About

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous AOC 1020 for the Treatment of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD)

Full description

The study consists of a Screening Period of up to 6 weeks and 72-week Treatment Period. The anticipated duration is approximately 78 weeks.

Participants will be randomized to receive an intravenous infusion of either del-brax or placebo at the clinical study site every 6 weeks for a total of 13 doses. The final dose will occur at Week 72, followed by a final assessment at Week 78.

After completion of the Week 78 visit, eligible participants will have the option to enroll into an open label extension (OLE) study, pending regulatory approval. Participants who decline participation in the OLE will be followed for a period of 12 weeks for safety.

An Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) comprising members independent and external to the Sponsor will review safety, tolerability, and efficacy (as needed) data of this study at regular intervals.

Enrollment: 200 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 16 to 70 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
