Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women with Friedreich's Ataxia who took omaveloxolone at any time from shortly before conception through pregnancy and/or while breastfeeding up to one year postpartum.
✕Probably not a fit
People who never took omaveloxolone (including men and women unexposed during pregnancy or lactation) would not benefit from this surveillance program.

What this trial studies
This is a worldwide, non‑interventional surveillance program collecting both prospective and retrospective data on women with Friedreich's Ataxia who were exposed to omaveloxolone during pregnancy and/or lactation. The study gathers medical records and patient-reported information about maternal complications, pregnancy outcomes, and infant health through at least the first year of life. Participants can enroll themselves or be referred by their treating clinicians, and no changes to routine medical care are required. Data are collected in the post‑marketing setting to describe potential risks associated with exposure to omaveloxolone in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could provide clearer safety information to help patients and doctors make informed treatment and breastfeeding decisions during pregnancy and postpartum.
How similar studies have gone: Pregnancy and lactation registries for other drugs have successfully identified safety signals and guided clinical counseling, but this is the first large post‑marketing surveillance focused on omaveloxolone exposure in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
