Study summary
This is a multicenter phase 3 randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of daily subcutaneous injections of elamipretide in subjects with primary mitochondrial myopathy. This will be followed by an open-label treatment extension.
Part 11 is a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled assessment of the efficacy and safety of single daily subcutaneous (SC) doses of 40 mg elamipretide (vs placebo) administered with the elamipretide delivery system as a treatment for subjects with primary mitochondrial myopathy (PMM). Part 2 was to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of single daily SC doses of 40 mg elamipretide administered with the elamipretide delivery system for up to 144 weeks.

Outcomes
Six-minute Walk Test (6MWT)
Time frame · Baseline to 24 weeks
Change From Baseline in Distance Walked (meters) on the Six-Minute Walk Test by Visit
Total Fatigue Score on the on the Primary Mitochondrial Myopathy Symptom Assessment (PMMSA)
Time frame · Baseline to 24 weeks
Change from Baseline in Total fatigue score on the on the Primary Mitochondrial Myopathy Symptom Assessment (PMMSA) by visit. Each individual item score ranges from 1 (none) to 4 (severe). The total fatigue score ranges from 4-16. Lower values represent a better outcome. The total fatigue score is the sum of question 1 through question 4 on the Primary Mitochondrial Myopathy Symptom Assessment.
Fatigue During Activities Score on the Primary Mitochondrial Disease Symptom Assessment (PMMSA).
Time frame · Baseline to 24 weeks
Change from baseline in Fatigue During Activities. Fatigue During Activities is the sum of question 2 (tiredness during activities) and question 4 (muscle weakness during activities.) The four response options are: 1=Not at all, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, and 4=Severe. Raw scores for each subject range from 2-8. A lower score means a better outcome, with less fatigue. A higher score means a worse outcome, with more fatigue.
Neuro-QoL Fatigue Activities of Daily Living
Time frame · Baseline to 24 weeks
Change From Baseline in Neuro-QoL Fatigue Activities of Daily Living by Visit. Each individual item score ranges from 1-5. Total raw score for the entire item bank ranges from 19-95. Raw scores will be calibrated using Item Response Theory Model. Lower values represent a better outcome. Individual items will be summed to calculate total scores.
Change From Baseline in the Most Bothersome Symptom Score on the Primary Mitochondrial Myopathy Symptoms Assessment
Time frame · Baseline to 24 weeks
The item score rangers from 1 (none) to 4 (severe). Lower values represent a better outcome. The most bothersome score is the average of the identified most bothersome symptom of the Primary Mitochondrial Myopathy Symptom Assessment by each subject.
Neuro-QoL Fatigue Short Form Score
Time frame · 24 Weeks
Change From Baseline in Neuro-QoL Fatigue - Short Form: Total T-Scores by Visit. The Neuro-QoL Fatigue Short Form is comprised of the sum of the first 8 questions of the Neuro-QoL Item Bank v1.0 - Fatigue. Each question is scored as following: 1=Never, 2=Rarely, 3=Sometimes, 4=Often, and 5=Always. The questions include: I felt exhausted, I felt that I had no energy, I felt fatigued, I was too tired to do my household chores, I was too tired to leave the house, I was frustrated by being too tired to do the things I wanted to do, I felt tired, and I had to limit my social activity because I was tired. T-scores are calculated from the short form scoring table provided by the instrument authors (Neuro-QoL User Manual, 2015). T-score distributions rescale raw scores into standardized scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. Change from baseline: Negative numbers mean less fatigue, better outcome, positive score means more fatigue, worse outcome.
Eligibility
PART 1: Inclusion Criteria: * Willing and able to provide a signed informed consent form prior to participation in any trial-related procedures * Agrees to adhere to the trial requirements for the length of the trial, including the use of the elamipretide delivery system * Subject is ≥ 16 and ≤ 80 years of age * Diagnosed with PMM in the opinion of the investigator and confirmed by an Adjudication Committee * Woman of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of birth control Exclusion Criteria: * Subject has myopathic signs and or/symptoms due to a neuropathic process or gait problem that would interfere with the 6 minute walk test (6MWT), in the opinion of the Investigator * Female who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding/lactating * At Screening, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 * Subject has undergone an in-patient hospitalization within the 30 days prior to the Baseline Visit or has a planned hospitalization or a surgical procedure during the trial. * Subject has clinically significant cardiac disease or prior interventional procedure and/or respiratory disease (medical history or current clinical findings) within 3 months of the Baseline Visit, in the opinion of the Investigator. * Subject has QTc elongation (using the correction factor utilized at the clinical site) defined as a QTc \>450 msec in male subjects and \>480 msec in female subjects. * ECG evidence of acute ischemia, atrial fibrillation, or active conduction system abnormalities with the exception of any of the following: 1. First degree Atrioventricular bock (AV-block) 2. Second degree AV-block Type 1 (Mobitz Type 1 / Wenckebach type) 3. Right bundle branch block * Subject has severe vision impairment that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with their ability to complete all trial requirements * Subject has a seizure disorder that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with their ability to complete all trial requirements. * Active malignancy or any other cancer from which the subject has been disease-free for \< 2 years. * Subject has a solid organ transplant and/or is currently receiving treatment with therapy for immunosuppression, in the opinion of the Investigator. * Subject has been previously diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, or hepatitis C infection. * Subject has a history of a systemic eosinophilic illness and/or an eosinophil count \>1,000 cells x10\^6/L at the Screening Visit. * Subject is currently participating or has participated in an interventional clinical trial (i.e.,investigational product or device, stem cell therapy, gene therapy) within 30 days of the Baseline Visit; or is currently enrolled in a non-interventional clinical trial (except for SPIMM-300) at the Baseline Visit which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may be potentially confounding with results of the current trial (e.g., exercise therapy trial). * Subject has previously received elamipretide (MTP-131), for any reason. * Subject has a history of active substance abuse during the year before the Baseline Visit, in the opinion of the Investigator. * Subject has any prior or current medical condition that, in the judgment of the Investigator, would prevent the subject from safely participating in and/or completing all trial requirements. PART 2: Continuation Criteria: * Subjects must continue to be able and willing to adhere to the trial requirements. * Subject is appropriate to continue in Part 2 (i.e. subject was compliant in Part 1), in the opinion of the Investigator. * Subject has not had a serious adverse event (SAE)/serious adverse device effect (SADE) attributed to the elamipretide delivery system. * Subject has not permanently discontinued the elamipretide delivery system.
