Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Annual Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Vital Capacity (ppFVC) at Week 104
FVC is a standard pulmonary function test used to quantify respiratory muscle weakness. FVC was the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out after full inspiration in the upright position, measured in liters. Predicted FVC is based on a formula using sex, age and height of a person, and is an estimate of healthy lung capacity. Percent of predicted FVC = (observed value)/(predicted value) * 100%. Analysis was done using a random coefficient model (RCM), which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume at 1 Second (ppFEV1) at Week 104
FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation. Predicted FEV1 is based on a formula using sex, age and height of a person, and is an estimate of healthy lung capacity. Percent of predicted FEV1= (observed value)/(predicted value) * 100%. Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.
Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) at Week 104
Percent predicted PEF is a measure of the maximal or peak flow produced during an exhalation with maximal effort and, as such, is the most effort-dependent measure of lung function. Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.
Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Percentage (LVEF%) at Week 104
LVEF% is an important measure of cardiac function. LVEF is a fraction of blood (in percent) pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart (the main pumping chamber). Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.
Change From Baseline in Performance of Upper Limb (PUL) Total Score at Week 104
The PUL was used to assess motor performance of the upper limb. The PUL scale includes 22 items; an entry item defining the starting functional level, and 21 items subdivided into shoulder level (4 items), elbow level (9 items), and distal level (8 items) dimensions. Scoring options per item may not be uniform and may vary from 0-1 and 0-6, according to the performance, with higher values corresponding to better performance. Each dimension was scored separately with a maximum score of 16 for shoulder level, 34 for elbow level, and 24 for distal level. Total score was calculated by adding the 3 level scores, with a maximum global score of 74 (total score range = 0-74). Higher score = better outcome. Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.
Change From Baseline in Grip Strength by Hand, as Measured by Hand Held Myometry (HHM) at Week 104
The HHM was used to measure distal upper arm strength (grip strength). Data has been presented by dominant and non-dominant hand. Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.
Change From Baseline in Pinch Strength, as Measured by HHM at Week 104
The HHM was used to measure distal upper arm strength (pinch strength). Data has been presented by dominant and non-dominant hand. Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.
Change From Baseline in Cardiac Fibrosis (Scar Mass), as Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at Week 104
Cardiac MRI was used to assess the cardiac fibrosis by detecting the presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), a marker for myocardial fibrosis. Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.
Change From Baseline in Upper Arm (Biceps Brachii MRI) Muscle Fat and Fibrosis Score, as Measured by MRI at Week 104
T2-mapping with MRI was conducted to measure upper arm muscle fibrosis and fat in the biceps brachii muscle. Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect. The visual score for muscle fat and fibrosis will be assessed using a modified 5-point Mercuri score in which 0 = normal muscle appearance and 5 = complete replacement of muscle by connective tissue and fat, where a lower score indicated visually healthier muscle. Change from baseline was calculated as the score at Week 104 - the score at baseline.
Change From Baseline in Fat Fraction Percentage (%F), as Measured by MRI at Week 104
Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.
