About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) focused on measuring FSHD, FSHD1, Muscular Dystrophy, Muscular Dystrophies, Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Disorders, Musculoskeletal Diseases, Neuromuscular Diseases
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- The patient must have consented to participate and must have provided signed, dated and witnessed an IRB-approved informed consent form that conforms to federal and institutional guidelines.
- Male or female subjects
- Patients must be between 18 and 65 years of age, inclusive
- Must be will and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, study restrictions, laboratory tests, contraceptive guidelines and other study procedures.
- Will practice an approved method of birth control
Exclusion Criteria:
- Has a history of any illness or any clinical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk in administering study drug to the subject. This may include, but is not limited to, a history of relevant drug or food allergies; history of cardiovascular or central nervous system disease; neuromuscular diseases except FSHD (eg, myopathy, neuropathy, neuromuscular junction disorders); or clinically significant history of mental disease.
- For subjects who are on drug(s) or supplements that may affect muscle function, as determined by the treating physician, or that are included in the list of drugs presented in the protocol, subjects must be on a stable dose of that drug(s) or supplement for at least 3 months prior to the first dose of study drug and remain on that stable dose for the duration of the study. Changes to the dose or treatment discontinuation during the study can only be done for strict medical reasons by the treating physician with clear documentation and notification to the sponsor.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is an open-label extension to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term dosing of Losmapimod in patients with FSHD1 who participated in the ReDux4 study.
Detailed Description
This study is an open-label extension study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term dosing of Losmapimod in patients with FSHD1 who participated in the ReDux4 study.
This study is a multi-center clinical trial. It will be conducted in North America, Canada and Europe. Only patients who participated and competed all study procedures in the ReDUX4 Study treatment period will be eligible to participate in this open label extension study.
Patients who complete the randomized, placebo-controlled portion of the study will have the option to roll over into the open-label extension study.
Patients will receive 15 mg of losmapimod by mouth twice daily for a total of 30 mg by mouth daily. All patients will attend clinic visits approximately every 12 weeks.
Participation in this open-label extension study will continue until 90 days after losmapimod becomes commercially available, the patient withdraws from the study, or the Sponsor decides to close the study.
The primary endpoint of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term dosing of losmapimod in patients with FSHD.
