Trial Outcomes & Findings for Envarsus Neurotoxicity Burden in Liver Transplant Patients (NCT NCT03823768)

NCT ID: NCT03823768

Last Updated: 2025-03-30

Results Overview

Estimate the change from baseline to six months in neurotoxicity burden measured by a composite Patient Global Impression of Improvement score (PGI-I, with a range of 4-28) The PGI-I is a global index that may be used to rate the response of a condition to a therapy (transition scale). Scale min=4, scale max=28. The scale is made up of four questions, each question has a total of 7 responses, the total score is the sum of each questions choice (1-7). Higher values represent a worsening condition. A score of 16 would indicate no overall change. A score of 15 or lower indicates improvement in the condition and a score of 17 or higher indicates a worsening of the condition. A score of 28 would indicate "very much worse," while a score of 4 would indicate "very much better." A relative change of 2 points would be considered a significant change from baseline.
