ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Fatigue Severity Score (FSS)From baseline to week 4 (28 days of study drugs)
Change in FSS score from baseline to Week 4. The change in fatigue as measured by the FSS (Week 4 minus Baseline) using the Wilcoxon test. The FSS is a scale score ranging from 1 to 63 with higher scores indicative of more fatigue. A negative number indicates a decline in the FSS scale. Participants with FSS data at both times points were assessed.
SecondaryChange in the Brief Fatigue InventoryChange in BFI scores from baseline to week 4 (28 days of study drugs)
Questionnaire: Change in the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) from baseline to week 4. We compared BFI scores from baseline to week 4 in the ginseng 1000 and 3000 mg arms with the combined placebo arms. We used the BFI Question that assess "Worst Fatigue" score: 0 to 90 scale. Higher scores means more fatigue; negative values mean less fatigue.The BFI was used to supplement the data obtained from the FSS.
SecondaryChange in Epworth Sleepiness ScaleFrom baseline to week 4 (28 days of study drugs)
Questionnaire: Change in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score from baseline to week 4. The ESS is scale ranges from 0 to 24; higher scores mean worse sleep disorder while a negative score indicates less sleep disorder. The ESS was used to supplement the data obtained from the FSS.
SecondaryChange in Patient Health Questionnaire 9From baseline to week 4 (28 days of study drugs)
Questionnaire: Change in Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ9) score from baseline to week 4. The scale for the PHQ9 score ranges from 0 to 27; higher scores mean worse depression; negative scores indicate less depression. We compared PHQ 9 scores from baseline to week 4 in the ginseng 1000 and 3000 mg arms with the combined placebo arms. The PHQ9 was used to supplement the data obtained from the FSS.
SecondaryChange in Insomnia Severity IndexFrom baseline to week 4 (28 days of study drugs)
Questionnaire: Change in Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score from baseline to week 4. The ISI scale ranges from 0 to 28; higher scores mean worse insomnia while negative scores indicate less insomnia. The ISI was used to supplement the data obtained from the FSS.
SecondaryChange in Medical Outcomes Study HIV Health SurveyFrom baseline to week 4 (28 days of study drugs)
Questionnaire: Change in Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) HIV Health Survey score from baseline to week 4. We evaluated the MOS Energy Fatigue scores; the MOS scale ranges from 0-100; higher scores mean more energy. The MOS was used to supplement the data obtained from the FSS.
SecondaryChanges in Clinical Global ImpressionsFrom baseline to week 4 (28 days of study drugs)
Questionnaire: Change in Clinical Global Impressions (CGI) scores from baseline to week 4. CGI is an instrument for making global assessments of worsening or improvement during interventional trials. The subject rates the change in the overall status since beginning the intervention (ranging from: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, and minimally worse). We assessed the number of participants who rated "very much improved".
SecondaryInflammatory MarkersFrom baseline to week 4 (28 days of study drugs)
Laboratory - Inflammatory Markers (IMs): Change in Interleukin (IL) -6 and soluble receptors of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α 1 and 2 (sTNFR1 and sTNFR2) from baseline to week 4. Negative values indicate less change in inflammatory markers.
SecondaryChange in CD4 Cell CountFrom baseline to week 5 (28 days of study drugs)Laboratory: Change in absolute cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) cell count from baseline to week 5. Negative values mean decline in CD4 cell count.
SecondaryChange in Plasma HIV RNAFrom baseline to week 4 (28 days of study drugs)Laboratory: Change in plasma HIV RNA from baseline to week 4. A negative value means a drop in plasma HIV RNA.
SecondaryChange in PROMIS FatigueFrom baseline to week 4 (28 days of study drugs).
Questionnaire: Change in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) fatigue score from baseline to week 4. Change in PROMIS fatigue score from baseline to Week 4. The change in fatigue as measured by the PROMIS fatigue (Week 4 minus Baseline) using the Wilcoxon test. The PROMIS fatigue is a scale with normalized mean of 50 and standard deviation (SD) of 10. Higher mean values mean more fatigue and negative values indicate less fatigue.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Adverse Events in the Ginseng and Placebo ArmsFrom baseline to week 4 (28 days of study drugs)
Adverse events (AEs) were assessed from baseline to wk 4 using the NIH Division of AIDS (DAIDS) Grading Toxicity Table, a well known tool used by NIH networks for assessing the severity of AEs in participants enrolled in clinical trials. Reporting the number of participants in each arm who experienced adverse events.
