Study Summary

The purpose of this Proof of Concept study is to determine the effects of BYM338 on skeletal muscle volume, mass, and strength and patient function (gait speed) in non-demented elderly adults with sarcopenia and mobility limitations. In addition, this study will generate data on the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BYM338 in older adults and its response on additional physical function measures in this population. Furthermore, the extended study duration will provide information on the stability of BYM-induced changes in skeletal muscle and patient function in this subgroup of the older population.
