Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline in SARA total score at 24 weeks of treatment period

    The SARA is a scale that assesses cerebellar ataxia. An evaluator observes the subject's ability to perform motor activities across in 8 individual items: ("gait: 0-8 points," "stance: 0-6 points," "sitting: 0-4 points," "speech disturbance: 0-6 points," "finger chase: 0-4 points," "nose-finger test: 0-4 points," "fast alternating hand movements: 0-4 points," and "heel-shin slide: 0-4 points." The total SARA score ranges from 0 (no ataxia) to 40 (severe ataxia).

    Up to 24 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Change from baseline in SARA total score

    Up to 24 weeks

  • Symptom Maintenance Ratio (Ratio of Improvement and Stability Cases) based on SARA total score

    Up to 24 weeks

  • Change from baseline in SARA individual scores

    Up to 24 weeks

  • Change from baseline in SF-8

    Up to 24 weeks
