What is being measured

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

  1. Annual Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Vital Capacity (ppFVC) at Week 104

    FVC is a standard pulmonary function test used to quantify respiratory muscle weakness. FVC was the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out after full inspiration in the upright position, measured in liters. Predicted FVC is based on a formula using sex, age and height of a person, and is an estimate of healthy lung capacity. Percent of predicted FVC = (observed value)/(predicted value) * 100%. Analysis was done using a random coefficient model (RCM), which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 104

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume at 1 Second (ppFEV1) at Week 104

    FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation. Predicted FEV1 is based on a formula using sex, age and height of a person, and is an estimate of healthy lung capacity. Percent of predicted FEV1= (observed value)/(predicted value) * 100%. Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 104

  2. Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) at Week 104

    Percent predicted PEF is a measure of the maximal or peak flow produced during an exhalation with maximal effort and, as such, is the most effort-dependent measure of lung function. Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 104

  3. Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Percentage (LVEF%) at Week 104

    LVEF% is an important measure of cardiac function. LVEF is a fraction of blood (in percent) pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart (the main pumping chamber). Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 104

  4. Change From Baseline in Performance of Upper Limb (PUL) Total Score at Week 104

    The PUL module is an observer-administered performance battery of upper extremity mobility tasks for the shoulder (upper, 6 items: maximum score = 12), elbow (middle, 9 items: maximum score = 17) and wrist/hand (distal, 7 items: maximum score = 13). Higher scores of each item indicate higher level of function. Total score was calculated by adding the 3 level scores, with a maximum global score of 42 (total score range = 0-42; with higher score indicating better outcome). Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 104

  5. Change From Baseline in Grip Strength by Hand, as Measured by Hand Held Myometry (HHM) at Week 104

    The HHM was used to measure distal upper arm strength (grip strength). Data has been presented by dominant and non-dominant hand. Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 104

  6. Change From Baseline in Pinch Strength, as Measured by HHM at Week 104

    The HHM was used to measure distal upper arm strength (pinch strength). Data has been presented by dominant and non-dominant hand. Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 104

  7. Change From Baseline in Cardiac Fibrosis (Scar Mass), as Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at Week 104

    Cardiac MRI was used to assess the cardiac fibrosis by detecting the presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), a marker for myocardial fibrosis. Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 104

  8. Change From Baseline in Upper Arm (Biceps Brachii MRI) Muscle Fat and Fibrosis Score, as Measured by MRI at Week 104

    T2-mapping with MRI was conducted to measure upper arm muscle fibrosis and fat in the biceps brachii muscle. Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect. The visual score for muscle fat and fibrosis will be assessed using a modified 5-point Mercuri score in which 0 = normal muscle appearance and 5 = complete replacement of muscle by connective tissue and fat, where a lower score indicated visually healthier muscle. Change from baseline was calculated as the score at Week 104 - the score at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 104

  9. Change From Baseline in Fat Fraction Percentage (%F), as Measured by MRI at Week 104

    Analysis was done using an RCM, which included visit in years (as a continuous variable), and baseline efficacy as fixed effects, the intercept and the linear slope of visit as random effect, and individual participants as participant effect.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 104

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pamrevlumab in people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, run by Kyntra Bio at 10 sites in United States.

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 22 inclusion and 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States. 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 phase mean?

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 30 Dec 2021). 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?

Annual Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Vital Capacity (ppFVC) at Week 104 (time frame: Baseline, Week 104). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02606136, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Aug 2024.
