Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluate the safety and tolerability of FRM-0334Baseline to Day 28 or Early Termination* Number and percentage of subjects with AEs * Number and percentage of subjects with SAEs * Number and percentage of subjects who discontinue due to AEs * Number and percentage of subject deaths
Assess the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of FRM-0334 on the change from baseline in plasma concentrations of progranulin (PGRN) after 28 daysBaseline to Day 28 or Early Termination

Secondary
