ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryRett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire (RSBQ) Total Score - Change From Baseline to Week 12Baseline and Week 12
The RSBQ is a 45-item caregiver-completed rating scale that includes 45 items, 39 of them grouped into 8 subscales, whose ratings reflect the severity and frequency of symptoms. Items are rated as 0 (not true), 1 (somewhat or sometimes true), or 2 (very true). The 8 subscales are general mood, breathing problems, hand behavior, face movements, body rocking/expressionless face, night-time behaviors, fear/anxiety, and walking/standing. Scores for item 31 are reversed in the calculation of the total score. The total score ranges from 0 to 90 and is calculated as the sum of the item scores. Higher scores mean worse behaviour.
PrimaryClinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) Score at Week 1212 Weeks Treatment Duration
To rate how much the subject's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state, a 7-point scale is used from 1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse, 7=very much worse.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 12 in Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Developmental Profile™ Infant-Toddler Checklist - Social Composite Score (CSBS-DP-IT Social)12 Weeks Treatment Duration
Standardized screening scale for assessing communication and pre-linguistic skills in young children 12-24 months and can be used with older children with developmental delay. The CSBS-DP includes a suite of three separate measures: The Infant-Toddler Checklist, a follow-up Caregiver Questionnaire and a Behavior Sample. In this study only the Infant-Toddler (CSBS-DP-IT) Checklist was used. The CSBS-DP-IT Checklist is a 24-item rating scale and each item is scored using a three-level rating of frequency: "not yet", "sometimes" and "often". The CSBS-DP-IT Social Composite score the range was 0 to 26 and a higher score represented a worse outcome. Three composite scores can be calculated: 1) Social Composite; 2) Speech Composite; 3) Symbolic Composite.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 12 in Impact of Childhood Neurologic Disability Scale (ICND) Total Score12 Weeks Treatment Duration
The Impact of Childhood Neurologic Disability (ICND) scale evaluates the effect of four conditions or health problems on 11 aspects of a child's or family's life as "A lot", "Some", "A little", "Not at all", or "Does not apply". The four conditions or health problems are 1) inattentiveness, impulsivity, or mood, 2) ability to think and remember, 3) neurologic or physical limitations, and 4) epilepsy. The ICND score the range of 0 to 132 and a higher score represents a worse outcome.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 12 in Rett Syndrome Clinician Rating of Hand Function (RTT-HF)12 Weeks Treatment Duration
Clinical assessment of the subject's ability to use their hands for functional purposes (such as reaching for and grasping objects, self-feeding, or drawing). The assessment is made on an 8-point Likert scale (0-7) with 0 denoting normal functioning and 7 the most severe impairment.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 12 in Rett Syndrome Clinician Rating of Ambulation and Gross Motor Skills (RTT-AMB)12 Weeks Treatment Duration
Clinical assessment of the subject's ability to sit, stand, and ambulate (e.g., walking, running, and climbing stairs). The assessment was made on an 8-point Likert scale (0 to 7), with 0 denoting normal functioning and 7 as the most severe impairment.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 12 in Rett Syndrome Clinician Rating of Ability to Communicate Choices (RTT-COMC)12 Weeks Treatment Duration
Clinical assessment of the subject's ability to communicate their choices or preferences, which can include the use of nonverbal means such as eye contact or gestures. The assessment is made on an 8-point Likert scale (0-7) with 0 denoting normal functioning and 7 the most severe impairment.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 12 in Rett Syndrome Clinician Rating of Verbal Communication (RTT-VCOM)12 Weeks Treatment Duration
Clinical assessment of the subject's ability to communicate verbally (e.g. words and phrases). The assessment is made on an 8-point Likert scale (0-7) with 0 denoting normal functioning and 7 the most severe impairment.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 12 in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S)12 Weeks Treatment Duration
A 7 point scale that rates the severity of the subject's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's experience with subjects who have the same diagnosis. A subject is assessed on severity of illness at the time of rating: 1, normal, not at all ill; 2, borderline ill; 3, mildly ill; 4, moderately ill; 5, markedly ill; 6, severely ill; or 7, extremely ill.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 12 in Rett Syndrome Caregiver Burden Inventory (RTT-CBI) Total Score (Items 1-24)12 Weeks Treatment Duration
The Rett Syndrome Caregiver Burden Inventory (RTT-CBI) scale is intended to directly address caregiver burden and indirectly assess the significance of treatment effects on function in the context of activities of daily living. Ratings are on a 5-point Likert scale including: 0-never; 1-rarely; 2-sometimes; 3-frequently and 4-nearly always. As in the original Caregiver Burden Inventory, the RTT-CBI has 24 negatively worded items (items 1 through 24) yielding a total score up to 96. The RTT-CBI the range is 0 to 96 and a higher score represents a worse outcome.
