(NASDAQ: PTCT) announced today the submission of the vatiquinone New Drug Application (NDA) for the treatment of children and adults living with Friedreich ataxia (FA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).\n\"We are excited to have reached this important milestone in the development of vatiquinone,\" said Matthew B. Klein, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of PTC Therapeutics. \"The evidence of short- and long-term efficacy as well as the extensive safety data collected, particularly in children, supports the potential for vatiquinone to fill the significant unmet need for children living with Friedreich ataxia as well as provide a potential treatment option for adults living with FA.\"\nThe vatiquinone NDA is based on data from the placebo-controlled MOVE-FA study as well as results from two long-term studies including pediatric and adult FA patients. Data from these three studies demonstrate significant, durable and clinically meaningful evidence of slowing disease progression on key aspects of disease. In addition, these studies demonstrate that vatiquinone is safe and well tolerated in all age groups studied.\nThe vatiquinone NDA is the fourth approval application PTC has submitted to the FDA this year. The BLA for its AADC gene therapy was submitted in March 2024 and approved in November 2024. NDAs for sepiapterin, for the treatment of adults and children living with phenylketonuria (PKU) and for Translarna™ (ataluren) for the treatment of boys and young men with nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy, have been also submitted and accepted for review. \nAbout VatiquinoneVatiquinone is a small molecule, first-in-class selective inhibitor of 15-Lipoxygenase (15-LO), an enzyme that is a key regulator of the energetic and oxidative stress pathways that are disrupted in Friedreich ataxia. Inhibition of 15-LO helps to alleviate the consequences of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, ultimately decreasing cellular inflammation and oxidative stress and promoting neuronal survival.1,2,3 Vatiquinone has been evaluated in a number of clinical studies, many focused on pediatric patients, and has demonstrated an impact on mortality risk and a number of neurological and neuromuscular disease symptoms.\nAbout MOVE-FAMOVE-FA was a global registration-directed trial of vatiquinone that enrolled 146 pediatric, adolescent and adult FA patients, the majority of whom were under 18 years of age. While the primary endpoint of change from baseline in the overall mFARS score did not reach statistical significance (p=0.14), a statistically significant effect (p=0.021) was recorded on the mFARS upright stability subscale, which was a pre-specified endpoint, and the portion of the mFARS now understood to be the most sensitive and relevant for the enrolled primary analysis population. In addition, the effect on upright stability was concordant with favorable treatment effect on the 1-minute walk distance test and the functional component of the Modified Fatigue Rating Scale. The study included a 72-week placebo-controlled phase and a long-term open-label extension. Following completion of MOVE-FA, subjects were eligible to enroll in a long-term, open-label extension study which is ongoing.\nAbout Friedreich AtaxiaFriedreich ataxia (FA) is a rare, physically debilitating, life-shortening, neuromuscular disorder that mainly affects the central nervous system and the heart.4 It is the most common hereditary ataxia (abnormal, uncoordinated movements) and is usually caused by a single genetic defect in the frataxin (FXN) gene that leads to reduced production of frataxin, a mitochondrial protein that is important for cellular metabolism and energy production.4,5 Decreased frataxin levels are associated with mitochondrial iron accumulation and increased oxidative stress, which can lead to cell death through ferroptosis.6,7,8\nSymptoms include progressive loss of coordination and muscle strength leading to poor balance and coordination, difficulty speaking, swallowing, and breathing, curvature of the spine, serious heart conditions, diabetes, and hearing and vision impairment.9,10 The severity of symptoms and speed of progression varies between people and some symptoms may not be evident in all. Friedreich ataxia is usually diagnosed in childhood or adolescence.5,11 Approximately 25,000 people have Friedreich ataxia globally.\nAbout PTC Therapeutics, Inc.PTC is a global biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and commercializes clinically differentiated medicines that provide benefits to children and adults living with rare disorders.
