Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Part 2- Frequency of Adverse Events - Presence and Nature of Adverse Events (AE) During Part 2
The number of participants that had a least one Treatment Emergent Adverse Event during the Part 2 of the study. The pre-specified analysis for this outcome measure was for those participants in the part 2 cohorts of this study therefore, only data of part 2 portion of the study are reported.
Part 2: Frequency of Adverse Events - Presence and Nature of Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events (AE) During the Part 2 of the Study.
The number of participants that had a least one grade 3 or higher Treatment Emergent Adverse Event during Part 2 of the study. The pre-specified analysis for this outcome measure was for those participants in the double-blind, placebo-controlled Part 2 of the study therefore, only data from the part 2 portion of the study are reported.
Part 2: Change in Total Muscle Volume - Percent Change From Baseline to Day 113 in Total Muscle Volume of Injected Muscle by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) During the Part 2 Portion
The primary pharmacodynamic variable was the difference in mean percent change in total muscle volume (average of left and right side) at the first 6 months of the maintenance phase (Day 169; q4w or q8w) from the total muscle volume (average of left and right sides) at the start of the maintenance phase (or equivalently the end of the loading phase). Due to the early termination of this trial, percent change is only able to be reported as percent change from baseline to Day 113. The pre-specified analysis for this outcome measure was for those participants in the part 2 portion in cohorts with data to Day 113. Therefore, only data from these part 2 arms- 2b, 2c, 3b and 3c of the study are reported.

The maximum score is 16, with 16 being highest functionality. Reportable data is for Cohort 3b only.

Part 2: Change in Patient-reported Quality of Life. Absolute Change From Baseline in FSHD-health Index Total Score (FSHD-HI, in Patients With FSHD Only)
The FSHD Health Index (FSHD-HI) is a disease-specific patient reported outcome questionnaire that uses direct patient input to measure disease burden. For this index, the total score is scored from 0 to 100 with 0 representing no disease burden and 100 representing the maximum amount of disease burden in the particular domain. Pre-specified analysis was for FSHD cohorts only with absolute change in total score reported as this trial was terminated early.
Part2: Change in Patient-reported Quality of Life. Absolute Change From Baseline in CMT Health Index Total Score (CMT-HI, in Patients With CMT Only)
Part 2: The CMT-Health Index (CMT-HI) is a disease-specific patient reported outcome measure designed to measure patient reported disease burden during clinical trials in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease. For this index, the total score is scored from 0 to 100 with 0 representing no disease burden and 100 representing the maximum amount of disease burden. Pre-specified analysis was for cohorts of CMT participants only and due to the early termination of this trial, the absolute change is reported for the change from Baseline to Day 113.
Part 1: ACE-083 Serum Concentration Samples Part 1-Day1, 24-hour Post-dose
Part1: ACE-083 serum concentration samples were taken on day 1, 24-hours post-dose. PK parameters of ACE-083 were not determined due to limited quantifiable concentration data. Pre-specified analysis was for part 1 cohorts only, therefore, available data is only reported for part 1 cohorts (1a, 1b and 1c). Mean and standard deviation descriptive statistics are being reported for the Day 1, 24-hour post-dose timepoint only, due to early termination of this trial.
Part1: ACE-083 Serum Concentration Samples Part 1-Day 85, 24-hour Post-dose
Part1: ACE-083 serum concentration samples were taken on day 85, 24-hours post-dose. PK parameters of ACE-083 were not determined due to limited quantifiable concentration data. Pre-specified analysis was for part 1 cohorts only, therefore, available data is only reported for part 1 cohorts (1a, 1b and 1c). Mean and standard deviation descriptive statistics are being reported for the Day 85, 24-hour post-dose timepoint only, due to early termination of this trial.
Part1: Pharmacokinetics Parameter of Time to Maximum Serum Concentration Following Administration (Tmax)
Part 1: ACE-083 concentrations ranged from 20.1 to 238.6 μg/L across FSHD and CMT cohorts with the majority of serum concentrations were below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) or just above LLOQ. Further, given the early termination of this trial, there were not enough samples per cohort collected at the pre-specified timeline points to be able to determine Tmax.
Part1: Pharmacokinetics Parameter of Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC)
Part 1: ACE-083 concentrations ranged from 20.1 to 238.6 μg/L across FSHD and CMT cohorts with the majority of serum concentrations were below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) or just above LLOQ. Further, given the early termination of this trial, there were not enough samples per cohort collected at the pre-specified timeline points to be able to determine AUC.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is an open-label, multicenter, phase 2 extension study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and efficacy of ACE-083 in subjects with FSHD previously enrolled in Study A083-02 and subjects with CMT1 and CMTX previously enrolled in Study A083-03. This study will be conducted in two Parts: Part 1, which is a loading phase of 6 months' duration, and Part 2, the maintenance phase, which will last up to 24 months.
Detailed Description
Part 1 (6-month, non-randomized, open-label, loading phase for subjects from A083-02 Part 1 and A083-03 Part 1) Part 1 will consist of 3 cohorts of up to 18 subjects each. Subjects enrolled in Cohorts 1a and 1b will have completed Part 1 of Study A083-02; subjects enrolled in Cohort 1c will have completed Part 1 of Study A083-03. In this loading phase, 240 mg/muscle ACE-083 will be administered bilaterally every 4 weeks (q4w) for 6 doses (6 months) into either the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle or the biceps brachii (BB) muscle, depending on the muscle injected in the previous study; subjects may not switch muscle cohort upon enrollment in this study. Subjects will participate in a screening period of up to 4 weeks before receiving the first dose of ACE-083. Part 2 (24-month, randomized, open-label rollover maintenance phase for subjects from A083-02 Part 2, A083-03 Part 2, and A083-04 Part 1) Subjects who complete Part 1 of this study (the loading phase), Part 2 of A083-02, or Part 2 of A083-03 will enroll directly into the Part 2 open-label maintenance phase of treatment with ACE-083 and will consist of 6 cohorts of up to 23 FSHD or 29 CMT subjects each. These subjects will be randomized (1:1) to receive ACE-083, 240 mg/muscle bilaterally, either q4w or q8w. Thus, subjects enrolled in Cohorts 2a, 2b, and 2c will be FSHD TA, FSHD BB, and CMT TA treated q4w, and subjects enrolled in Cohorts 3a, 3b, and 3c will be FSHD TA, FSHD BB, and CMT TA treated q8w. Study duration for a subject initially enrolled in Part 1 and then extended to Part 2 will be approximately 33 months, including a 1-month screening period, 6-month Part 1 loading phase, 24-month Part 2 maintenance phase, and 2-month follow-up period. For subjects who enrolled directly into Part 2 of this study from Part 2 of Studies A083-02 and A083-03, the duration of the study will be approximately 26 months, including a 24-month maintenance phase and a 2-month follow-up period.

Description
The FSHD Health Index (FSHD-HI) is a disease-specific patient reported outcome questionnaire that uses direct patient input to measure disease burden. For this index, the total score is scored from 0 to 100 with 0 representing no disease burden and 100 representing the maximum amount of disease burden in the particular domain. Pre-specified analysis was for FSHD cohorts only with absolute change in total score reported as this trial was terminated early.
