Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage Change From Baseline of Thigh Muscle Volume (TMV) by MRI Scan at Week 8 [Baseline, week 8]

    Thigh Muscle Volume (TMV) change was evaluated by a responder analysis. Patients whose loss of muscle TMV by MRI was no more than or equal to 2% at Week 8 was considered responders.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage Change in Body Weight From Baseline at Week 7 and Week 9 [Baseline, Week 7 and Week 9]

    Percentage Change in body weight from baseline in killograms (kg) at week 7 and week 9

  2. Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 hours post-dose on Day 1 and Week 8]

    Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation were drawn on Day 1 30mg/kg BYM338 (Core)or week 8 Late 30mg/kg BYM338 (when placebo subjects were rolled over to active). PK parameters were calculated from plasma concentration-time data using non-compartmental methods.

  3. Time to Reach the Maximum Concentration After Drug Administration (Tmax) [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 hours post-dose on Day 1 and Week 8]

    Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation were drawn on Day 1 30mg/kg BYM338 (Core)or week 8 Late 30mg/kg BYM338 (when placebo subjects were rolled over to active). Tmax was directly determined from the raw serum concentration-time data.

  4. Percentage Change From Baseline in Total Lean Body Mass (LBM) by Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometery (DXA) Compared to Placebo: at Week 8 [Baseline, Week 8]

    total lean body mass (LBM) is measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).Percent Change = [(LBM at Visit - LBM at Baseline) / LBM at Baseline] * 100.

  5. Percentage Change From Baseline of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) by Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometery (DXA) Compared to Placebo at Week 8 [Baseline, Week 8]

    Bone Mineral Density (BMD)is measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).Percent Change = [(BMD at Visit - BMD at Baseline) / BMD at Baseline] * 100.

  6. Percentage Change From Baseline of Physical Activity Levels (Using the ActivPAL™ Device) Number of Steps Taken Compared to Placebo at Week 4 and 7 [Baseline, Week 4 and Week 7]

    Each patient was required to wear the ActivPal™ for a span of 6 days at Week 4 and Week 7 for patient home activity recording. The ActivPal™ was given to patients in clinic to wear for 6 consecutive days. The ActivPAL™ records periods spent sitting, standing and walking, sit-to-stand transitions, step count and rate of stepping (cadence) over a maximum period of 10 days with a fully charged new battery.

  7. Percentage Change From Baseline of Physical Activity Levels (Using the ActivPAL™ Device) Time Sedentary Taken Compared to Placebo at Week 4 and 7 [Baseline, Week 4 and Week 7]

    Each patient was required to wear the ActivPal™ for a span of 6 days at Week 4 and Week 7 for patient home activity recording. The ActivPal™ was given to patients in clinic to wear for 6 consecutive days. The ActivPAL™ records periods spent sitting, standing and walking, sit-to-stand transitions, step count and rate of stepping (cadence) over a maximum period of 10 days with a fully charged new battery.

  8. Percentage Change From Baseline of Physical Activity Levels (Using the ActivPAL™ Device) Time Standing Compared to Placebo at Week 4 and 7 [Baseline, Week 4 and Week 7]

    Each patient was required to wear the ActivPal™ for a span of 6 days at Week 4 and Week 7 for patient home activity recording. The ActivPal™ was given to patients in clinic to wear for 6 consecutive days. The ActivPAL™ records periods spent sitting, standing and walking, sit-to-stand transitions, step count and rate of stepping (cadence) over a maximum period of 10 days with a fully charged new battery.

  9. Percentage Change From Baseline of Physical Activity Levels (Using the ActivPAL™ Device) Time Stepping Compared to Placebo at Week 4 and 7 [Baseline, Week 4 and Week 7]

    Each patient was required to wear the ActivPal™ for a span of 6 days at Week 4 and Week 7 for patient home activity recording. The ActivPal™ was given to patients in clinic to wear for 6 consecutive days. The ActivPAL™ records periods spent sitting, standing and walking, sit-to-stand transitions, step count and rate of stepping (cadence) over a maximum period of 10 days with a fully charged new battery.

  7. Life expectancy of at least 4 months.

  8. Able to communicate well and comply with the requirements of the study, including by phone and written logs.

Key Exclusion criteria:
  1. Patients who have received investigational anti-neoplastic therapy within 3 weeks of screening

  2. Evidence of inadequate organ or brain function, as defined by lab tests and imaging
