Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Confirmed Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) RespondersVisit 1 (Baseline) to Visit 8 (week 48/Final Visit)
A confirmed SRS responder was defined as a patient who had at least 12 weeks of exposure to memantine, and a ≥ 10-point reduction in the SRS total raw score relative to baseline at 2 consecutive visits separated by at least 2 weeks. The SRS is a 65-item, caregiver-rated assessment scale that measures observable items on social behavior and social language use, as well as characteristics of autism in a naturalistic social setting. Each item is rated on a scale from 0 (never true) to 3 (almost always true). The SRS total raw score ranges from 0 to 195; a higher score indicates greater severity of social impairment.

Of the 906 patients who enrolled in the study 903 received at least 1 dose of open-label treatment to comprise the Safety Population. The Intent to Treat (ITT) population included the 868 patients in the Safety population who also had at least 1 post-Visit 1 assessment of the SRS total raw score.
