Study Description

Brief Summary:
This is a Phase 3 multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study assessing the efficacy and safety of lenabasum for the treatment of dermatomyositis. Approximately 150 subjects will be enrolled in this study at about 60 sites in North America, Europe, and Asia. The planned duration of treatment with study drug is 52 weeks.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Dermatomyositis Drug: Lenabasum 20 mg Drug: Lenabasum 5 mg Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Subjects will be randomized to receive lenabasum 20 mg twice per day, lenabasum 5 mg twice per day, or placebo twice per day in a 2:1:2 ratio. The primary efficacy outcome at Week 52 will be Total Improvement Score (TIS), which is a weighted composite measure of improvement from baseline in six endpoints: Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Physician Assessment of Extramuscular Disease Activity, Patient Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Health Assessment Questionnaire (patient-reported disability), Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), and muscle enzymes.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Efficacy of lenabasum compared to placebo as measured by Total Improvement Score (TIS) [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    TIS from IMAC Core Set Measures (CSM) will be calculated following Aggarwal et al (2017) recommendations. Scores are based on a 0 - 100 scale; higher scores indicate better improvement in myositis.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Efficacy of lenabasum compared to placebo as measured by Mean MMT-8 Score [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    Strength in 8 muscle groups will be assessed on a 0 - 10 point scale; lower score is "weaker" and higher score is "stronger."

  2. Efficacy of lenabasum compared to placebo as measured by Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index (CDASI) activity score [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    The CDASI is a validated outcome measure that systematically quantifies cutaneous DM activity. Disease involvement in 15 different anatomical locations is rated using three activity (erythema, scale, erosion/ulceration) and two damage (poikiloderma, calcinosis) measures. The presence and severity of Gottron's papules, periungual changes and alopecia are also captured. Disease activity is scored from 0 to 100; higher scores indicate greater disease severity.

  3. Efficacy of lenabasum compared to placebo as measured by Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scale of skin activity [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
    The IGA is used by the investigator to score overall skin disease on a 0 to 4 scale; higher scores indicate greater skin disease.

  4. Efficacy of lenabasum compared to placebo as measured by Short Form-36 (SF-36) physical functioning domain score [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
  5. Efficacy of lenabasum compared to placebo as measured by corticosteroid dose [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
  6. Efficacy of lenabasum compared to placebo as measured by Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) % predicted [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]
  7. Safety of lenabasum compared to placebo as measured by Adverse Events (AEs) associated with lenabasum treatment [ Time Frame: From initiation of treatment (Day 1) to end of treatment (Week 52) ]
  8. Tolerability of lenabasum compared to placebo as measured by number of subjects who permanently discontinue study product due to AEs probably- or definitely-related to treatment [ Time Frame: From initiation of treatment (Day 1) to end of treatment (Week 52) ]
