Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of EPI-743 in patients with Rett syndrome, on disease progression as assessed by the Rett Syndrome clinical Severity Score (RSSS);Secondary Objective: Efficacy.To evaluate the efficacy of EPI-743 in patients with Rett syndrome, on: 1.Head circumference 2.Behavior using Rett syndrome behavioral questionnaire 3.Health related quality of life as measured by the PedsQL 4.Disease biomarkers 5.EEG 6.Polysomnography Safety. To evaluate the safety of EPI-743 in patients with Rett syndrome by: absence of dose-limiting AE’s through 6 months, defined as any adverse event = grade 3, per CTCAE version 4.0, that is deemed related to treatment and not related to the underlying disease or the occurrence of any exclusion criteria including the following: 1.Allergy to EPI-743 or sesame oil 2.Liver Function tests greater than 3 times ULN 3.Renal insufficiency requiring dialysis;Primary end point(s): Change from baseline to end of treatment (Week 24, V6) in score of Rett Syndrome clinical Severity Scale (RSSS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At 12 weeks and at 24 weeks from baseline

Secondary
