Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Pilot Trial of Interferon Beta-1a in Alzheimer's Disease (NCT NCT01075763)

NCT ID: NCT01075763

Last Updated: 2014-02-13

Results Overview

ADAS: global rating scale created to evaluate both cognitive and functional aspects linked with disease progression. ADAS-Cog: subscale of ADAS which consists in a series of short tests aimed to evaluate possible cognitive impairment due to disease progression. It includes 11 items, testing word-finding difficulty, following commands, naming: objects and fingers, orientation, word recognition, recall of test instructions, constructions, ideational praxis, spoken language ability, comprehension of spoken language and word recall. Scores range from 0 (no impairment) to 70 (serious deficit).

MMSE is a tool for screening cognitive decline associated with dementia. It is a brief examination intended to evaluate an adult participant's level of cognitive functioning. The test is performed in following areas: orientation in time and place, learning and immediate recall, mental control and concentration, short-term recall, naming ability, language expression, verbal comprehension, writing comprehension, writing ability and visual-spatial coordination. Scores range between 0 (maximum cognitive deficit) and 30 (no cognitive deficit).

ADAS-NonCog is a subscale of ADAS aimed to evaluate the non-cognitive features such as mood state and behavioral changes. It takes about 10 minutes to be performed and includes 10 items: testing tearful, depressed mood, concentration/distractibility, uncooperative to testing, delusions, hallucinations, pacing, motor activity increase, tremors and appetite change. Scores range between 0 (excellent performance) and 35 (worst performance).

IADL is used to evaluate participants with early-stage disease, both to assess level of disease and to determine participant's ability of self-care. IADL scale measures functional impact of emotional, cognitive, and physical impairments. It provides information about participants' compromising rate and care he might need. It includes 8 items: testing ability to use telephone, shopping, food preparation, housekeeping, laundry, mode of transportation, responsibility for own medication and ability to handle finances. Scores range between 0 (impairment) and 8 (full independence).

PSMS designed as a disability measure for use in planning and evaluating treatment in elderly participants living in community or in institutions, is Guttman scale containing 6 items of self-care. The scale is based on theory that human behavior can be ordered in a hierarchy of complexity, within each category, a further hierarchy of complexity runs from basic to complex activities. It includes 6 items, testing the following areas: toilet use, eating, dressing, physical appearance, deambulation and bath. Scores range between 0 (excellent performance) and 30 (worst performance).

CIBIC-PLUS: structured instrument based on comprehensive evaluation of 3 domains: participant cognition, behavior and functioning, including assessment of daily living activities. It includes 15 items and represents assessment of skilled clinician using validated scales based on the observation at interviews conducted separately with participant and caregiver familiar with behavior of participant. According to comparison between baseline and follow-up assessments, scores can range between 1 (markedly improved) and 7 (markedly worsened), with 4 indicating no change observed between two visits.
