Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety Lab Evaluations [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]
    Change from baseline in safety labs including hematology, coagulation, chemistry, renal function, and liver function tests at week 24 .


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Drinking Test Score [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]
    Change from baseline in ice water drinking time, in seconds, at week 24. Times greater than 8 seconds to complete the drinking test are considered abnormal.

  2. Videofluoroscopy (VFS) Score [ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]
    Penetration aspiration score results assessed by VFS comparing baseline, prior to treatment, to week 24. This is an 8 point scale. The higher the number the greater the risk of aspiration. The result reported is the difference from the baseline scores.

  3. SWAL-QOL, Swallowing Quality of Life Questionnaire [ Time Frame: 28 weeks ]
    Summary of Quality of Life in Swallowing Disorders total symptom score results over time, change from baseline at weeks 12 and 24 This is a 100 point scale. The higher the number the better the quality of life.
