Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether donepezil HCl is effective and safe in improving cognitive dysfunction exhibited by children and adolescents with Down syndrome (DS). Effectiveness will be measured by rating communication, daily living skills, and social skills and relationships in subjects aged 10 to 17.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Mean Change From Baseline in V-Scale Composite Score (Sum of 9 Sub-Domains) of Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Second Edition-Parent Caregiver Rating Form (VABS-II/PCRF) at Week 10-Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) [Baseline, Week 10]

      The VABS-II/PCRF instrument was used in this study to assess 3 domains (each with 3 sub-domains): communication (sub-domains: receptive, expressive, and writing), daily living skills (sub-domains: personal, domestic, community), and socialization (sub-domains: interpersonal relationships, play/leisure time, coping skills). Raw scores (2=always present, 1=sometimes present, 0=seldom or never present) rated by the parent/caregiver from each sub-domain were converted to standardized scores called V-scores, which are based on age and a national sample of normal children. Each sub-domain v-scale score ranged from 1 (weakness) to 24 (strength). V-scores for the 9 sub-domains were summed to obtain a composite V-score ranging from 9 to 216. Higher scores indicate a higher level of adaptive functioning. A positive change from baseline indicates an improvement in adaptive functioning. Composite V-scores have a mean (50th percentile) of 100 and a standard deviation (SD) of 15.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Mean Change From Baseline in V-Scale Composite Score (Sum of 9 Sub-domains) of Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Second Edition-Parent Caregiver Rating Form (VABS-II/PCRF) at Week 4 and 10-Observed Cases (OC) [Baseline, Week 4 and Week 10]

      The VABS-II/PCRF instrument was used in this study to assess 3 domains (each with 3 sub-domains): communication (sub-domains: receptive, expressive, writing), daily living skills (sub-domains: personal, domestic, community), and socialization (sub-domains: interpersonal relationships, play/leisure time, coping skills). Raw scores (2=always present, 1=sometimes present, 0=seldom or never present) rated by the parent/caregiver from each sub-domain were converted to standardized scores called V-scores, which are based on age and a national sample of normal children. Each sub-domain v-scale score ranged from 1 (weakness) to 24 (strength). V-scores for the 9 sub-domains were summed to obtain a composite V-score ranging from 9 to 216. Higher scores indicate a higher level of adaptive functioning. A positive change from baseline indicates an improvement in adaptive functioning. Composite V-scores have a mean (50th percentile) of 100 and a SD of 15.

    2. Mean Change From Baseline in Test of Verbal Expression and Reasoning (TOVER) Total Score at Week 4 and 10-OC [Baseline, Week 4 and Week 10]

      The TOVER is a participant-performance-based measure of expressive language function and verbal reasoning in response to questions about a series of stylized pictures showing identifiable scenarios. The 64-item test was specifically designed to assess language function in children and adults with down syndrome (DS) across a broad range of functional ability. The test used 23 multi-colored pictures to stimulate verbal responses to questions. The test was short (completed in 15 minutes) and fast-paced (2 to 4 questions per picture). Total score ranging from 0 to 64, was derived from 64 questions, where higher score indicates better functional ability.

    3. Mean Change From Baseline in Test of Verbal Expression and Reasoning (TOVER) Total Score at Week 10-LOCF [Baseline, Week 10]

      The TOVER is a participant-performance-based measure of expressive language function and verbal reasoning in response to questions about a series of stylized pictures showing identifiable scenarios. The 64-item test was specifically designed to assess language function in children and adults with DS across a broad range of functional ability. The test used 23 multi-colored pictures to stimulate verbal responses to questions. The test was short (completed in 15 minutes) and fast-paced (2 to 4 questions per picture). Total score ranging from 0 to 64, was derived from 64 questions, where higher score indicates better functional ability.
