Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Trial of Dipyridamole in Schizophrenia (NCT NCT00349973)

NCT ID: NCT00349973

Last Updated: 2019-11-04

Results Overview

The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) consists of 20 items, with 6 of these items used to assess positive symptom change. The BPRS positive symptom items are: somatic concern, conceptual disorganization, hostility, suspiciousness, hallucinatory behavior, and unusual thought content. Each scale ranges from "1=Not Present" to "7=Very Severe". A higher score indicates a more severe positive symptom rating.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Follow-Up

Population: Participants completing SANS assessment.

The Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) total score, minus the global items, inappropriate affect, poverty of content of speech, and attention items, used to measure negative symptoms. Mean SANS total score by treatment and week. SANS total score range = 0-85. Higher scores indicate more severe negative symptoms.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Follow-Up

Population: Participants completing cognitive testing.

The RBANS is a brief, individually administered test designed to evaluate neuropsychological status of adults, ages 20-89. The 12 subtests measure attention, language, visuospatial/constructional abilities, and immediate and delayed memory. The raw scores from the subtests are scaled together to create index scores, and these are summed for conversion to a total scale score. Higher score equals a better outcome. The total index score range for the RBANS is 40-160.
