About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety, Tolerability, Biological Activity, and Systemic Exposure of ATYR1940 in Adult Patients With Fascioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD)

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability profile of ATYR1940 in the treatment of adult participants with molecularly defined genetic muscular dystrophies.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability profile of ATYR1940 in the treatment of adult participants with molecularly defined genetic muscular dystrophies, and to additionally explore the pharmacokinetics and biologic activity of ATYR1940 in adult participants with molecularly defined genetic muscular dystrophies. Participants who successfully complete the parent study (NCT02239224) are eligible for enrollment into this long-term extension study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    TEAEs were defined as adverse events (AEs) with an onset following administration of the first dose of study drug. AEs ware defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered study drug and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study drug. Worsening of a pre-existing medical condition should have been considered an AE if there was either an increase in severity, frequency, or duration of the condition or an association with significantly worse outcomes. SAEs were defined as any AE that, in the view of either the Investigator or Sponsor, resulted in any of the following outcomes as fatal, life-threatening, required in-participant hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, an important medical event. A summary of all SAEs and Other AEs (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in 'Reported Adverse Events' Section.

    Measured: Up to End of Study (up to Week 36)

  2. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Physical Examination Abnormality

    Body systems that were evaluated during the physical examination included general appearance, head, eyes, ears, nose, throat, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system (abdomen), lymphatic system, musculoskeletal system, skin, psychiatric, and neurologic. Neurologic examination included assessment of mental status, memory, cranial nerves, motor function, reflexes, and sensory testing. A summary of all Serious Adverse Events and Other Adverse Events (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Reported Adverse Events' Section.

    Measured: Up to End of Study (up to Week 36)

  3. Number of Participants With a Vital Sign-Related Event Resulting in a TEAE

    The vital sign parameters that were evaluated included blood pressure, pulse and respiration rates, and body temperature. Vital signs abnormalities that were considered by the Investigator to be clinically significant were reported as AEs if the finding represented a change from baseline. A summary of all Serious Adverse Events and Other Adverse Events (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Reported Adverse Events' Section.

    Measured: Up to End of Study (up to Week 36)

  4. Number of Participants With a Clinically Significant Pulmonary Function Event Resulting in a TEAE

    Pulmonary evaluations included pulmonary function tests. Clinically significant changes were to be reported as adverse events. A summary of all Serious Adverse Events and Other Adverse Events (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Reported Adverse Events' Section.

    Measured: Up to End of Study (up to Week 36)

  5. Number of Participants With a Clinical Laboratory Abnormality Resulting in an AE

    Laboratory parameters included hematology (hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cell count, white blood cell count with differential [neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils], and platelet count); serum chemistries (blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, calcium, chloride, magnesium, inorganic phosphate, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, C-reactive protein, troponin, myoglobin, insulin-like growth factor 1, and cholesterol [nonfasting]); and urinalysis (color, pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, and blood). Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities were based upon Investigator's discretion. A summary of all Serious Adverse Events and Other Adverse Events (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Reported Adverse Events' Section.

    Measured: Up to End of Study (Up to Week 36)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ATYR1940 in people with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy, run by aTyr Pharma, Inc. at 3 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Italy, Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Aug 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Up to End of Study (up to Week 36)). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Aug 2023.
