Decrease in Bulimia Symptoms

EDI-3 (Eating Disorder Inventory 3 Scale) is a pencil and paper test consisting of 91 items and 12 sub-scales. The main scales are the drive for thinness and the bulimia scales, the remaining sub-scales are: low self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, maturity fears, personal alienation, interpersonal alienation, interpersonal insecurity, perfectionism, interoceptive deficits, emotional dysregulation, and asceticism. The response options are based on a 6-point Likert-type scale are: Always, Usually, Often, Sometimes, Rarely, and Never. There are six composite scores, 12 primary scores, and three response style validity indicators. Software is used to calculate the raw scores, composite scores, validity scale scores and the T-scores. The t-score for the Bulimia scale will be used for this analysis with a range of 22-66. Higher scores indicate the likelihood of an eating disorder. A higher t-score on the bulimia scale indicates a worse outcome. (NCT02382848)

Change in Sleep From the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index From Baseline to Week 12

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index is a self-report questionnaire assessing sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month time interval. A global score is obtained by summing the seven component subscales (total score range: 0-21). A score of 5 or less indicates good sleep quality. A score of more than 5 indicates poor sleep quality. Change is measured from Baseline to Week 12. (NCT00202449)

Intensity of Suicidal Ideation

"Intensity of Suicidal Ideation was monitored over the course of the trial by the second section of the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (CSSRS). This section is only administered if the patient answers yes to the first section. The section consists of 5 questions that refer to the most severe level of ideation endorsed in the first section of the CSSRS. The total score ranges from 2 to 25, with a higher number indicating more intense ideation and greater risk.~Only lifetime intensity of suicidal ideation was explored as the patient had no suicidal ideation from the month prior to beginning the study to the completion of the study" (NCT01917318)

Change in Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) Part B and D

"The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) is a structured interview used to diagnose and assess PTSD. Part B of CAPS evaluates symptoms of re-experiencing. Part D evaluates avoidance and numbing.~CAPS-B scores range from 0 to 40 where higher scores indicate more symptoms. A score 0 means no re-experiencing symptoms.~CAPS-D scores range form 0 to 56 and higher scores indicate more symptoms. A score 0 means no avoidance or numbing symptoms.~The primary endpoint was changes in CAPS part B and D after 8 weeks of treatment." (NCT01917318)

ADCS-ADL-Severe

"The ADCS-ADL-Severe questionnaire is a secondary outcome measure aimed at detecting functional decline in people with severe AD. This scale is best suited for evaluating people with MMSE scores below 15/30, or equivalent. Questions are administered to a qualified caregiver informant about a set of 19 basic and instrumental ADL. Instrumental ADL are selected to be relevant to this level of severity of dementia, e.g., obtaining a beverage, turning lights on and off, turning a faucet on and off. Performance of each of these activities during the past 4 weeks, as well as the level of performance, are rated. A total score is derived by summing scores across items, and ranges from 0 (maximal impairment) to 54 (maximally independent function).~This outcome is the change from baseline to week 12."

ADCS-Clinical Global Impression of Change in Agitation (ADCS-CGIC-A)

"The ADCS-CGIC-A is the primary outcome measure. It will be anchored to disruptive agitation, the target behaviors in this study. It measures whether the effects of active treatment are substantial enough to be detected by a skilled and experienced clinician on the basis of a direct examination of the participant and an interview of the participant's primary caregiver and other LTC facility staff. The baseline assessment is qualitative therefore there is no score at baseline; post-baseline scores represent a change score compared to baseline.~The ADCS-CGIC-A is a 7-point scale that is structured as the clinician's assessment of change from baseline compared to the ADCS-CGIC-A Baseline Worksheet. There is no baseline score; post-baseline scores range from 1 (improvement) to 7 (worsening). A score of 1-2 indicates clinically meaningful improvement; a score of 3-5 indicates no clinically meaningful change; a score of 6-7 indicates clinically meaningful worsening." (NCT03710642)

Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI)/Neuropsychiatry Inventory-Nursing Home Version (NPI-NH)

"The NPI was designed to characterize the neuropsychiatric symptoms and psychopathology of patients with AD and other dementias residing in the community about which information was obtained from family caregivers. The content of the questions and their scoring in the NPI-NH are identical to those of the NPI except for some slight rephrasing to be consistent with the LTC environment where information is gathered from professional caregivers. Assessment of the impact of behavioral disturbances on family and professional caregivers, is assessed by a caregiver distress scale in the NPI and an occupational disruptiveness scale in the NPI-NH; scoring of this component remains identical. Minimum score is 0 and highest score is 144. A higher score means a worse outcome.~This outcome is the change from baseline to week 12." (NCT03710642)

Rescue Medication: Total mg Lorazepam Administered

Cumulative total dose of Lorazepam rescue medication administered during the trial. Information on the total mg rescue lorazepam administered will be collected as additional secondary outcome measures. If prazosin is more effective than placebo, it is predicted that participants randomized to prazosin will be prescribed lower cumulative mg of rescue lorazepam for management of persistent or worsening disruptive agitation.
