Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluate Safety and Biological Activity of ATYR1940 in Participants With Early Onset Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (NCT NCT02603562)

NCT ID: NCT02603562

Last Updated: 2023-10-19

Results Overview

TEAEs were defined as adverse events (AEs) with an onset following administration of the first dose of study drug. AEs were defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered study drug and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study drug. Worsening of a pre-existing medical condition should have been considered an AE if there was either an increase in severity, frequency, or duration of the condition or an association with significantly worse outcomes. SAEs were defined as any AE that, in the view of either the Investigator or Sponsor, resulted in any of the following outcomes as fatal, life-threatening, required in-participant hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, an important medical event. A summary of all SAEs and Other AEs (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in 'Reported Adverse Events' Section.

Population: Safety analysis set included all participants who received at least 1 full or partial dose of ATYR1940 and had a post-infusion safety observation.

Laboratory parameters included hematology (hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cell count, white blood cell count with differential \[neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils\], and platelet count); serum chemistries (blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, calcium, chloride, magnesium, inorganic phosphate, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, troponin, myoglobin, insulin-like growth factor 1, and cholesterol \[nonfasting\]); and urinalysis (color, pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, and blood). Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities were based upon Investigator's discretion.

MMT was graded on a scale from 0 (no movement) to 10 (normal movement). Each side of the body and the position in which each muscle was tested were recorded for each participant. The total MMT score were calculated by averaging a converted-MMT scores across all tested muscle groups. Decreased motor function was indicated by decreased individual muscle or composite MMT score.
