At 18 months, people taking AMVUTTRA did better than those on placebo in the following ways:
Maintained better walking speed
Walking speed was evaluated using the 10-meter walk test (10-MWT), a stopwatch-timed measure of a person’s walking speed over 10 meters, which is an indication of their mobility and balance.
Improved nutritional health
Nutritional health was evaluated using modified body mass index (mBMI), an assessment of height, weight, and the balance of fluids in the body, as well as a measure of nutritional status and heart health.
Performed daily activities more easily
Daily activities were evaluated using the Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (R-ODS) questionnaire that assesses the ability to participate in common daily activities such as showering, walking up a flight of stairs, and dressing the upper body.
