SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 14

Population: Intention-to-treat (ITT) population defined as all patients who were randomized and had at least one post-baseline daily diary entry.

Change from Baseline in the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) score for fatigue at the Week 14 endpoint. Subjects are asked to reflect on their fatigue symptoms in the past 7 days and respond to 8 questions on a 5 point scale (1 to 5) where a higher score indicates a worse outcome. The total score is reported on a range of 8 to 40. Raw scores are converted to T-scores based on US population with score of 50 as average with a standard deviation of 10.

Population: Intention-to-treat (ITT) population defined as all patients who were randomized and had at least one post-baseline daily diary entry.

Change from Baseline in the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) score for cognitive function at the Week 14 endpoint. Subjects are asked to reflect on their cognitive function and abilities in the past 7 days and respond to 8 questions on a 5 point scale (1 to 5) where a higher score indicates a worse outcome. The total score is reported on a range of 8 to 40. Raw scores are converted to T-scores based on US population with score of 50 as average with a standard deviation of 10.
