Clinical Trial Summary

This is a multicenter phase 3 randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of daily subcutaneous injections of elamipretide in subjects with primary mitochondrial myopathy. This will be followed by an open-label treatment extension.

Description:

Part 11 is a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled assessment of the efficacy and safety of single daily subcutaneous (SC) doses of 40 mg elamipretide (vs placebo) administered with the elamipretide delivery system as a treatment for subjects with primary mitochondrial myopathy (PMM). Part 2 was to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of single daily SC doses of 40 mg elamipretide administered with the elamipretide delivery system for up to 144 weeks.

3. Right bundle branch block

• Subject has severe vision impairment that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with their ability to complete all trial requirements

• Subject is currently participating or has participated in an interventional clinical trial (i.e.,investigational product or device, stem cell therapy, gene therapy) within 30 days of the Baseline Visit; or is currently enrolled in a non-interventional clinical trial (except for SPIMM-300) at the Baseline Visit which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may be potentially confounding with results of the current trial (e.g., exercise therapy trial).

• Subject has previously received elamipretide (MTP-131), for any reason.

• Subject has a history of active substance abuse during the year before the Baseline Visit, in the opinion of the Investigator.

• Subject has any prior or current medical condition that, in the judgment of the Investigator, would prevent the subject from safely participating in and/or completing all trial requirements.

PART 2:

Continuation Criteria:

• Subjects must continue to be able and willing to adhere to the trial requirements.

• Subject is appropriate to continue in Part 2 (i.e. subject was compliant in Part 1), in the opinion of the Investigator.

• Subject has not had a serious adverse event (SAE)/serious adverse device effect (SADE) attributed to the elamipretide delivery system.

• Subject has not permanently discontinued the elamipretide delivery system.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Six-minute Walk Test (6MWT)	Change From Baseline in Distance Walked (meters) on the Six-Minute Walk Test by Visit	Baseline to 24 weeks
Primary	Total Fatigue Score on the on the Primary Mitochondrial Myopathy Symptom Assessment (PMMSA)	Change from Baseline in Total fatigue score on the on the Primary Mitochondrial Myopathy Symptom Assessment (PMMSA) by visit. Each individual item score ranges from 1 (none) to 4 (severe). The total fatigue score ranges from 4-16. Lower values represent a better outcome. The total fatigue score is the sum of question 1 through question 4 on the Primary Mitochondrial Myopathy Symptom Assessment.	Baseline to 24 weeks
Secondary	Fatigue During Activities Score on the Primary Mitochondrial Disease Symptom Assessment (PMMSA).	Change from baseline in Fatigue During Activities. Fatigue During Activities is the sum of question 2 (tiredness during activities) and question 4 (muscle weakness during activities.) The four response options are: 1=Not at all, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, and 4=Severe. Raw scores for each subject range from 2-8. A lower score means a better outcome, with less fatigue. A higher score means a worse outcome, with more fatigue.	Baseline to 24 weeks
Secondary	Neuro-QoL Fatigue Activities of Daily Living	Change From Baseline in Neuro-QoL Fatigue Activities of Daily Living by Visit. Each individual item score ranges from 1-5. Total raw score for the entire item bank ranges from 19-95. Raw scores will be calibrated using Item Response Theory Model. Lower values represent a better outcome. Individual items will be summed to calculate total scores.	Baseline to 24 weeks
Secondary	Change From Baseline in the Most Bothersome Symptom Score on the Primary Mitochondrial Myopathy Symptoms Assessment	The item score rangers from 1 (none) to 4 (severe). Lower values represent a better outcome. The most bothersome score is the average of the identified most bothersome symptom of the Primary Mitochondrial Myopathy Symptom Assessment by each subject.	Baseline to 24 weeks
Secondary	Neuro-QoL Fatigue Short Form Score	Change From Baseline in Neuro-QoL Fatigue - Short Form: Total T-Scores by Visit. The Neuro-QoL Fatigue Short Form is comprised of the sum of the first 8 questions of the Neuro-QoL Item Bank v1.0 - Fatigue. Each question is scored as following: 1=Never, 2=Rarely, 3=Sometimes, 4=Often, and 5=Always. The questions include: I felt exhausted, I felt that I had no energy, I felt fatigued, I was too tired to do my household chores, I was too tired to leave the house, I was frustrated by being too tired to do the things I wanted to do, I felt tired, and I had to limit my social activity because I was tired. T-scores are calculated from the short form scoring table provided by the instrument authors (Neuro-QoL User Manual, 2015). T-score distributions rescale raw scores into standardized scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. Change from baseline: Negative numbers mean less fatigue, better outcome, positive score means more fatigue, worse outcome.	24 Weeks
