Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. on Monday said it has initiated a rolling submission of a new-drug application seeking U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of omaveloxolone for the treatment of patients with Friedreich's ataxia.

The Plano, Texas, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company said the rolling submission lets it submit portions of the application to the FDA for review on an ongoing basis, adding that it expects to complete the submission by the end of the first quarter of 2022.

Reata said omaveloxolone, if approved, would be the first therapy indicated for the treatment of Friedreich's ataxia, a rare neuromuscular disease.
