ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryBayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 2nd Edition (BSID-II) Score at Baseline, 8 Weeks After Treatment, and at 16 Week Follow-upBaseline, 8 weeks & 16 weeks
The primary outcome measure consists of improvement in raw and standard scores on the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development when post Minocycline administration results are compared to baseline results. This is an individually administered test used to asses developmental functioning. The Bayley scales are typically used for ages 1-42 months, and can be utilized to identify developmental delay by evaluating five major areas of development: cognitive, communication, physical, social/emotional, and adaptive. The score ranges for each subscale are as follows: Cognitive, 0-91; Communication, 0-75; Receptive Language, 0-49; Expressive Language, 0-48; Gross Motor, 0-72; Fine Motor, 0-66; Self-Care, 0-72; and Self-Direction, 0-75. Fine and Gross Motor scores were summed for the Motor domain; Receptive and Expressive Language were combined for the Language domain. Increase in raw score indicates improvement in the specific subdomain for each of the listed scales.
SecondaryNormalization of the EEG (Electroencephalogram) SignatureBaseline, 8 and 16 weeks
A scoring system was used to evaluate several aspects of the EEG recordings regardless of whether or not they were a part of AS specific EEG patterns. Points were assigned when a particular characteristic was observed. For instance, when evaluating the EEG background, 1 point was assigned if primarily theta waves (mild slowing, \>50%) were observed. When a mixture of theta and delta waves (moderate slowing) were observed, 2 points were assigned. When primarily delta waves (severe slowing, \>50%) were recorded 3 points were assigned. Other EEG characteristics were also examined including occipital rhythm (normal-1, slow-2 and absent-3), rhythmic theta (present \<50% of time-1, present \>50% of time-2) rhythmic delta (present-3) and epileptiform abnormalities (present-1, focal-1, multifocal-1, generalized-1, seizure-2). The points were totaled resulting in a total score, ranging from 0 (most normal) to 24 (most abnormal).
SecondaryVineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, 4th Edition (Vineland-II)Score at Baseline, 8 Weeks After Treatment, and at 16 Week Follow-upBaseline, 8 and 16 weeks
This test is to measure the adaptive behaviors; the ability to adapt to changes in one's environment, learn new everyday skills and level of independence. It measures social and personal skills via five major domains: communication, daily living skills, socialization, motor skills, and a maladaptive behavioral index. These scales can be used to support the diagnosis of intellectual and developmental disability. The score ranges for each subdomain are as follows: Receptive Communication, 0-108; Expressive Communication, 0-308; Fine Motor, 0-196; Gross Motor, 0-228; Personal Daily Living Skills, 0-268; Domestic Daily Living Skills, 0-184; Community Daily Living Skills, 0-348; Internalizing Maladaptive Behavior, 0-22; and Externalizing Maladaptive Behavior, 0-20. These raw scores are allocated into the five major domains, and standardized for analysis of results.Increase in raw score indicates improvement in the specific subdomain for each, except for Maladaptive Behavior Scales.
SecondaryPreschool Language Scale, Fourth Edition (PLS-4)Score at Baseline, 8 Weeks After Treatment, and at 16 Week Follow-upBaseline, 8 and 16 weeks
This test is used to evaluate the development of expressive and receptive language development. It also can be used to assess behaviors considered to be language precursors. The PLS use a play-based assessment to provide a comprehensive developmental language appraisal. These scales assess auditory and expressive comprehension. The score ranges for the two subdomains of this measure depend on 16 chronological age ranges from birth - 7 years, with a score range of 0-62 in Auditory Comprehension and 0-68 for Expressive Communication in a 7 year old. Minimum range: 50 (lower language abilities) Maximum range: 150 (higher language abilities). The PLS use a play-based assessment to provide a comprehensive developmental language appraisal. Increase in raw score indicates improvement in the specific subdomain. These raw scores are standardized for analysis and comparison. Standardization does not impact the interpretation of the results
SecondaryClinical Global Impressions Severity Scale Score at Baseline, 8 Weeks After Treatment, and at 16 Week Follow-upBaseline, 8 & 16 weeks
The CGI is a brief assessment used by the clinician to describe the participants condition before and after the administration of a study medication.It is a research rating tool that physicians use to provide a timely assessment of a clinician's view of a particular patient's global functioning before and after the usage of a study medication. The CGI is used to measure the change since the initiation of treatment; both measures 10 questions on a seven-point Likert-type scale ranging from ranging from 1 to 7 points, equaling 10-70 points total, from which the mean is attained. A decrease in mean score indicates improvement in the specific sub-domain.
