Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of SPD489 in Adults With Schizophrenia and Predominant Negative Symptoms

The SANS was modified by eliminating the global and attention items; the score of the remaining non-global items is referred to as the SANS-18 total score. Each of the 18-items is scored on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 5 (severe) with a total scoring range of 0 to 90. Higher scores indicate more impairment.

The PANSS is a validated measure that evaluates the presence, absence, and severity of 30 symptoms of schizophrenia including both positive and negative symptoms and general psychopathology. Each of the 30-items are rated on a scale of 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme) with a total scoring range of 30 to 210. Higher scores indicate more impairment.

CGI-C permits a global evaluation of the change of the subject's overall schizophrenia condition over time. It consists of a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) on the scale.

BACS measures attention and speed of processing, and the test score is the total number correct. The measure of the test is the number of correct numerals where subjects write numerals 1-9 as matches to nonmeaningful symbols on a response sheet for 90 seconds, based upon a key provided to them.

LNS is a test of verbal working memory. Subjects are presented with a sequence of numbers and letters aurally and then asked to tell the rater the numbers first from lowest to highest followed by the letters in alphabetical sequence. The measure is the number of correct sequences.

HVLT-R measures verbal learning. Test scores are the total number of words recalled correctly over 3 trials. The test consists of 12 nouns read aloud for 3 consecutive trials and each trial is followed by a recall test.

UPSA-B assesses skills in 5 areas of life functioning. It contains 2 subscales. Percentages correct on these 2 subscales are multiplied by 50. Thus, scores can range from 0 to 50 on each of these 2 subscales, and total scores can range from 0 to 100. Scores of 75 or higher are associated with independent living.

BRIEF-A is a validated 75-item questionnaire composed of three indexes (Global Executive Composite, Behavioral Recognition Index, and Metacognition Index). Items are rated 1 (never), 2 (sometimes), and 3 (often). Raw scale scores are used to generate T-scores. A reduction in score indicates less impairment.

BAS scale has objective, subjective, and global impression components of akathisia (motor restlessness that manifests itself with an inability to sit still or remain motionless). Objective and subjective components are rated on a scale from 0 (normal/absence) to 3 (severe) and are summed yielding a total score of 0 to 9. Global impression is rated on a scale from 0 (absent) to 5 (severe) with a total score ranging from 0 to 5. Lower scores indicate reduced restlessness.
