By Denny Jacob

 

Biogen's Skyclarys was authorized by the European Commission to treat neurodegenerative disease Friedreich's ataxia in adults and adolescents ages 16 and up.

The biopharmaceutical company said the regulatory body approved Skyclarys based on efficacy and safety data from a placebo-controlled trial.

Early symptoms of Friedreich's ataxia typically appear in childhood and include progressive loss of coordination, muscle weakness and fatigue.
