Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy Study of STX209 in Subjects With Fragile X Syndrome (NCT NCT00788073)

NCT ID: NCT00788073

Last Updated: 2013-05-06

Results Overview

The Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Community Edition (ABC-C) is a 58-item questionnaire composed of five different independent subscales. The questionnaire is completed by the parent/caregiver and lists aberrant behaviors and asks about the severity of the problem. ABC-Irritability is one of the subscales and comprises of 15 items. Minimum score is 0, maximum is 45. A decreased score indicates few aberrant behaviors and clinical improvement. The entire ABC-C assessment is administered at baseline and then at the end of each Intervention Period (4 weeks after Baseline).

POST_HOC outcome

Timeframe: 4 week treatment period

After completion of the study, but during data analysis, the ABC-C assessment was independently re-validated in Fragile X Syndrome subjects. The subscales were re-factored into a Fragile-X Syndrome specific ABC-C (ABC-FX). The ABC-FX contains the same 58 questions as the original ABC-C but there are six subscales. One of the subscales is Social Avoidance, which consists of 4 items. Minimum score is 0, maximum is 12. A decreased score indicates fewer social avoidant behaviors. A post-hoc analysis was performed from the study data examining the social avoidance subscale of the ABC-FX.
