The BFI is a 9-item, validated, self-administered questionnaire that was originally developed to assess fatigue severity. The 9-items were measured on a 0-10 scale, with 0 being 'does not interfere' and 10 being 'completely interferes.' BFI - Item 3 asks participants to "Please rate your fatigue (weariness, tiredness) by circling the one number that best describes your worst level of fatigue during the past 24 hours. Numerical rating scale ranges from 0 (no fatigue) to 10 (worst imaginable fatigue). Higher global scores were associated with more severe fatigue.

The BPI-SF is a validated, self-administered questionnaire designed to measure a participant's perceived level of pain. The BPI-SF consisted of 15 items that use a numeric rating scale to assess pain severity and pain interference in the past 24 hours and the past week. For BPI-SF Item 3 asks participants to "Please rate your pain by marking the box beside the number that best describes your pain at its worst in the past 24 hours." The numeric rating scale ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain), where higher scores indicate greater intensity of pain.

Change From Baseline in Dyspnea Severity as Measured by Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) Dyspnea Scale at Week 52

Assessment method [5]

FACIT-Dyspnea is a 20 Item assessment that is split into two 10-item sections. The first 10-item section asks participants about the severity of their shortness of breath during various activities. The second 10-item section asks participants to rate the difficulty due to shortness of breath associated with the same activities that were referenced in the first section. For the dyspnea severity items, score range from 0=no shortness of breath; 1=mildly short of breath; 2=moderately short of breath; 3=severely short of breath. For the functional limitation items, score range from no difficult = 0, A little difficult = 1, some difficult = 2, and much difficulty =3. A raw score was calculated as: sum of individual item scores * 10/number of items answered. Raw scores were then converted to scale scores using the table included in the FACIT Dyspnea Scale Short Form Scoring Guideline. FACIT dyspnea scale score ranged between 27.7 to 75.9. Higher score represented high levels of dyspnea.

Summary
Brief summary
Primary Objective:
The primary objective of this phase 2/3 study is to evaluate the efficacy of olipudase alfa
(recombinant human acid sphingomyelinase) administered intravenously once every 2 weeks for
52 weeks in adult participants with acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) by assessing
changes in: 1) spleen volume as measured by abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (and,
for the United States [US] only, in association with participant perception related to spleen
volume as measured by splenomegaly-related score [SRS]); and 2) infiltrative lung disease as
measured by the pulmonary function test, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide
(DLCO).
Secondary Objectives:
- To confirm the safety of olipudase alfa administered intravenously once every 2 weeks
for 52 weeks.
- To characterize the effect of olipudase alfa on the participant perception related to
spleen volume as measured by the SRS after 52 weeks of study drug administration. (For
the US, the effect of olipudase alfa on the SRS is part of the primary objective).
- To characterize the effect of olipudase alfa after 52 weeks of study drug administration
on the following outcome measures assessed sequentially:
- The effect of olipudase alfa on liver volume;
- The effect of olipudase alfa on platelet count;
- The effect of olipudase alfa on fatigue;
- The effect of olipudase alfa on pain;
- The effect of olipudase alfa on dyspnea.
