Abstract
In the COMET trial of patients with late-onset Pompe disease, greater improvement in upright forced vital capacity (FVC) % predicted was observed with avalglucosidase alfa (AVA) vs alglucosidase alfa (ALGLU) (estimated treatment difference: 2.43%). The pre-specified mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) analysis demonstrated non-inferiority of AVA (P = 0.0074) and narrowly missed superiority (P = 0.063; 95% CI: -0.13-4.99). We report superiority of AVA in two post-hoc analyses that account for an extreme outlier participant with low FVC and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at baseline: MMRM excluding the outlier (P = 0.013) and non-parametric analysis of all data with repeated measures analysis of covariance (P = 0.019).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neuromuscular Diseases aims to facilitate progress in understanding the molecular genetics/correlates, pathogenesis, pharmacology, diagnosis and treatment of acquired and genetic neuromuscular diseases (including muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, spinal muscular atrophy, neuropathies, myopathies, myotonias and myositis). The journal publishes research reports, reviews, short communications, letters-to-the-editor, and will consider research that has negative findings. The journal is dedicated to providing an open forum for original research in basic science, translational and clinical research that will improve our fundamental understanding and lead to effective treatments of neuromuscular diseases.
