E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary patency rate after 6 months (=Visit 3) is considered to be the primary endpoint. The primary patency rate is defined as the percentage of patients with primary treatment success, i.e. without the occurrence of either i) occlusion of at least a part of the stent segment or ii.) a re-intervention to maintain patency of the treated segment.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1. Primary patency rate after 3 months (= Visit 2). 2. Secondary patency rate after 3 and 6 months (= Visit 2 & 3): Secondary patency rate is defined as the percentage of patients with primary treatment success and without the occurrence of occlusion of at least a part of the stent , irrespective of any re-intervention. 3. Primary sustained clinical success after 3 and 6 months (=Visit 2 & 3): Primary sustained clinical success, defined as the absence of post-thrombotic syndrome (Villalta score 0-4 points) without the need for re-intervention assessed at the latest routine follow-up visit (at the latest available follow-up). 4. Incidence of patients with open stents but >50% residual stenosis according Duplex criteria. 5. Difference of limb circumference of the affected leg in comparison to the contralateral leg at 3 and 6 months (=Visit 2 & 3), respectively, compared to baseline (for patients with only one affected leg) 6. Quality of life using the CIVIQ-20 (chronic venous insufficiency quality of life questionnaire) at 3 and 6 months (=Visit 2 & 3) compared to baseline. 7. Villalta score with and without “ulcus cruris assessment” at 3 and 6 months (= Visit 2 & 3), respectively, compared to baseline 8. Revised venous clinical severity score (rVCSS), at 3 and 6 months (= Visit 2 & 3), respectively, compared to baseline 9. Investigator's and patient's global judgement on efficacy after 6 months of treatment 10. Incidences of adverse events / adverse reactions with a special focus on bleedings (major, clinical relevant nonāmajor bleeding and minor according to ISTH classification) and death (VTE-related, bleeding-related, other). 11.
