Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change from baseline in SARA total score at 24 weeks of treatment period

The SARA is a scale that assesses cerebellar ataxia. An evaluator observes the subject's ability to perform motor activities across in 8 individual items: ("gait: 0-8 points," "stance: 0-6 points," "sitting: 0-4 points," "speech disturbance: 0-6 points," "finger chase: 0-4 points," "nose-finger test: 0-4 points," "fast alternating hand movements: 0-4 points," and "heel-shin slide: 0-4 points." The total SARA score ranges from 0 (no ataxia) to 40 (severe ataxia).

Time frame
Up to 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes

Change from baseline in SARA total score

The SARA is a scale that assesses cerebellar ataxia. An evaluator observes the subject's ability to perform motor activities across in 8 individual items: ("gait: 0-8 points," "stance: 0-6 points," "sitting: 0-4 points," "speech disturbance: 0-6 points," "finger chase: 0-4 points," "nose-finger test: 0-4 points," "fast alternating hand movements: 0-4 points," and "heel-shin slide: 0-4 points." The total SARA score ranges from 0 (no ataxia) to 40 (severe ataxia).

Time frame
Up to 24 weeks
2

Symptom Maintenance Ratio (Ratio of Improvement and Stability Cases) based on SARA total score

Subjects with the change in total SARA score from baseline of ≤ -1 point are defined as improved subjects, subjects with the change in total SARA score of \> -1 point and \< 1 point as unchanged subjects, and subjects with improvement and subjects with no change are defined as subjects maintaining symptoms.

Time frame
Up to 24 weeks
3

Change from baseline in SARA individual scores

The SARA is a scale that assesses cerebellar ataxia. An evaluator observes the subject's ability to perform motor activities across in 8 individual items: ("gait: 0-8 points," "stance: 0-6 points," "sitting: 0-4 points," "speech disturbance: 0-6 points," "finger chase: 0-4 points," "nose-finger test: 0-4 points," "fast alternating hand movements: 0-4 points," and "heel-shin slide: 0-4 points." The total SARA score ranges from 0 (no ataxia) to 40 (severe ataxia).

Time frame
Up to 24 weeks
4

Change from baseline in SF-8

SF-8 is a questionnaire that comprehensively measures health-related QOL. Subjects answer questions in the following 8 items on a scale of 5 or 6: physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. A higher score indicates better health in that item.

Time frame
Up to 24 weeks
