will have up to 9 clinic visits and 1 phone call during Part 1. If a participant does not join Part 2, they will have another safety follow-up phone call a month after their last dose of omaveloxolone.
  • Participants who complete Part 1 will move onto Part 2 where everyone will receive omaveloxolone for about 2 years.
  • During Part 2, participants will have up to 8 clinic visits and 1 phone call. Participants will also have a follow-up phone call about a month after they stop taking omaveloxolone.
  • In total, participants will have up to 17 clinic visits and 3 phone calls. Each participant will be in the study for up to 3 years.

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of Part 1 is to evaluate the efficacy of omaveloxolone as measured by upright stability score (USS) and the secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of omaveloxolone as measured by additional secondary efficacy outcomes, safety of omaveloxolone and the plasma concentration of omaveloxolone after single and multiple dose administration.

The primary objective of Part 2A is to evaluate the efficacy of omaveloxolone and the secondary objectives are to characterize the efficacy of omaveloxolone as measured by additional secondary outcomes, evaluate the safety and tolerability of omaveloxolone and plasma concentration of omaveloxolone after single and multiple dose administration.

The primary objective for Part 2B is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term omaveloxolone use and the secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of omaveloxolone following long-term use.

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Part 1: Change From Baseline in Upright Stability Score (USS) Subscale E of Modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) at Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52
The mFARS is a validated and sensitive rating scale that was developed to quantitatively assess the severity of the neurologic features of FA in adults and adolescents. Scores on the mFARS range from 0 to 93, with lower scores indicating better neurological function. The subscales of the mFARS assessment and maximum score for each subscale are: bulbar function (Subscale A; 2 assessments of speech and cough; maximum score = 5), upper limb coordination (Subscale B; 5 assessments of coordination of movement and function in arms and hands with each limb scored individually; maximum score = 36), lower limb coordination (Subscale C; 2 assessments of coordination of movement and function of lower limbs with each limb scored individually; maximum score = 16), and upright stability (USS, Subscale E; 9 assessments of sitting posture, stance, tandem walk, and gait assessments; maximum score = 36).

Time Frame: Baseline (Week 52 of Part 1), Weeks 52 and 104
The C-SSRS is a low-burden measure of the spectrum of suicidal ideation and behavior that was developed to assess severity and track suicidal events through any treatment of individuals ≥ 6 years of age. The C-SSRS is a clinical interview providing a summary of both ideation and behavior that can be administered by the clinician during any evaluation or risk assessment to identify the level and type of suicidality present. The assessment includes "yes" or "no" responses for 5 questions each, related to suicidal ideation (wish to be dead, non-specific active suicidal thoughts, active suicidal ideation with any methods, active suicidal ideation with some intent, active suicidal ideation with specific plan) and suicidal behavior (preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, suicide). Numeric ratings are provided for severity of ideation, from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most severe.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Part 1: Change From Baseline in Friedreich's Ataxia-Health Index (FA-HI) at Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52
The FA-HI is a participant reported survey that assesses overall disease burden on a 100-point scale, with 0 representing no disease burden and 100 representing the maximum level of disease burden containing 113 symptoms questions representing 18 symptomatic subscales.
Baseline, Week 52
Part 1: Change From Baseline in Modified Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (mFARS) at Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52
The mFARS is a validated and sensitive rating scale that was developed to quantitatively assess the severity of the neurologic features of FA in adults and adolescents. Scores on the mFARS range from 0 to 93, with lower scores indicating better neurological function. The subscales of the mFARS assessment and maximum score for each subscale are: bulbar function (Subscale A; 2 assessments of speech and cough; maximum score = 5), upper limb coordination (Subscale B; 5 assessments of coordination of movement and function in arms and hands with each limb scored individually; maximum score = 36), lower limb coordination (Subscale C; 2 assessments of coordination of movement and function of lower limbs with each limb scored individually; maximum score = 16), and upright stability (USS, Subscale E; 9 assessments of sitting posture, stance, tandem walk, and gait assessments; maximum score = 36).
Baseline, Week 52
Part 1: Change From Baseline in Patient Global Impressions-Severity (PGI-S) at Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52
PGI-S will be conducted for participants 7 to < 16 years of age. These are clinically meaningful outcome measures that are participant-relevant across all age groups and disease severities for this population. PGI -S is a 1-item questionnaire where the response is recorded on a 4-point scale scored as: 1-normal, 2-mild, 3-moderate, or 4-severe.
Baseline, Week 52
Part 1: Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) at Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52
The CGI-S will be conducted for all enrolled participants, 2 to < 16 years of age. The CGI-S rating evaluates the severity of individual symptoms and treatment response in participants with mental disorders. The CGI-S is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the participant's illness at the time of assessment. A rating of 1 is considered normal, or with the least severe symptoms, a rating of 7 is extremely ill, or the worst symptoms.
Baseline, Week 52
Part 1: Change From Baseline in Friedreich's Ataxia-Activities of Daily Living (FA-ADL)

Part 1: Change From Baseline in Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) at Week 52
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52
The C-SSRS is a low-burden measure of the spectrum of suicidal ideation and behavior that was developed to assess severity and track suicidal events through any treatment of individuals ≥ 6 years of age. The C-SSRS is a clinical interview providing a summary of both ideation and behavior that can be administered by the clinician during any evaluation or risk assessment to identify the level and type of suicidality present. The assessment includes "yes" or "no" responses for 5 questions each, related to suicidal ideation (wish to be dead, non-specific active suicidal thoughts, active suicidal ideation with any methods, active suicidal ideation with some intent, active suicidal ideation with specific plan) and suicidal behavior (preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, suicide). Numeric ratings are provided for severity of ideation, from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most severe.
