Trial Outcomes & Findings for ASPIRE Cognitive Enhancement Study (NCT NCT02657954)

NCT ID: NCT02657954

Last Updated: 2024-01-09

Results Overview

Global Deficit Score (composite score) from MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery plus Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) subtests (Verbal Fluency, Color-Word Interference), Trail Making Test, Part B Global deficit score range = 0-5, lower scores are better, higher scores are worse. For change in global deficit score, higher is better.
