Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Safety - Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
First dose of investigational medicine to End of Randomized Treatment Phase (8 weeks)

Incidence of TEAEs, including serious TEAEs and TEAEs leading to discontinuation; change from baseline to the EOR in safety parameters: clinical laboratory tests, physical exam findings, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, and 24-hour continuous cardiac monitoring (only for subjects on 120 mg dose). In addition to all-cause mortality, deaths were categorized by primary cause (e.g., cardiovascular) based on medical adjudication. Events were coded using MedDRA and summarized by treatment group, system organ class, and preferred term. TEAEs were reported per randomized arm. There were 2 randomized arms (40 mg and 80 mg paltusotine, with up-or down-dose titration permitted for symptom control). Results are analyzed based on the initially assigned randomization arm, regardless of the actual dose received.
