E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy criterion is the evolution of target IH from baseline to W24. The binary primary endpoint (improvement versus stabilisation/worsening) is based on four intra-patient blinded centralised independent qualitative assessments of photographs of the target IH at W12, W16, W20 and W24 compared to baseline, W12, W16 and W20, respectively. A treatment success will be defined as a centralised assessment of improvement between at least one pair of visits (W12, W16, W20 or W24 compared to baseline, W12, W16 and W20, respectively) without any assessments of worsening between the paired visits. A treatment failure will be defined as a centralised assessment of worsening between at least one pair of visits (W12, W16, W20 or W24 compared to baseline, W12, W16 or W20, respectively) or a stabilisation between all paired visits. The treatment failure definition will ensure that a worsening of IH between W12 and W24 can be detected even if the IH is in an improved state at W24 compared to baseline. Photographs of the target IH at each visit will be taken by the site investigators based on standardised procedures (see Appendix 17.4). A colour chart will be included in each photograph for colour and size calibration. Photographs will be uploaded to the eCRF for the study and the system will group them by patient-visit. A unique random number will be assigned to each group (photographs of the same patient at different visits will not have the same or consecutive numbers). The groups of photographs will be paired by patient-visits (baseline, W12, W16 and W20 paired with W12, W16, W20 and W24, respectively) and colour calibrated intra-pair (Haeghen et al. 2006) for centralised assessment. Combined image evaluation sessions will be carried out by two blinded independent readers (different to the IDMC members) on batches of paired groups of photographs presented in random order (i.e. the W16 versus W20 comparison for one patient may be followed by the W12 versus W16 comparison for another patient). The batches will be presented separately to each reader. For each combined image evaluation, the paired groups of photographs will be placed side by side in random order so that the group of photographs to the left will not necessarily represent the earlier visit. The independent readers will be asked to evaluate whether they consider that the target IH is in a better, stable or worse state in the photographs on the right compared to the photographs on the left. The only information that will be made available to the readers to identify paired groups of photographs under evaluation will be the two unique random numbers assigned to the two groups in each pair. In the case of a discrepancy between two independent assessments for a pair of patient-visits, the assessors will be asked to reassess the pair and reach a consensus. The latter will be considered as final for the primary endpoint. |
