ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimarySafety and Tolerability (Incidence of Adverse Events)From initiation of treatment to Day 106 for Part 1 and Day 190 for Part 2The number of participants that had a least one Treatment Emergent Adverse Event for the duration of each of the respective study parts.
PrimarySafety and Tolerability (Severity of Adverse Events, Grade 3 or Higher).From initiation of treatment to Day 106 for Part 1 and Day 190 for Part 2The number of participants that had a least one Treatment Emergent Adverse Event with CTCAE Grade 3 or Higher for the duration of each of the respective study parts.
PrimarySafety and Tolerability (Severity of Adverse Events- Dose Interruption, Reduction and/or Drug Withdrawal)From initiation of treatment to Day 106 for Part 1 and Day 190 for Part 2The number of participants that had a least one Treatment Emergent Adverse Event that led to dose interruption, dose reduction and/or drug withdrawn.
PrimaryTotal Muscle Volume (TMV) of the Treated Muscle in Patients With FSHD Administered ACE-083 or Placebo During Part 2 (Randomized, Controlled Portion)Time Frame: From initiation of treatment to Study Visit Day 190
Total Muscle Volume (TMV)of the treated muscle in Patients with FSHD administered ACE-083 or placebo During Part 2 (randomized, controlled portion) from Baseline to Day 190. Total Muscle volume was measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI was performed bilaterally on the tibialis anterior and the biceps brachii on Day 1, Day Day 43, Day 106, and Day 190. Baseline and Day 190 total muscle volume, means and standard deviations are reported.
PrimaryPercent Change of Total Muscle Volume (TMV) of the Treated Muscle in Patients With FSHD Administered ACE-083 or Placebo During Part 2 (Randomized, Controlled Portion)Time Frame: From initiation of treatment to Study Visit Day 190
Percent Change of Total Muscle Volume (TMV)of the treated muscle in Patients with FSHD administered ACE-083 or placebo During Part 2 (randomized, controlled portion) from Baseline to Day 190. Total Muscle volume was measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI was performed bilaterally on the tibialis anterior and the biceps brachii on Day 1, Day Day 43, Day 106, and Day 190. Percent Change from Baseline to Day 190 total muscle volume, mean and standard deviation is reported.
SecondaryPercent Change in Total Muscle Volume (TMV) in Muscle in Patients With FSHD Administered ACE-083 During Part 1 (Open-label, Dose-escalation Portion)Time Frame: From initiation of treatment to Study Visit Day 106
Percent Change in Total Muscle Volume (TMV) in muscle in patients with FSHD administered ACE-083 During 1 (open-label, dose-escalation portion) from Baseline to Day 106. Total Muscle volume was measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI was performed bilaterally on the tibialis anterior and the biceps brachii on Day 1, Day Day 43, and Day 106, change from Baseline and Day 106 reported.
SecondaryAbsolute Change in Fat Fraction (FF) of the Muscle in Patients With FSHD Administered ACE-083 or Placebo During Part 2 (Randomized, Controlled Portion)Time Frame: From initiation of treatment to Study Visit Day 190
Absolute change in Fat Fraction (FF) of the muscle in patients with FSHD administered ACE-083 or Placebo During Part 2 (randomized, controlled portion) from Baseline to Day 190. Absolute change in intramuscular fat fraction in the tibialis anterior and biceps brachii were measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI was performed bilaterally on the tibialis anterior and the biceps brachii on Day 1, Day Day 43, Day 106, and Day 190, change from Baseline and Day 190 reported.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Function of Tibialis Anterior, Part 2 (Randomized, Controlled Portion)From initiation of treatment (Study Day 1) to Study Visit Day 190Percent change from baseline in function of Tibialis Anterior during Part 2 assessed by: 6-minute walk test, 10 meter walk/run and 4-stair climb (ascend)
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Strength of Biceps Brachii, Part 2, Randomized-controlledFrom initiation of treatment (Study Day 1) to Study Visit Day 190Elbow flexion strength measured by hand-held dynamometry (quantitative muscle testing), maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC).
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Performance of the Upper Limb (PUL) Mid-Level Elbow Dimension, Part 2, Randomized-controlledFrom initiation of treatment (Study Day 1) to Study Visit Day 190
Percent Change from Baseline in Performance of the Upper Limb (PUL) Mid-Level Elbow Dimension, Part 2, Randomized-controlled, PUL from baseline to end of treatment (Day 190). The Performance of the Upper Limb is an assessment specifically designed for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The measures used in this study was a subset of the assessment. PUL was assessment by measures of high-level of movement (lifting weights of 50g, 200g, 500g and 1000g at shoulder height and above shoulder height) and mid-level movement by performing tasks with and without weights: hand to mouth with and without weights (50, 200g), hand to table, moving weights on table (100g, 200g, 500g and 1000g), lift light and heavy cans, stack light and heavy cans, remove lid from container, tearing paper).
