In the 52-week, 346 patient, Phase III, ACOUSTICS trial, the annual exacerbation rate was decreased by 51% with lebrikizumab 125 mg and 40% with 37.5 mg compared to placebo in adolescents (aged 12-17 years) with uncontrolled asthma. In the 20-week, 276 patient, Phase II METEORIC-HF trial, treatment with omecamtiv mecarbi did not improve peak oxygen uptake during cardiopulmonary exercise testing compared to placebo in patients with HFrEF. In the six-week, 166 patient, Phase III FLASH trial, 16% of patients treated with one cycle of light activated topical hypericin had at least a 50% reduction in lesions compared to 4% with placebo in patients with early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. In the open-label extension of the trial, 40% of patients that received two cycles and 49% that received three cycles achieved a 50% reduction. In a 12-week, 40 patient, Phase II trial, treatment with palovarotene did not reduce heterotopic ossification flare-ups compared to placebo in patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP).
