简要总结
This is a Phase III clinical trial to compare the efficacy of two dosages of a new infant rehabilitation protocol - I-ACQUIRE - to usual and customary forms of infant rehabilitation in infants who experienced Perinatal Arterial Stroke (PAS).
详细描述
The proposed study is a Phase III trial powered to determine efficacy of two different doses of I-ACQUIRE for children 8 to 36 months old with PAS and hemiparesis. The design is a prospective Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) in which 216 children will be randomly assigned to one of 3 treatment groups (N=80 per group): 1) Moderate Dose I-ACQUIRE (3 hrs/day, 5 day/wk X 4 wks), 2) High Dose I-ACQUIRE (6hrs/day, 5 days/wk X 4 wks), or 3) Usual and Customary Treatment (U&CT). I-ACQUIRE will be delivered by protocol-trained therapists and monitored weekly for dosage and treatment fidelity; U&CT will be provided by community therapists with dosage and approaches documented weekly. All primary and secondary efficacy outcomes rely on blinded assessments at baseline, end of treatment, and 6 mos post-treatment. Exploratory outcomes and supplemental clinical measures may provide valuable additional data about development and health in this sample of children with PAS.

结局指标
主要结局
Changes in Emerging Behaviors Scale (EBS) Score
时间窗: Both immediately after treatment (within 7 days) and 6 months (plus or minus 2 months) post-treatment
The primary efficacy is measured by the Emerging Behaviors Scale (EBS) that counts the number of upper extremity skills on the hemiparetic side that the child displays (from 0 to 30). The source for observation comes from a battery of standardized age-appropriate neuromotor assessment tools (Gross Motor Function Measure-66, The Bayley III Fine and Gross Motor scales, unilateral skills during the Mini AHA) and independent observational coding of the videotaped assessment session with supplemental parent ratings on the Infant Motor Activity Log and daily skills on the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory. A favorable outcome is defined as a gain of ≥7 new EBS skills above the child's baseline (pre-treatment) score. The EBS requires evidence of each skill from at least two independent sources.
次要结局
- Changes in Bilateral Use of the Hemiparetic Upper Extermity based on the Mini-Assisting Hand Assessment (Mini-AHA) play assessment(Both immediately after treatment (within 7 days) and 6 months (plus or minus 2 months) post-treatment)
