Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Assess Dystrophin Levels in Participants With Nonsense Mutation Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (nmDMD) (NCT NCT03648827)

NCT ID: NCT03648827

Last Updated: 2022-04-05

Results Overview

The percent change in dystrophin level from baseline in ambulatory nonsense mutation duchenne muscular dystrophy (nmDMD) participants after treatment with ataluren for 40 weeks was analyzed using quantitative assay (ECL).The least square (LS) mean and 90% confidence interval (CI) were analyzed from a mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) with factors of muscle locations and visits as fixed effects, and participants as a random effect.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 40

Population: ITT population included all enrolled participants with a valid assessment of dystrophin level at baseline, as measured by ECL.

The percent change in dystrophin level from baseline in ambulatory nonsense mutation duchenne muscular dystrophy (nmDMD) participants after treatment with ataluren for 40 weeks was analyzed using quantitative assay (ECL).The least square (LS) mean and 90% confidence interval (CI) were analyzed from a mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) with factors of muscle locations and visits as fixed effects, and participants as a random effect.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 40

Population: ITT population included all enrolled participants with a valid assessment of dystrophin level at baseline, as measured by ECL.

The percent change in dystrophin level from baseline in ambulatory nmDMD participants after 40 weeks of ataluren therapy was determined by IHC membrane stain density. The LS mean and 90% CI were analyzed from an MMRM with factors of muscle locations and visits as fixed effects, and participants as a random effect.
