Trial Outcomes

Change From Pre-dose in the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status at 4 Hours Post Dose

Four 10-item lists of unrelated words were presented orally to the examinee who was then required to immediately recall words presented, at both pre-dose and post-dose timepoints. The impact of drug was assessed by subtracting the number of words remembered post-dose from the number of words remembered pre-dose. Lower numbers indicate more words remembered post-dose; higher numbers indicate more words remembered pre-dose. (NCT02998151)
Timeframe: Pre-dose, 4-hour post dose

Interventionnumber of words remembered (Mean)
Placebo-.20
Acamprosate-1.47
Lovastatin-1.25
Minocycline-.69
Baclofen-.88

Change in EEG Relative Gamma Power

EEG relative gamma power at rest was calculated as the percent of power in the gamma frequencies relative to the sum of power in all frequency bands, averaged across electrodes, and calculated separately at pre-dose and post-dose timepoints. To assess the impact of drug, the pre-dose relative gamma power was subtracted from post-dose relative gamma power. Higher numbers indicate more relative gamma power post-dose; lower numbers indicate more relative gamma power pre-dose. (NCT02998151)
Timeframe: Pre-dose, 4-hour post-dose

Interventionpercent of power in gamma frequencies (Mean)
Placebo0.0024
Acamprosate-0.0077
Lovastatin-0.0039
Minocycline0.0019
Baclofen-0.0160

Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement

The Clinical Global Impressions - Improvement (CGI-I) requires the clinician to assess how much the patient's illness has changed relative to pre-dose, from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). (NCT02998151)
Timeframe: 4-hour post-dose

Interventionscore on a scale (Mean)
Placebo3.70
Acamprosate3.88
Lovastatin3.97
Minocycline3.81
Baclofen3.94

Test of Attentional Performance for Children (KiTAP) Test of Alertness

Computerized task where an examinee is required to push a key when a target stimulus is presented on the screen. Scores are presented as change in median reaction time (RT), in milliseconds. (NCT02998151)
Timeframe: Predose, 4-hour post-dose

Interventionchange in median RT in milliseconds (Mean)
Placebo13.76
Acamprosate-28.64
Lovastatin18.59
Minocycline26.85
Baclofen-31.44

Woodcock Johnson Test of Cognitive Abilities - Auditory Attention Task

Woodcock Johnson Test of Cognitive Abilities III Auditory Attention subscale. Participants must identify orally presented words amid increasingly intense background noise. The scores for this subtask range from 0-50, with higher scores indicating a better outcome. Raw scores for this subscale are reported (rather than standard scores, or age- or grade-equivalents). (NCT02998151)
