SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 28 weeks

Population: Due to the very small number of samples collected, samples were not analyzed

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) are characterized by hyperphosphorylation of tau. Lithium inhibits one of the kinases (GSK-3 beta) that phosphorylates tau; levels of tau phosphorylation will be measured at baseline and at Week 28.

Population: Due to the very small number of samples collected, samples were not analyzed

With inhibition of Glycogen Synthase Kinase (GSK)-3 beta, levels of BDNF may increase. BDNF levels will be measured at baseline and at Week 28.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 28 weeks

The PSP Rating Scale is a 28-item scale designed to assess the disability associated with PSP. The six functional categories assessed are: daily activities, behavior, bulbar function, oculomotor function, limb motor function, and gait/midline function. Subjects will be assessed at baseline and Weeks 12, 20, and 28.
