Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Change in DKEFS Trail Making Test - Condition 2 Measure of processing speed. This is a paper and pencil test requiring subjects to connect in order 25 encircled numbers randomly arranged using pencil lines. Weeks 0, 4, 8, 3-month follow- up
Other Change in DKEFS Color-Word Interference Test Measure of response inhibition. This test is divided into four sections: color naming, word reading, color-word inhibition, and color-word inhibition/ switching. The score in each condition is the completion time as well as the number of errors and self-corrections. Weeks 0, 4, 8, 3-month follow- up
Other Change in WAIS-IV Digit Span Forwards Measure of attention. This test requires participants to repeat back strings of digits in the same order in which they heard them. Weeks 0, 4, 8, 3-month follow- up
Other Change in WAIS-IV Digit Span Backwards Measure of working memory. This test requires participants to repeat back strings of digits in the reverse order in which they heard them. Weeks 0, 4, 8, 3-month follow- up
Other Change in WAIS-IV Symbol Search Measure of processing speed. Subjects are required to visually scan and mark off the same object as a target stimulus among a set of distractors in a 120 second time limit. Weeks 0, 4, 8, 3-month follow- up
Other Change in DKEFS Letter and Category Naming Test Measure of verbal fluency. This test requires subjects to generate words that begin with a particular letter or belong to a particular semantic category as quickly as possible. Total score is the number of words generated in 60 seconds per trial. Weeks 0, 4, 8, 3-month follow- up
Other Change in California Verbal Learning Test-II Measure of short-term and long-term verbal memory. For this test, the participant is read a list of words five times. He/she is asked to recall what was on the list immediately after each reading of the list. After a delay, the participant is again asked to recall what words were on the list. Weeks 0, 4, 8, 3-month follow- up
Other Change in Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised Measure of visual spatial memory. Subjects reproduce a series of six designs on paper, visually presented for 10 seconds on three trials. After a delay, the subject is asked to recall the presented designs again. Weeks 0, 4, 8, 3-month follow- up
Primary Change in Sheehan Disability Scale Self-report questionnaire of everyday functioning. It includes three subscales: work, social life, leisure activities, and home life or family responsibilities. Each subscale is rated on a 10-point scale for a minimum total score of 0 and a maximum total summed score of 30 across the three subscales. High scores are associated with more impairment. Screen, Week 0, Week 4, Week 8, 3-month follow-up
Primary Change in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale Clinician-rated measure of depression composed of 21 questions. The first 17 items are scored: eight items have a 5-point scale, nine items have a 3-point scale. Total score range is 0-52. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms. Screen, Week 0, Week 4, Week 8, 3-month follow-up
Primary Change in DKEFS Trail Making Test - Condition 4 Measure of executive function. It is a switching task that requires the subject to connect numbers and letters in an alternating pattern (1-A-2-B, etc.) as quickly as possible. Weeks 0, 4, 8, 3-month follow- up
Primary Change in Emotional Go/No Go Task (fMRI) Measure of behavioral inhibition and set shifting. Participants must press a button for pre-specified to go trials and withhold pressing the button for pre-specified no-go trials. Week 0, Week 4 or Week 8 (depending on randomization)
Secondary Change in Beck Depression Inventory-II Self-report questionnaire of depression composed of 21 questions on a 4-point scale. Total score ranges from 0-63. Higher scores indicate worse symptom severity. Screen, weekly for weeks 0-8, 3-month follow-up
Secondary Change in WAIS-IV Coding Participants are required to copy symbols paired with numbers in a 120 second time limit. The score is the number correct in the allotted time. Weeks 0, 4, 8, 3-month follow- up
Secondary Change in Connectivity Index (resting state fMRI) Measure of resting state fMRI. Higher scores indicate more connectivity within the network Week 0, Week 4 or Week 8 (depending on randomization)
