Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
At least 30 evaluable patients will be enrolled to receive a single dose of 1.0 mg/kg FDY-5301 or placebo (n=15 per group) by bolus injection intra-operatively by the surgeon or medical team. Patients undergoing unilateral TKA with tourniquet use intra-operatively will receive either FDY-5301 or volume matched placebo after informed consent is obtained, provided the tourniquet has been inflated at least 40 minutes, within 5-10 minutes prior to tourniquet deflation and limb reperfusion. For each participant, the study will consist of screening, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and study drug treatment on day 1, evaluations on day 2, and follow-up visits at 3 weeks and 6 weeks after receiving the study drug

All patients will have study outcomes monitored for 2 days and at 3 weeks and 6 weeks post operatively.
Subject to the results in this cohort of patients, a decision will be made to proceed with more patients or other doses in future cohorts, or not.

Statistical methods / analysis
The primary outcome for this study will be functional mobility assessed by timed stair ascent and descent compared between the FDY-5301 and placebo treated groups at 6 weeks post-TKA.
A total sample size of 30 patients, ie. 15 per group will provide 80% power to detect a statistically siginificant difference of 31.4% between groups in timed stair ascent and descent at 6 weeks expressed as percent change over baseline ( two-sided alpha=0.05%). Equal variance based on a standard deviation of 15.9% for each group was assumed. These metrics are based on published data.
Statistical evaluation of our data will be performed using separate analysis of covariance (ANOVA) models at 2 weeks and 6 weeks post-TKA, comparing the placebo vs. FDY-5301 treated groups in terms of change from baseline on anatomical, physiological and functional mobility measures. Differences between the means will be considered significant at P = 0.05. All values will be expressed as the mean (SE) or a percentage.
Multilevel models (MLM) will be used to determine correlations between muscle atrophy and other covariates with functional mobility within the context of nested non-independent responses such as change from baseline over time in each patient.
In addition to the measurement of safety and efficacy parameters in this study, soluble biomarker levels will also be assessed.

Summary
Brief summary
This is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of intravenous FDY-5301 in tourniquet induced sarcopenia in patients undergoing unilateral TKA.
Study patients will be recruited at each investigational site (or referred to the investigative site from another institution) for first unilateral TKA. Patients will be screened and written informed consent will be obtained prior to initiation of any study related procedures in those patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the study.
A minimum of 30 evaluable patients will be enrolled and randomized to receive either FDY-5301 1.0mg/kg or volume-matched placebo.
Study drug administration will occur by bolus injection at any time between 10 and 5 minutes prior to tourniquet release/limb reperfusion.
All patients who receive study drug and have tourniquet use will be followed up for safety and efficacy for 6 weeks post-study drug administration.. Patients who do not undergo toirniquet inflation for any reason who received study drug will be followed up for safety, but will be replaced with a new patient.
