Trial Outcomes & Findings for Disulfiram: A Test of Symptom Reduction Among Patients With Previously Treated Lyme Disease (NCT NCT03891667)

NCT ID: NCT03891667

Last Updated: 2025-01-09

Results Overview

This is a psychometrically validated self-report measure of fatigue. This measure consists of 11 items inquiring about the severity of fatigue in different situations during the past week. Scores for each item range from 1 to 7, where 1 indicates strong disagreement and 7 strong agreement. Higher scores indicate higher levels of fatigue. A responder on the FSS is an individual whose FSS total score has decreased by 0.7 its when compared baseline to week 10 (or last observation carried forward); 0.7 refers to the minimally clinical significant difference (MCID) in change over time. We report the number of participants who reached a meaningful reduction in fatigue (equal or more than MCID).

The Q-LES-Q - SF is a self-reported questionnaire, with 16 items evaluating overall enjoyment and satisfaction with physical health, mood, work, household and leisure activities, social and family relationships, daily functioning, sexual life, economic status, overall well-being and medications. Responses are scored on a 5-point scale, where higher scores indicate better enjoyment and satisfaction with life (possible range 14-70). Fourteen summated items create the total Q-LES-Q - SF score. Two last items, about medications and overall life satisfaction, are considered independently. Meaningful improvement on the Q-LES-Q to is a change score between baseline and week 10 (or last observation carried forward) of at least 6.8 points; 6.8 refers to the minimally clinical significant difference (MCID) where a score equal to or greater than 6.8 points represents an improved quality of file. We report # with meaningful improvement.

The Short Form (36) Health Survey is a 36-item, patient-reported survey of patient health. The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. The 8 scales are-vitality, physical functioning, bodily pain, general health perceptions, physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, social role functioning mental health. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale, the lower the score the more disability and the higher the score the less disability. We calculate the Physical Component Summary (PCS) (representing physical functioning) which represent the items in the SF-36 representing physical functioning (Ware, 2000); as in the sub scales, lower scores indicate greater disability.The norm-based estimate has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. We report the magnitude of the score change from baseline to week 10 (or the last observation carried forward (LOCF); negative change scores indicate improvement.

This is a psychometrically validated 30 item self-report measure of symptom burden. The measure asks participants to rate how bothered they have been with a particular symptom over a 2-week time frame. Responses are made on 5-point Likert scale ranging from "not at all" to "very much" (scored 0-4); and the total score ranges from 0-120. Higher scores indicate more symptom severity. We report the magnitude of the score change (week 10 or last observation carried forward (LOCF)) minus the baseline score; a positive change score indicates improvement.

The PROMIS-29 is a psychometrically validated 29 item self-report measure covering 7 domains. The questions are ranked on a 5-point Likert Scale. The composite score on 5 symptoms of the 7 domains is known as the SPADE summary score (sleep disturbance, pain, anxiety, depression, and low energy/fatigue); this represents the most common chronic symptoms in the general population. Each domain has 5 response options (e.g., 1=not at all to 5=very much), with scale scores ranging from 4 to 20 and higher scores indicating worse symptom severity. Using the scores from these 5 domains, we calculated the average score (SPADE score); the SPADE score ranges from 1 to 5 with higher scores indicating more symptom severity. We report the magnitude of the change in SPADE scores from baseline to week 10 (or the last observation carried forward (LOCF)); a positive change score indicates improvement.
