Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in brain vital signs

    Obtained by EEG recording of N100, P300, N400 amplitudes and latencies. Increased amplitudes are indicative of larger signals and increased latencies are indicative of slower responses.

    Baseline, Postseason (approximately 6 months)

  • Change in blood biomarker

    Neurofilament light chain (NfL) blood serum levels.

    Baseline, Postseason (approximately 6 months)
