Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The primary endpoint will be the time to death or the subject becoming bedridden with a requirement for permanent ventilatory support, wichever comes earlier, in subjects treated with leriglitazone compared to placebo. | Interim analysis 1 (at 18 months of treatment) | The primary endpoint will be the time to death or the subject becoming bedridden with a requirement for permanent ventilatory support, wichever comes earlier, in subjects treated with leriglitazone compared to placebo. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from Baseline in Loes Score. | Interim analysis 1 (at 18 months of treatment) | Change from Baseline in Loes Score. Loes Score Minimum = 0 Maximum =34 0 better outcome (healthy) 34 worst osutcome |
| Change from Baseline in Loes Score | Interim analysis 2 (at 27 months of treatment) | Change from Baseline in Loes Score. Loes Score Minimum = 0 Maximum =34 0 better outcome (healthy) 34 worst osutcome |
