Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: LMTM

Drug: LMTM
The initial LMTM dose was 200 mg/day (one 100-mg tablet twice daily), except in subjects with bvFTD who were taking a reduced dose (i.e., 100 mg/day) upon entering this extension study. The dose could be increased (after at least 13 weeks of treatment) or decreased (at any time at or after 2 weeks of treatment) by the Investigator in 100-mg increments or decrements. The maximum allowable dose was 300 mg/day (or in those countries where limited by a Competent Authority or Ethics Committee, 200 mg/day).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With Serious or Non-serious Adverse Events [Up to 34 months]

    Study-emergent adverse events (including the onset of new adverse events or worsening of pre-existing adverse events) were recorded from the time of first dose in this study to the end of study participation. All laboratory test, vital sign, or electrocardiogram parameter abnormalities deemed clinically significant by the Investigator were to be reported as adverse events.

Recruitment Details
Pre-assignment Detail Subjects who completed a Phase 2 or 3 study of LMTM were eligible to enroll, pending their ability to meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. A total of 913 subjects enrolled; however, data for 16 subjects in Spain were later excluded (GCP issues) and 1 UK subject was never dosed. Thus, 896 subjects are included in all analyses except disposition.
Arm/Group Title LMTM 100-300 mg/Day
Arm/Group Description The initial LMTM dose was 200 mg/day (one 100-mg tablet twice daily), except in subjects with bvFTD who were taking a reduced dose (i.e., 100 mg/day) upon entering this extension study. The dose could be increased (after at least 13 weeks of treatment) or decreased (at any time at or after 2 weeks of treatment) by the Investigator in 100-mg increments or decrements. The maximum allowable dose was 300 mg/day (or in those countries where limited by a Competent Authority or Ethics Committee, 200 mg/day).

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Number of Participants With Serious or Non-serious Adverse Events
Description Study-emergent adverse events (including the onset of new adverse events or worsening of pre-existing adverse events) were recorded from the time of first dose in this study to the end of study participation. All laboratory test, vital sign, or electrocardiogram parameter abnormalities deemed clinically significant by the Investigator were to be reported as adverse events.
Time Frame Up to 34 months

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
The safety population was composed of participants dosed with 100-300 mg LMTM who were used for analysis. Safety was assessed over time by means of adverse event and concomitant medication recording; clinical laboratory tests; vital sign measurements and weight; 12-lead electrocardiograms; and targeted physical and neurological examinations.
Arm/Group Title LMTM 100-300 mg/Day
Arm/Group Description The initial LMTM dose was 200 mg/day (one 100-mg tablet twice daily), except in subjects with bvFTD who were taking a reduced dose (i.e., 100 mg/day) upon entering this extension study. The dose could be increased (after at least 13 weeks of treatment) or decreased (at any time at or after 2 weeks of treatment) by the Investigator in 100-mg increments or decrements. The maximum allowable dose was 300 mg/day (or in those countries where limited by a Competent Authority or Ethics Committee, 200 mg/day).
