E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Adherence defined as percentage of patients applying at least aimed daily dose
Prescribed daily dose is defined as: planned number of applications per day (1) * surface (measured) * aimed amount per application (mg/cm²)
Truly applicated daily dose will be evaluated as individual mean amount per dose * individual mean number of applications per day.
Adherence will be assumed, if • truly applicated daily dose is at least 75% of prescribed daily dose and • the individual mean number of applications per day is at least 0,85
