Change From Baseline in North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA)
Query!
Assessment method [1]
0
0
To assess change from baseline in North Star Ambulatory Assessment(NSAA) Total Score at Wk52. NSAA is clinician-reported outcome instrument designed to measure ambulatory function in males with Duchenne muscular dystrophy(DMD). Patients asked to perform 17 different functional activities,including 10MWT,rising from sit to stand,standing on one leg,climbing \& descending a step,stand from supine, lifting the head, standing on heels, \& jumping. Each function activity will be scored as0=(unable to achieve independently),scored as1=(modified method but achieves goal independent of physical assistance from another),or scored as2=(no obvious modification of activity)or "Not Scored". If NSAA test was performed \& any of the individual items are scored as "not scored"(i.e, for reasons unrelated to patients physical capabilities), corresponding total score will be set to missing. Sum of 17 scores will be used to form an ordinal total score(range 0-34).Higher scores imply better functional status

Assessment method [1]
0
0
To assess the changes from baseline to Week 52 on the 10-meter walk/run test (10MWT).

Cannot increase walking speed 4=Moderately adapted gait. Can pick up speed but cannot run 5=Able to pick up speed, but runs with a double stance phase, i.e. cannot achieve both feet off the ground 6=Runs and gets both feet off the ground (with no double stance phase)

Summary
Brief summary
The PolarisDMD study is a Phase 3, global study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of edasalonexent in pediatric patients with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of DMD. Male patients from 4-7 years of age (up to 8th birthday) will be enrolled. Edasalonexent is an orally administered small molecule that inhibits NF-kB, which is the key link between loss of dystrophin and disease pathology and plays a fundamental role in the initiation and progression of skeletal and cardiac muscle disease in DMD.
