Clinical Trial Summary

This measurement validation study will use qualitative and quantitative methodology to evaluate the Observer-Reported Communication Ability Measure (ORCA), to appropriately capture communication abilities in individuals with Rett syndrome. The ORCA Measure is a caregiver-reported questionnaire that collects caregiver observations of their child's communication abilities including expressive, receptive and pragmatic communication types. Caregivers will participate via phone interviews and online surveys. Approximately 270 participants will be enrolled.


Clinical Trial Description

This study will develop the Observer-Reported Communication Ability Measure (ORCA), originally validated for Angelman syndrome, to appropriately capture communication abilities in individuals with Rett syndrome. The ORCA Measure is a caregiver-reported questionnaire that collects caregiver observations of their child's communication abilities including expressive, receptive and pragmatic communication. The goal of the study is to generate a validated tool to comprehensively assess communication in Rett syndrome and create an important endpoint for use in clinical trials. In phase 1, a hybrid approach to concept elicitation and cognitive testing will occur with caregivers to assess the existing ORCA measure and evaluate ORCA content validity. Approximately 20 parents/caregivers of individuals with Rett syndrome will participate in qualitative in-depth interviews. The ORCA measure, instructions, recall period, and response choices will be evaluated. In phase 2, psychometric properties including reliability, floor/ceiling effects, construct validity, and test-retest will be evaluated with approximately 250 caregiver-parents of individuals with Rett syndrome. Caregivers will also complete additional questionnaires to allow comparison between the ORCA measure and existing measures. Analysts will use a variety of statistical methods to evaluate the psychometric properties of the ORCA measure in Rett syndrome. ;
