General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The purpose of this study is to determine whether donepezil hydrochloride (HCl) is effective and safe in improving cognitive dysfunction exhibited by children and adolescents with Down syndrome (DS). Effectiveness will be measured by rating communication, daily living skills, and social skills and relationships in subjects aged 12 to 17.

Mean Change From Baseline in V-Scale Composite Score (Sum of 9 Sub-Domains) of Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Second Edition-Parent Caregiver Rating Form (VABS-II/PCRF) at Week 10-Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) [1] | ||||||||||||||||||
End point description |
VABS-II/PCRF instrument:assess 3 domains(each with 3 subdomains):communication(subdomains:receptive,expressiveand writing), daily living skills(subdomains:personal,domestic,community), and socialization(subdomains:interpersonal relationships, play/leisure time, coping skills).Raw scores(2=always present, 1=sometimes present, 0=seldom or never present)rated by parent/caregiver from each subdomain were converted to standardized scores called V-scores. Each subdomain v-scale score ranged from 1(weakness)to 24(strength). V scores for 9 subdomains were summed to obtain composite V-score ranging from 9 to 216. Higher scores indicate higher level of adaptive functioning. ITT population: all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 1 postbaseline assessment for at least 1 efficacy variable irrespective of compliance and protocol violations. Here “Number of Subjects Analyzed” signifies subjects who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

End point description |
TOVER:subject performance based measure of expressive language function and verbal reasoning in response to questions about series of stylized pictures showing identifiable scenarios.64-item test was specifically designed to assess language function in children and adults with down syndrome(DS)across a broad range of functional ability. The test used 23 multi-colored pictures to stimulate verbal responses to questions.The test was short(completed in 15 minutes)and fast-paced(2 to 4 questions per picture). Total score ranging from 0 to 64, was derived from 64 questions, where higher score indicates better functional ability.ITT population:all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 1 post-baseline assessment for at least 1 efficacy variable irrespective of compliance and protocol violations.Number of subjects analysed:subjects who were evaluable for this outcome measure.n:subjects who were evaluable for this outcome measure at given time points.

Date |
Amendment |
||
28 Mar 2008 |
Protocol amendment 01:
1. New pregnancy reporting language was added to the AE section. Rationale: Eisai and Pfizer SOPs.
2. Concomitant medication list was changed to reflect Section 9.7 of the protocol, which allows stable use of psychotropic medications that are not highly anticholinergic and to allow as needed (PRN) use of additional medications to reflect current medical practice (Protocol Amendment II). Rationale: Administrative change to make concomitant medication list consistent with the protocol and current medical practice. |
