Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Mean Change From Baseline to Day 85 in the Distance Walked During the 6 Minute Walk Test (MWT) Following Treatment With SUN11031 in Participants Having Cachexia Associated With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) [Baseline up to Day 85 post dose.]

    Assessment of functional capacity in study participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) via the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) provided an objective measure of disability. The 6MWT is a practical and objective evaluation of functional exercise capacity. The test measures the distance that a participant can quickly walk on a flat, hard surface in 6 minutes. In order to ensure uniformity among the sites, the specifications of the course for the 6MWT were modified from being 30 meters long with 60-meter laps to be 15 meters long with 30-meter laps to accommodate space limitations encountered at select sites.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Mean Change From Baseline to Days 29, 57, and 85 in the Distance Walked During the 6 Minute Walk Test (MWT) Following Treatment With SUN11031 in Participants Having Cachexia Associated With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) [Baseline up to Day 29, Day 57, and Day 85 post dose.]

  4. Mean Change in Body Weight From Baseline Through Day 99 Following Treatment With SUN11031 in Participants Having Cachexia Associated With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [Baseline up to Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29, Day 43, Day 57, Day 85, and Day 99 post dose.]

    Measurements of body weight were performed in the morning when the participant had an empty stomach (ie, had consumed no food overnight) and had emptied the bladder and had a bowel movement, if possible. These measurements were performed using the same calibrated scale for an individual participant throughout study.

  5. Mean Change in Lean Body Mass From Baseline Through Days 29, 85 and 99 Following Treatment With SUN11031 in Participants Having Cachexia Associated With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [Baseline up to Day 29, Day 85, and Day 99 post dose.]

    Lean body mass was assessed based on whole-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

  6. Absolute Concentrations of SUN11031 Following Treatment With SUN11031 in Participants Having Cachexia Associated With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [Day 1 and Day 85 pre-dose; Day 1 at 1 hour and 4 hours; Day 29 at 0.08 hours and 1.5 hours; Day 57 at 0.08 hours and 6 hours; Day 85 at 0.5 hours and 3 hours postdose.]

    Absolute concentrations of SUN11031 in participant plasma samples were measured. When participants were randomly assigned into 1 of 3 treatment groups at baseline, they were also randomly assigned into 1 of 2 sequences in the pharmacokinetic (PK) sparse sampling schedule based on the randomization number.

  7. Absolute Concentrations of SUN11031 Metabolites Desacyl-ghrelin Following Treatment With SUN11031 in Participants Having Cachexia Associated With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [Day 1 and Day 85 pre-dose; Day 1 at 1 hour and 4 hours; Day 29 at 0.08 hours and 1.5 hours; Day 57 at 0.08 hours and 6 hours; Day 85 at 0.5 hours and 3 hours postdose.]

    Absolute concentrations of SUN11031 metabolites desacyl-ghrelin in participant plasma samples were measured. When participants were randomly assigned into 1 of 3 treatment groups at baseline, they were also randomly assigned into 1 of 2 sequences in the pharmacokinetic (PK) sparse sampling schedule based on the randomization number.

  8. Treatment Emergent Adverse Events Reported in ≥ 2% of Participants Following Treatment With SUN11031 in Participants Having Cachexia Associated With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [Baseline up to Day 113 post dose, up to a total of 134 days.]

    Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as adverse events (AEs) that occurred from the time treatment was administered at Day 1 through the last follow-up visit or a worsening of a pre-existing condition.

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Mean Change From Baseline to Day 85 in the Distance Walked During the 6 Minute Walk Test (MWT) Following Treatment With SUN11031 in Participants Having Cachexia Associated With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Description Assessment of functional capacity in study participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) via the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) provided an objective measure of disability. The 6MWT is a practical and objective evaluation of functional exercise capacity. The test measures the distance that a participant can quickly walk on a flat, hard surface in 6 minutes. In order to ensure uniformity among the sites, the specifications of the course for the 6MWT were modified from being 30 meters long with 60-meter laps to be 15 meters long with 30-meter laps to accommodate space limitations encountered at select sites.
Time Frame Baseline up to Day 85 post dose.

Title Number of Participants With Improvement in Distance Walked During the 6 Minute Walk Test (MWT) By Sub-groups Following Treatment With SUN11031 in Participants Having Cachexia Associated With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Description Assessment of functional capacity in study participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) via the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) provided an objective measure of disability. The 6MWT is a practical and objective evaluation of functional exercise capacity. The test measures the distance that a participant can quickly walk on a flat, hard surface in 6 minutes. In order to ensure uniformity among the sites, the specifications of the course for the 6MWT were modified from being 30 meters long with 60-meter laps to be 15 meters long with 30-meter laps to accommodate space limitations encountered at select sites.
Time Frame Baseline up to Day 85 post dose.

The number of participants with improved walking distance was assessed using the Intent-to-Treat population.
