Trial Outcomes & Findings for Rapalogues for Autism Phenotype in TSC: A Feasibility Study (NCT NCT01929642)

NCT ID: NCT01929642

Last Updated: 2021-03-29

Results Overview

One outcome measurement of feasibility will include family/patient compliance with the treatment protocol, which will be assessed and documented at every study visit and telephone follow-up call, by the physician and/or study team member. This was calculated by calculating dividing the total number of study visits and study assessments completed by the total number of study visits and study assessments indicated by the treatment protocol.

The Caregiver Burden Scale is a standard set of questions which will be used to measure the non-medical impact of TSC on caregivers and how it affects the feasibility of study completion. The Caregiver's Burden Scale (CBS) is a 22-item scale that assess subjectively experienced burden by caregiver's to chronically disabled persons. maximum scores: 88 \& Minumum scores: 22 High values represent a worse outcome

Measurements of stress will be administered. Specifically, we will use the Parental Stress Index. Quantifying stress, as well as compliance with the study protocol, will allow investigators to objectively assess the feasibility of a larger clinical trial of sirolimus in patients with TSC. Parental stress index maximum score: 180 Parental stress index minimum score: 36 higher raw scores indicate higher levels of stress.

Repetitive behavior will be assessed using the Repetitive Behavior Scale - revised, a questionnaire to characterize several domains of repetitive behavior including ritualistic behavior, stereotypic behavior, self-injurious behavior, compulsive behavior, and restricted interests. There are 36 items on the scale. Behaviors are rated on a 4-point scale: 0-Behavior does not occur, 1-Behavior occurs and is a mild problem, 2-Behavior occurs and is a moderate problem, 3-Behavior occurs and is a severe problem. Maximum score: 108 \& minimum score: 0 A high score represents the worse outcome

Population: Self-injury was not severe enough to use the scale. Therefore analysis was not done.

The SIT Scale is a 3-part clinician-completed scale used to quantify visible injuries caused by self-injurious behavior(SIB). Part 1 includes sections to indicate SIB topographies and any evidence of healed injury. In Part 2 evaluators document the location and severity of injury (on a 3-point scale). In Part 3, respective scores from Parts 1 and 2 are summed to obtain a Number Index, a Severity Index, and Estimate of Current Risk. This Scale has been used in research with adults with SIB with inter-rater reliability averaging 85%. Maximum score: 100 Minimum score: 0 High score represent worse outcome.
