Article Figures & Data
Figures
- Figure 1 UX001-CL301 study design
6MWT = 6-minute walk test; Ace-ER = aceneuramic acid extended-release; GNEM = GNE myopathy.
- Figure 2 Percentage predicted muscle strength at baseline
Ace-ER = aceneuramic acid extended-release.
- Figure 3 Free serum sialic acid
Data are expressed as mean ± standard error. Gray lines indicate placebo; blue lines indicate aceneuramic acid extended-release (Ace-ER).
- Figure 4 Change from baseline in primary and key secondary efficacy assessments
(A–D) Data are expressed as mean change from baseline ± standard error. Gray lines indicate placebo; blue lines indicate aceneuramic acid extended-release (Ace-ER). GNEM-FAS = GNE myopathy–Functional Activity Scale; LEC = lower extremity composite; UEC = upper extremity composite.
