| NCT04003974 | Efficacy and Safety of Losmapimod in Subjects With Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) | PHASE2 | COMPLETED | 80 | — | — | Aug 9, 2019 | Jan 28, 2021 | Jul 10, 2024 | 17 | United States, Canada +2 |
Skeletal muscle biopsies were collected at Baseline and post-Baseline. DUX4 activity in skeletal muscle biopsies was assessed by measuring expression levels of a panel of 6 genes known to be regulated by DUX4. Expression levels of genes were measured using a validated quantitative RT-PCR assay and expressed as Ct (PCR cycles). Raw Ct for each of the 6 genes was normalized to the specified reference genes to generate a normalized Ct. The DUX4 activity is the average of the normalized Cts of each of the identified 6 genes, where the Ct for each of the 6 genes is first normalized to reference genes before the average is generated. Change in Baseline is calculated as \[average delta Ct across the 6 genes post-baseline\] minus \[average delta Ct across the 6 genes at baseline\].
