Registered outcomes5
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Yale Global Tic Severity Scale - Total Tic Score | Baseline and 30 days | The Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) is the standard rating scale used to assess the effects of a new treatment on the symptoms of Tourette's Disorder (TD). The YGTSS is a clinician-rated, multi-dimensional instrument for assessing tic symptom severity in children and adults with TD. Both motor and vocal tics are assessed for symptom number, frequency, intensity, complexity, and interference on a 0-5 Likert scale. Scores from each dimension are totaled to reflect the severity of motor tics (range 0-25) (min of 0 to max 25), vocal tics (range 0-25) (min of 0 to max 25) and combined tics, or Total Tic Score (TTS) (range 0-50) (min of 0 to max of 50, sum of motor tics and vocal tic scores). For all scores, lower score represents better outcome. The primary outcome measure is the YGTSS-TTS (Yale Global Tic Severity Scale Total Tic Score which includes both the motor and phonic tic scores). |
| Secondary | YGTSS Day 16 | Baseline and Day 16 | The Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) is the standard rating scale used to assess the effects of a new treatment on the symptoms of Tourette's Disorder (TD). The YGTSS is a clinician-rated, multi-dimensional instrument for assessing tic symptom severity in children and adults with TD. Both motor and vocal tics are assessed for symptom number, frequency, intensity, complexity, and interference on a 0-5 Likert scale. Scores from each dimension are totaled to reflect the severity of motor tics (range 0-25) (min of 0 to max 25), vocal tics (range 0-25) (min of 0 to max 25) and combined tics, or Total Tic Score (TTS) (range 0-50) (min of 0 to max of 50, sum of motor tics and vocal tic scores). For all scores, lower score represents better outcome. The outcome measure described is the YGTSS-TTS (Yale Global Tic Severity Scale Total Tic Score which includes both the motor and phonic tic scores) at Day 16 vs baseline. |
| Secondary | DuPaul ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) Rating Scale-IV | Baseline and 30 days | This is a validated rating scale for the symptoms of attention deficit disorder. Scale includes 18 core items, with higher score indicating greater severity of ADHD (Total score 0-54). These scores are compared from baseline and 30 days below; There are also subscales but not individually shown. The subscales include 9 items measured for Inattention; 9 for Hyperactivity/Impulsivity. A score of 2 or 3 on any item is considered clinically significant. Measure on 4-point Likert scale and also include optional performance items. Raw scores are summed for each subscale. Scores are compared to norm-referenced percentiles based on age and gender. Higher scores may indicate ADHD. |
| Secondary | Child Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale | Baseline and 30 days | The CY-BOCS is a clinician-rated, 10-item scale to both determine severity of OCD and to monitor improvement during treatment, with a higher score indicating greater severity. The scale is a clinician-rated, 10-item scale (5 items regarding severity and 5 items regarding obsessions) that includes questions about the amount of time spent on obsessions/compulsions, level of impairment or distress, and how much resistance and control subjects have over these thoughts. The 10 items are assessed on a 6-point scale with an overall score. Total score from 0 to 40 with higher score indicating greater severity. Total score change shown below. |
| Secondary | Clinical Global Impression Scale - Severity | Baseline and 30 days | Clinical Global Impression Scales (improvement and severity) are validated rating scales that measure whether the treatment improves the symptoms of the disease (CGI-I) and whether the treatment reduces the severity of the disease (CGI-S). The CGI consists of two reliable and valid 7-item Likert scales used to assess severity and change in clinical symptoms. The severity scale (CGI-S) ranges from 1 (Normal, not ill) to 7 (extremely ill). The improvement scale (CGI-I) ranges from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse) with a score of 1 or 2 defining positive response. The improvement rating compares the subject's overall clinical condition to the Baseline visit and the rater should consider the following question: "Compared to tic severity at baseline, how much has the subject changed?" Data shows how much improvement at Day 30 with Ecopipam vs Placebo. |
