Detailed Description
Part 1 (non-randomized, open-label, dose-escalation)
Part 1 will consist of up to 3 cohorts of 6 patients each and will evaluate multiple ascending dose levels of ACE-083 administered bilaterally once every 3 weeks for up to 5 doses in the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle. Patients in each cohort will be enrolled in a 4-week screening period before beginning treatment.
Part 2 (randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled) Prior to the initiation of Part 2, a review of safety and efficacy data from Part 1 will be conducted by the Safety Review Team (SRT) to determine the recommended dose level (maximum 250 mg/muscle). A total of up to 40 new patients may be enrolled and randomized (1:1 randomization) to receive either ACE 083 (n=20) or placebo (n=20) bilaterally by injection into both TA muscles once every 3 weeks for up to 17 doses.
Study duration for Parts 1 and 2 for each patient will be approximately 24 weeks, including a 4-week screening period, a 12-week treatment period, and an 8-week follow-up period after the last dose.
Study duration for Part 2 will be 15 months, including 4-week screening, 6 months double blind placebo-controlled, 6 months open-label and 8 week follow-up.

|
Change from baseline in static and dynamic balance, as measured by the Berg Balance Scale, a 14-item scoring system to assess balance and fall risk in adults.
The Berg balance scale is used to objectively determine a patient's ability (or inability) to safely balance during a series of predetermined tasks.
It is a 14 item list with each item consisting of a five-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating the lowest level of function and 4 the highest level of function.
Total scores are used for reporting, with a range of 0-56, with higher scores mean a better demonstration of function.
A score of 56 indicates functional balance.
A score of < 45 indicates individuals may be at greater risk of falling.
The pre-specified timepoints for reporting are baseline Berg scale score and Day 190 score, therefore data for the open-label arm of the study is not reported.

|
Change from baseline in the Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) Examination Score, version 2 (CMTES2), a composite scoring system to assess sensory and motor impairment in subjects with CMT.
The total score is a subset of the following items from the CMT neuropathy score instrument: Sensory symptoms, Motor symptoms (legs), Motor symptoms (arms), Pinprick Sensibility, Vibration, Strength (legs), and Strength (arms).
Each individual item is assessed using a rating from 0 to 4 inclusive.
The range of CMTES2 scores is from 0 to 28 inclusive.
