Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Clinician-Completed Congenital DM1 Rating Scale (CDM1-RS)Baseline and week 20The Clinician-Completed Congenital DM1 Scale is an 11-item rating scale completed by the clinician that scores the symptom severity of domains that are clinically relevant in Congenital DM1. The severity of the clinician's concern in each domain is scored by using a 5-point Likert Scale. Scores range from 0 = Not present to 4 = Very severe.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Top 3 Caregiver Concerns Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ScoreBaseline and week 20The Top 3 concerns VAS allows caregivers to identify their main three causes of concern, related to the subject's myotonic dystrophy, rather than these being pre-specified within a scale and then rating how these concerns have changed at specific time-points during the study. Caregivers were asked to rate three causes for concern by drawing a vertical mark on a 10 cm long VAS with anchors of not at all severe at the left end (0 cm) and very severe at the right end (10 cm). A score for each concern was to be determined by measuring the number of centimeters on the 10 cm VAS line from the anchor point on the left side of the line. A total VAS score for each subject was calculated as the sum of the scores for the 3 concerns (minimum = 0 cm, maximum = 30 cm). A higher score represents a worse outcome.
Caregiver Completed Congenital DM1 Rating Scale (CC-CDM1-RS)Baseline and week 20The Caregiver-Completed Congenital DM1 Scale is a caregiver assessment of the subject on symptoms that may occur in individuals with CDM1. There are a total of 11 clinically relevant symptoms that the caregiver is asked to rate the severity of. The symptoms are rated on a score from 0 to 4 based on overall severity where 0 = symptom not present or is no longer present during the relevant time frame, and 4 = very severe, symptom causes pronounced and consistent impairment and is highly disruptive with regard to daily life. A total CC-CDM1-RS score for each subject was calculated as the sum of the scores where 0 = min and 44 = max. A higher score represents a worse outcome.
Clinical Global Impression - Severity Scale (CGI-S)Baseline and week 20The Clinical Global Impression - Severity Scale (CGI-S) is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the subject's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with subjects who have the same diagnosis. Subjects are assessed on severity of illness at the time of rating 1, normal, not at all ill; 2, borderline ill; 3, mildly ill; 4, moderately ill; 5, markedly ill; 6, severely ill; or 7, extremely ill.
10-meter Walk-run Test20 weeksThe 10-meter walk/run test is a performance measure used to assess walking speed in seconds over a short distance. It can be used as an assessment of functional mobility.
Change in Clinical Global Impression- Improvement Scale (CGI-I) ScoresBaseline and week 20The clinician administered CGI-I rates how much the subject's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state. A 7-point Likert type scale is used with ratings of 1 = very much improved, 2 = much improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = much worse, 7 = very much worse.
Number of Abnormal Findings in Objective Assessments (e.g. Laboratory Values, ECGs, Vital Signs and Bone Mineral Density) Between Screening and End of Study.Between Screening to End of Study, up to 28 weeksAbnormal laboratory findings (e.g. hematology, liver function, biochemistry, urinalysis) or other abnormal assessments (e.g. ECGs, vital signs) that are judged by the Investigator as clinically significant will be recorded as AEs or SAEs if they meet the definition of an AE. The Investigator will exercise his or her medical and scientific judgment in deciding whether an abnormal laboratory finding or other abnormal assessment is clinically significant.
CDM1-RS Independent Central Rater Score (CDM1-RS)Baseline to week 20Change from baseline to end of treatment in the independent central rater CDM1-RS total score. CDM1 Rating Scale is an 11-item rating scale completed by the clinician to score the symptom severity that are clinically relevant in CDM1. The severity of the clinician's concern in each domain is scored by using a 5-point Likert Scale. Scores range from 0 = Not present to 4 = Very severe.
CGI-I Independent Central Rater Score (CGI-I)Baseline and week 20The CGI-I requires the clinician to rate how much the subject's illness has changed (improved, worsened or stayed the same) relative to a baseline state on a seven point scale. A 7-point Likert type scale is used with ratings of 1 = very much improved, 2 = much improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = much worse, 7 = very much worse.
Independent Rater Clinical Global Impression - Severity Scale (CGI-S)Baseline and week 20CGI-S is a 7-point Likert type scale. An independent central rater rated the CGI-S scales for both the in-clinic and telehealth interviews. Subjects are assessed on severity of illness at the time of rating 1, normal, not at all ill; 2, borderline ill; 3, mildly ill; 4, moderately ill; 5, markedly ill; 6, severely ill; or 7, extremely ill.

Pre-assignment details

Children and adolescents (≥6 - ≤16 years) with a diagnosis of genetically confirmed congenital type 1 myotonic dystrophy. Subjects were to have a Clinical Global Impression-Severity score of ≥4 at Screening and V2, be ambulatory and able to complete the 10m walk/run test. Planned randomization of 56 subjects closed at 53 subjects due to fewer than expected discontinuations. A participant assigned to placebo was found to have some tideglusib levels and was included in analysis sets for tideglusib

MDRI Analysis

A multi-domain responder index (MDRI) analysis was performed by combining 5 endpoints to objectively assess movement, muscle integrity and strength, cognitive skills and adaptive behavior. For each of the 5 endpoints, subjects were scored +1 point if their change exceeded or was equal to the threshold in a beneficial direction, -1 point if their change exceeded or was equal to the threshold in a detrimental direction and 0 points otherwise. The sum of these 5 scores were added together to provide an MDRI score between -5 and 5, where a higher score indicates greater overall improvement.

Post-hoc analyses comparing the mean change from baseline in clinical responses of subjects with tideglusib exposures above the 50th percentile (who achieved the desired target exposure) with those subjects who showed lower exposure levels, and with the placebo group. Concentration of Creatine Phosphokinase (UI/L).

Mean Change From Baseline Group Difference in Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT)

Post-hoc analyses comparing the mean change from baseline clinical responses of subjects with tideglusib exposures above the 50th percentile (who achieved the desired target exposure) with those subjects who showed lower exposure levels, and with the placebo group. The PPVT-4 scale is a norm-referenced instrument for measuring the receptive (hearing) vocabulary. It contains training items and 228 test items, each consisting of four full-color pictures as response options on a page. Each test produces a raw score and a standard score. The raw score counts the number of correct responses. Raw scores are reported here as standardized scores are considered less appropriate for a pediatric population with cognitive deficits. Higher scores mean a better performance/receptive vocabulary. The lowest possible raw score is 0, the maximum raw score depends on the number of items administered so theoretically, the highest score possible on this test would be 228.

Mean Group Difference in MDRI

Post-hoc analyses comparing the mean clinical responses of subjects above and below the 50th percentile of tideglusib exposure levels with the placebo group. A multi-domain responder index (MDRI) analysis was performed by combining 5 objective endpoints. For each of the 5 endpoints, subjects were scored +1 point if their change exceeded or was equal to the threshold in a beneficial direction, -1 point if their change exceeded or was equal to the threshold in a detrimental direction and 0 points otherwise. The sum of these 5 scores were added together to provide an MDRI score between -5 and 5, where a higher score indicates greater overall improvement.

Time frame: Baseline and week 20
