Conditions: Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy; Distal Myopathy With Rimmed Vacuoles; Distal Myopathy, Nonaka Type; GNE Myopathy; Quadriceps Sparing Myopathy

Summary: the objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of ace-er treatment in subjects with gnem.

this phase 3b extension study will assess the long-term safety of ace-er in patients who participated in and completed study ux001-cl301 (nct02377921), study ux001-cl202 (nct01830972), and study ux001-cl203 (nct02731690).
