Clinical Trial Summary

A randomized, double-blind cross over trial to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of elamipretide in subjects with Barth syndrome.

Description:

A phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of subcutaneous injections of elamipretide in subjects with genetically confirmed Barth syndrome followed by open-label treatment extension. Part 1 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy single daily subcutaneous (SC) doses of 40 mg elamipretide administered for 12 weeks in subjects with Barth syndrome. Part 2: This was an open-label extension trial to assess the long-term safety, tolerability, and longitudinal trends in efficacy single daily SC doses of 40 mg elamipretide for up to 192 weeks.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Part 1: Distance Walked During the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) by Visit	Average distance walked in meters during the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) at end of treatment, where end of treatment means end of Visit 5 (Week 12) for Period 1 and end of Visit 10 (Week 12) for Period 2. Results were pooled for each 12 week period.	Pre-dose to Week 12 (end of treatment)
Primary	Part 1: Total Fatigue Score Based on the BTHS-SA by Visit.	Total Fatigue Score (Q1, Q2, and Q4) Based on the BarTH Syndrome Symptom Assessment (BTHS-SA) by visit at predose, Weeks 1, 4, 8, and 12 (end of treatment). The BTHS-SA is 3-question fatigue assessment using a 0 to 4-point scale for each question where no fatigue =0 and very severe fatigue =4, with scores from all 3 questions combined and averaged for all subjects; a lower score means better outcome, higher score means a worse outcome. Combined Min score=0, max score =12. Weekly values are based on the weekly average of the last 7 days before the site or visiting nurse visit for both periods. Results from each 12-week period were combined, where end of treatment for Period 1 =Visit 5 (week 12), and End of Period 2 = Visit 10 (week 12)	Pre-dose, Weeks 1, 4, 8, and 12 (end of treatment)
Secondary	Part 2: Distance Walked During the 6MWT	Change from baseline for distance walked in meters during the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) by visit where Baseline= Part 1 Period 1 Pre-dose	Baseline to Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 168, 192
Secondary	Part 2: Change From Baseline: Total Fatigue Score (Q1, Q2, and Q4) Based on the BTHS-SA by Visit	Change from Baseline (mean) in Total Fatigue Score (Q1, Q2, and Q4) Based on the BarTH Syndrome Symptom Assessment (BTHS-SA) by visit. The BTHS-SA is 3-question fatigue assessment using a 0-4 point scale for each question where no fatigue =0 and very severe fatigue =4, with scores from all 3 questions combined and averaged for all subjects by visit; a lower score means better outcome, higher score means a worse outcome. Change from baseline: an increase in scores would mean worse outcome, a decrease in scores means better outcome. Combined Min score=-12, max score =12. Weekly values are based on the weekly average of the last 7 days before the site or visiting nurse visit for both periods. Baseline= Period 1 Predose.	Baseline to Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192
Secondary	Part 1: Muscle Strength as Measured by HHD by Visit	Muscle strength as measured by handheld dynamometry (HHD) in Newtons, where end of treatment means end of Visit 5 (Week 12) for Period 1 and end of Visit 10 (Week 12) for Period 2. Results were pooled for each 12 week period. Handheld dynamometry assesses the average strength of the knee extensors of both legs.	Pre-dose to Week 12 (end of treatment)
Secondary	Part 2: Change From Baseline: Muscle Strength by HHD (Newtons) by Visit	Muscle strength as measured by handheld dynamometry (HHD) in Newtons. Handheld dynamometry assesses the average strength of the knee extensors of both legs. Change from baseline where Baseline= Part 1 Period 1 Pre-dose: the greater positive change, the better the outcome, the smaller positive change (or negative change) the number the worse the outcome.	Baseline to Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96,168, 192

Secondary	Part 2: Change From Baseline: 5X Sit to Stand by Visit	Change in baseline in time (in seconds), where Baseline= Part 1 Period 1 Pre-dose to complete the Five Times Sit-To-Stand by visit. More time means worse outcome, less time means better outcome.	Baseline to Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 168, 192
Secondary	Part 1: SWAY Application Balance Assessments by Visit	SWAY application balance assessment consists of five stances each performed for 10 seconds and scores postural stability on a scale from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better postural stability from Pre-dose to Week 12 (end of treatment), where end of treatment means end of Visit 5 (Week 12) for Period 1 and end of Visit 10 (Week 12) for Period 2. Results were pooled for each 12 week period.	Pre-dose to Week 12 (end of treatment)
Secondary	Part 2: Change From Baseline: SWAY Application Balance Assessment	Change from Baseline: SWAY Application Balance Assessment,where Baseline= Part 1 Period 1 Pre-doseSWAY application balance assessment consists of five stances each performed for 10 seconds and scores postural stability on a scale from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better postural stability. An increase from baseline is a better outcome and a decrease in score is a worse outcome.	Baseline to Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96,168, 192
Secondary	Part 1: Patient Global Impression Scales of Symptoms	Patient-reported health status over the past week, by visit, where end of treatment means end of Visit 5 (Week 12) for Period 1 and end of Visit 10 (Week 12) for Period 2.
