Males, engaged in sexual relations with a female of child-bearing potential, not using an acceptable contraceptive method if not surgically sterile 16. Kidney disease requiring ongoing treatment 17. A history of chronic liver disease with current out of range values for ALT, clinically relevant hepatic steatosis or other clinical manifestations of liver disease 18. ALT value > 2X ULN reference range at Screening (may repeat to confirm) 19. Total bilirubin value greater than the upper limit of the normal reference range at Screening (unless due to Gilbert’s syndrome) (may repeat to confirm). For subjects with a well known/well documented diagnosis of Gilbert's syndrome a total bilirubin value >2x ULN reference range at Screening (may repeat to confirm) 20. HbA1c values greater than 6% or 42.0 mmol/mol at Screening (may repeat to confirm) 21. TSH values outside of the normal reference range at Screening (may repeat to confirm) 22. Serum creatinine >1.7 mg/dL (>150 micromole/L) or creatinine clearance ≤ 60 mL/min (according to Cockcroft-Gault formula) at Screening (may repeat to confirm) 23. Clinical history of hepatitis or previous or current positive serological evidence for Hep B or C 24. Serological evidence of Hep A at Screening or in the 6 months preceding Screening 25. A history of significant drug allergy (such as Steven-Johnson syndrome, anaphylaxis) 26. A history of alcohol or substance use disorders 27. Current malignancy or any history of malignancy except for surgically cured skin cancer or pilomatricoma (benign tumor of the hair follicle that is associated with Congenital DM1) 28. Severe arthritis or other medical condition (besides Congenital DM1) that would significantly impact ambulation or completion of myometric assessments 29. Hypersensitivity to tideglusib or any components of its formulation including allergy to strawberry 30. Unable to swallow liquids or may have trouble swallowing liquids (in the opinion of the investigator), unless medication to be administered by gastrostomy tube

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Clinician-Completed Congenital DM1 Rating Scale (CDM1-RS) |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
A blinded sample size re-estimation, based on the observed variance in the primary outcome measure, will occur when approximately 50% of subjects are enrolled and have completed week 20 (Visit 11). The variability of key secondary and secondary endpoints may be assessed as well, if feasible.
This endpoint will be fully evaluated once a full data set is acquired. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoint: • Clinical Global Impression- Improvement Scale (CGI-I) Secondary Efficacy Endpoints: • Top 3 Caregiver Concerns VAS score • Caregiver Completed Congenital DM1 Rating Scale (CC-CDM1-RS) • Clinical Global Impression - Severity Scale (CGI-S) • DXA Scan measurement of total body lean/muscle mass |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
