Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function Using Trails B at Month 3

    Time frame: Baseline, Month 3

    Trail B test is a set of shifting task, in which participants were asked to drawn a line from number 1 to letter A, then to number 2, then to letter B, then to number 3, then to letter C then so forth until they connected the circles as quickly as possible, without lifting pen or pencil from the paper. Participant was timed (maximum time limit was 300 seconds or 5 minutes) to connect the "trail." If the participant made an error, and it was pointed out immediately, the participant was allowed to correct it. Errors affected the participant's score only in that the correction of errors was included in the completion time for the task. A higher number of errors was indicative of a higher cognitive deficit. Raw results were the number of seconds required to complete the task; therefore, higher scores reveal greater impairment. Raw results based on age norms were transformed to Z-scores. Z-score = actual value minus normative value divided by standard deviation.

  8. Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function Using Metacognition Index From Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) at Month 3

    Time frame: Baseline, Month 3

    BRIEF has 86-items to measure the neurocognitive performance for 8 subscales: inhibit, shift, emotional control, initiate, working memory, plan-organize, organization of materials and monitor. These are subsumed in 2 broad factors: a behavior regulation index consisted inhibit, shift, and emotional control subscales, a metacognition index consisted working memory, initiate, plan/organize, organization of materials, and task-monitor scale. Each item had a 3-point scale (1= never, 2= sometimes, 3= often). Z-score was based on mean raw score for T-score= 50 and SD = +/- 10. (actual value raw score at T=50)/SD (mean SD where T=40,60), based on age and gender norms from BRIEF professional manual. T-score provided information of individual's scores relative to scores of respondents in the standardization sample. Lower Z- scores indicated better functioning.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants in Each Category of Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) Scale at Month 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36

    Time frame: Month 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36

    CGI-I scale was a 7-point scale used to rate improvement in the participant's condition (benefits). Scale range/categories: 1 = very much improved, 2 = much improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = Not changed, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = much worse, and 7 = very much worse. Higher score indicated worse condition.

  2. Number of Participants in Each Category of Clinical Global Impression-Tolerability (CGI-T) Scale at Month 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36

    Time frame: Month 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36

    CGI-T scale was a 7-point scale used to assess the tolerability of the study medication with respect to adverse events. Scale range/categories: 1= very high, 2= high, 3= above average, 4= average, 5= low, 6= very low, and 7= extremely low. Higher score indicated less tolerability with study medication.

  3. Number of Participants Who Were Responders According to Clinical Global Impression-Effectiveness (CGI-E) Scale at Month 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36

    Time frame: Month 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36

    The CGI-E was the value at which the participant's therapeutic benefit and adverse impact to the study drug intersected. Firstly clinician identified the degree of therapeutic benefit on scale range: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, unchanged or worse. Secondly, the clinician rater identified the degree to which problems with tolerability adversely impact the participant on scale range: no adverse impact, mild adverse impact, moderate adverse impact, outweighs therapeutic effect. Finally, clinician identified in which participants benefits and adverse impacts intersected. Participants were then determined to be responders or non-responders to the study medication.

  4. Number of Participants in Each Category of Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Scale at Baseline, Month 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36

    Time frame: Baseline, Month 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36

    CGI-S scale was a 7-point scale used to assess severity of illness on a range of 1 to 7; where, 1= normal, not mentally ill, 2= borderline mentally ill, 3= mildly mentally ill, 4= moderately mentally ill, 5= markedly mentally ill, 6= severely mentally ill, and 7= among the most extremely mentally. Higher score indicated worse condition.

  5. Change From Baseline in Child Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) at Month 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36

    Time frame: Baseline, Month 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36

    CGAS was to rate the general functioning of the study participants on a numeric scale of 1 to 100, where 1= extremely impaired and 100= doing very well.

  6. Change From Baseline in General Health and Social Functioning Using the Health of the Nation Outcome Scale for Children and Adolescents (HoNOSCA) Total Score at Month 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36

    Time frame: Baseline, Month 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36

    HoNOSCA scale had 13-sub-scales used to assess general health and social functioning. 13 sub-scales were as the following: disruptive or aggressive behavior, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), self-harm, substance abuse, school problems, physical illness, psychosis, physical symptoms, internalizing symptoms, peer relationships, self-care, family relationships and school attendance problems. Each sub-scale had a range of 0 (no problems) to 4 (severe problems). Scores from all 13 sub-scales were summed up to give overall possible HoNOSCA total score range of 0 to 52. Higher score indicated worse condition.
