- Change From Baseline in Neurocognitive Development Quotient [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
Quotient between age equivalent score and age, 0 - 100%, where high values are desirable. The age equivalent score represent the age of the typical and normal individual who would achieve the same result as the one who was tested.
The age equivalent scores are assessed by the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development®, third edition cognitive subtest or the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, Second edition.
The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-Third Edition is an individually administered test designed to assess developmental functioning of infants and toddlers. The Bayley-III assesses development in five areas: cognitive, language, motor, social-emotional, and adaptive behavior.
The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) is a clinical instrument for assessing cognitive development.
- Change From Baseline in Age-equivalence Score [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
The age equivalent score represent the age in months of the typical and normal individual who would achieve the same result as the one who was tested.
The age equivalent scores are assessed by the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development®, third edition cognitive subtest or the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, Second edition.
The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-Third Edition is an individually administered test designed to assess developmental functioning of infants and toddlers. The Bayley-III assesses development in five areas: cognitive, language, motor, social-emotional, and adaptive behavior.
The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) is a clinical instrument for assessing cognitive development.
- Change From Baseline in Age-equivalence Score as Assessed by VABS-II [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
The age equivalent score represent the age in months of the typical and normal individual who would achieve the same result as the one who was tested.
The age equivalent scores are assessed by Vineland™ Adaptive Behavior Scales, Expanded Interview Form, Second edition (VABS-II). The Vineland is designed to measure adaptive behavior of individuals from birth to age 90.
The Vineland-II contains 5 domains each with 2-3 subdomains. The main domains are: Communication, Daily Living Skills, Socialization, Motor Skills, and Maladaptive Behavior.
- Change From Baseline in Gray Matter Volume [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]Grey matter contains most of the brain's neuronal cell bodies. The grey matter includes regions of the brain involved in muscle control, and sensory perception such as seeing and hearing, memory, emotions, speech, decision making, and self-control. The gray matter volume will be measured by volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- Change From Baseline in Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL™) Total Score [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL™) is a modular approach to measuring health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in healthy children and adolescents and those with acute and chronic health conditions. Lower scores indicate better functioning. Min score = 0, and max score = 144.
- Change From Baseline in PedsQL™ Family Impact Module Total Score [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL™) is a modular approach to measuring health-related quality of life in healthy children and adolescents and those with acute and chronic health conditions. The measure includes a scale, from where the categorical score "4", "3", "2", "1", and "0" was reversed and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale to 4=0, 3=25, 2=50, 1=75 and 0=100, where 100 = minimum and 0 = maximum. The Total Score is the sum of all 36 items in the test divided by the number of items answered. Higher scores indicate better functioning.
