Trial Outcomes

Barthel Index (Change From Baseline)

The Barthel Index is a measure of activities of daily living (ADL) and assesses the degree of disability in a particular participant. The index records indicators of independence in terms of the disability caused by impairments, such as those that may be sequelae of stroke. The index was used as a record of what the participant did, not as a record of what the participant could do. Barthel scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater independence in daily living activities (caring for oneself). (NCT00122980)
Timeframe: Baseline and study exit after up to 30-month treatment period (due to study termination)

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)

Liver Iron Content (LIC) Change-from-baseline

LIC change-from-baseline is the second component of the composite primary endpoint. LIC was measured by quantitative liver biopsy at baseline and at 30 months or exit from the study.LIC values were transformed into Log10 values prior to computing the change from baseline. (NCT00122980)
Timeframe: Because the study was terminated early, time frame is from beginning of treatment until end of treatment (up to 30 Months)

Woodcock-Johnson Test of Cognitive Abilities (WJ-C) and Achievement (WJ-III) (Change From Baseline)- Verbal Ability

This test is designed to assess both broad and narrow cognitive abilities in children age 4 years and above as well as to measure major aspects of academic achievement in persons aged 2-90 years. Higher scores mean better abilities/achievements. Scaled scores range from 0-100. (NCT00122980)
Timeframe: Baseline and study exit after up to 30-month treatment period (due to study termination)

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Hydroxyurea/Phlebotomy1.829
Transfusion/Chelation-2.487

Occurrence of an Adjudicated Secondary Stroke During the 30-month Treatment Period

Secondary stroke is the first component of the composite primary endpoint and considers the number of participants with recurrent secondary stroke events during 30 months of treatment. Stroke was defined as any clinical event with brain injury due to vascular disease. All neurological events underwent formal stroke adjudication. (NCT00122980)
Timeframe: Because the study was terminated early, time frame is from beginning of treatment until end of treatment (up to 30 Months)

Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) - Child Report (Change From Baseline)

The PedsQLTM Measurement Model is a modular approach to measuring health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in healthy children and adolescents and those with acute and chronic health conditions. It has a Likert 5-points scale (never to almost always) which were transformed to a 0 to 100 scale based on the PedsQL scoring algorithms, higher scores indicating better quality of life characteristics.
