- Modified Ashworth Spasticity Scale [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Change from baseline in the Modified Ashworth spasticity scale.
- INAD Progression Composite [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Change from baseline in an INAD composite score to assess the overall treatment effect on the most progressive aspects of the disease
- Progression Free Survival Time [ Time Frame: All available data ]Progression free survival time (mortality or pneumonia)
- Modified Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy Rating Scale (mINAD-RS24) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Change in score from baseline derived from a structured pediatric neurological development exam tailored for INAD, involving elements of activities of daily living and vital functions.
- Modified Parental Rating Scale (mPRS22) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Change in score from baseline from a parental rating scale tailored for INAD, involving elements of activities of daily living and vital functions
- Original Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy Rating Scale (INAD-RS40) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Change in score from baseline derived from a structured pediatric neurological development exam tailored for INAD, involving elements of activities of daily living and vital functions.
- Original Parental Rating Scale (mPRS33) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Change in score from baseline from a parental rating scale tailored for INAD, involving elements of activities of daily living and vital functions
- Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events will be presented by severity and relationship to study drug.
