Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Background: Trofinetide is approved for the treatment of Rett syndrome (RTT) in patients aged ≥2 years. Here, we present the benefits and tolerability of trofinetide in the treatment of RTT with the 12-month follow-up of LOTUS. Methods: Caregivers of patients who are prescribed trofinetide under routine clinical care are eligible to participate. Assessments include the Behavioral Improvement Questionnaire (BIQ), the Quality-of-Life Inventory-Disability (QI-Disability) Questionnaire, and the Gastrointestinal Health Questionnaire. Due to ongoing enrollment, data are reported to 9 months since the initiation of trofinetide. Results: In total, 192 patients were included. The median dose reported at week 1 was 45.0% of the target weight-banded label dose; by week 9 onwards, the median dose was at least 80.0% of the target weight-banded label dose. Behavioral improvements reported with the BIQ were nonverbal communication (49–62%), alertness (43–62%), and social interaction/connectedness (32–52%). The QI-Disability Questionnaire median total scores indicated overall improvement in quality of life (QoL) with trofinetide. Caregivers reported that patients were most likely to void normal stools over the follow-up; most reports of diarrhea were contained inside the patient’s diaper. Conclusions: Caregivers of patients with RTT in LOTUS reported behavioral improvements of RTT symptoms and improvement in patients’ QoL.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
