1.Primary Outcome
Title Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, and TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation
Hide Description An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug, whether or not considered drug related. An SAE or serious suspected adverse reaction is an AE or suspected adverse reaction that at any dose, in the view of either the Investigator or Ultragenyx, results in any of the following outcomes: death; a life-threatening AE; inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant incapacity or disability (substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions); congenital anomaly/birth defect. TEAEs were defined as any AE that occurred after the first dose of study drug.

Title Change From Baseline in HHD Raw Strength (Shoulder Abductors) Over Time
Hide Description Hand held dynamometry testing was used to measure strength. The maximum voluntary isometric contraction against a dynamometer was used to measure bilateral strength in the following muscle groups: shoulder abductors, wrist extensors and knee extensors. Specialized dynamometers for the measurement of grip and key pinch strength were also used. The total force (in kgf) for each was recorded. Analyzed using a repeated measure GEE model, which includes the change from baseline as the dependent variable, visit as a fixed factor, and the baseline value as a covariate. Compound symmetry is used as the covariance structure.

Certain Agreements
Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.
There IS an agreement between Principal Investigators and the Sponsor (or its agents) that restricts the PI's rights to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed.
The only disclosure restriction on the PI is that the sponsor can review results communications prior to public release and can embargo communications regarding trial results for a period that is more than 60 days but less than or equal to 180 days from the time submitted to the sponsor for review. The sponsor cannot require changes to the communication and cannot extend the embargo.
