Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function Using Trails B at Month 24
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 24
Trail B test is a set of shifting task, in which participants were asked to drawn a line from number 1 to letter A, then to number 2, then to letter B, then to number 3, then to letter C then so forth until they connected the circles as quickly as possible, without lifting pen or pencil from the paper. Participant was timed (maximum time limit was 300 seconds or 5 minutes) to connect the "trail." If the participant made an error, and it was pointed out immediately, the participant was allowed to correct it. Errors affected the participant's score only in that the correction of errors was included in the completion time for the task. A higher number of errors was indicative of a higher cognitive deficit. Raw results were the number of seconds required to complete the task; therefore, higher scores reveal greater impairment. Raw results based on age norms were transformed to Z-scores. Z-score = actual value minus normative value divided by standard deviation.

Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function Using Metacognition Index From Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) at Month 36
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 36
BRIEF has 86-items to measure the neurocognitive performance for 8 subscales: inhibit, shift, emotional control, initiate, working memory, plan-organize, organization of materials and monitor. These are subsumed in 2 broad factors: a behavior regulation index consisted inhibit, shift, and emotional control subscales, a metacognition index consisted working memory, initiate, plan/organize, organization of materials, and task-monitor scale. Each item had a 3-point scale (1= never, 2= sometimes, 3= often). Z-score was based on mean raw score for T-score= 50 and SD = +/- 10. (actual value raw score at T=50)/SD (mean SD where T=40,60), based on age and gender norms from BRIEF professional manual. T-score provided information of individual's scores relative to scores of respondents in the standardization sample. Lower Z- scores indicated better functioning.

Raw BMI measurements were norm-adjusted transformed to Z-score using formula: Z-score = actual value minus normative value divided by standard deviation based on CDC norms for age and gender.
Number of Participants With Tanner Staging Evaluation at Month 3: All Males
Time Frame: Month 3
Tanner stage defines physical measurements of development based on external primary and secondary sex characteristics. The physical changes for males in pubertal development (pubic hair, penis and testes) were assessed. Participants were evaluated for genital development, with values ranging from stage 1 (pre-pubertal characteristics) to stage 5 (adult or mature characteristics).
Number of Participants With Tanner Staging Evaluation at Month 36: All Males
Time Frame: Month 36
Tanner stage defines physical measurements of development based on external primary and secondary sex characteristics.
