Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Established, genetically confirmed diagnosis of FSHD.

- Onset of FSHD signs or symptoms prior to 10 years of age, as documented in the
patient's medical record or based on patient or family report.

- Provide written informed consent or assent

- In the Investigator's opinion, patient is willing and able to complete all study
procedures and comply with the weekly study visit schedule.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Currently receiving treatment with an immunomodulatory agent including targeted
biological therapies within the 3 months before baseline; corticosteroids within 3
months before baseline; or high-dose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents within 2
weeks before baseline.

- Currently receiving curcumin or albuterol; use of a product that putatively enhances
muscle growth or activity on a chronic basis within 4 weeks before baseline; statin
treatment initiation or significant adjustment to statin regimen within 3 months
before baseline (stable, chronic statin use is permissible).

- Use of an investigational product or device within 30 days before baseline.

- Evidence of an alternative diagnosis other than FSHD or a coexisting myopathy or
dystrophy, based on prior muscle biopsy or other available investigations.

- History of severe restrictive or obstructive lung disease, or evidence for
interstitial lung disease on screening chest radiograph.

- History of anti-synthetase syndrome, prior Jo-1 Ab-positivity, or a positive or
equivocally positive Jo-1 Ab test result during screening.

- Chronic infection, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus
or a history of tuberculosis.

- Vaccination within 8 weeks before baseline or vaccination is planned during study
participation.

- Symptomatic cardiomyopathy or severe cardiac arrhythmia, that may, in the
Investigator's opinion, limit the patient's ability to complete the study protocol.

- Muscle biopsy within 30 days before baseline.
