Change in ICARS

"International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS):~ICARS consists of a one-hundred-point semi-quantitative scale based upon 19 simple testing manoeuvres compartmentalized into postural and stance disorders, limb ataxia, dysarthria and oculomotor disorders and has been previously used in this patient population with good inter-rater reliability.~A total score of 0 points represents the best possible score, and a value of 100 points is the worst possible score. Therefore, a negative change in ICARS score represents an improvement. A higher score also indicates more disability." (NCT00697073)

FARS (Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale)

FARS consists of a 25 manoeuvre exam along with 4 quantitative performance measures. The neurological exam covers bulbar function, upper limb coordination, lower limb coordination, peripheral nervous system function, deep tendon reflexes, stability and gait. The use of FARS has been recently validated as a sensitive scale for this population. The FARS consists of three subscales, comprising a general score for ataxia, a score for activities of daily living (ADL) and a neurological examination. The scores can be added to make a total score ranging from 0 to 159. A higher score indicates a greater level of disability. (NCT00697073)

"Categorical time-to-event endpoints (EDSS-plus) were analyzed using Cox Proportional hazards models, with treatment group as a covariate. The EDSS-plus event was defined as disability progression on at least 1 of 3 components [EDSS, 25FW, and/or non-dominant hand 9HPT]) confirmed 6 months apart and with a ≥ 20% minimum threshold change for 25FW and non-dominant hand 9HPT).~The patients who did not have an event during the study were censored at the time of the last assessment of EDSS-plus. The number of months from the date of first dose to date of event or censoring were used as endpoint. The measure is time to disease progression and unit of this measure is months." (NCT00950248)
