Trial Outcomes & Findings for Prostaglandin E1 in Outpatients With Intermittent Claudication (NCT NCT01263925)

NCT ID: NCT01263925

Last Updated: 2014-10-27

Results Overview

The ratio of pain-free walking distance was calculated by the pain-free walking distance after Period 2 divided by the pain-free walking distance at Baseline with determination of pain-free walking distances on the treadmill (12 % grade and 3 km/h). If a subject was not familiar with the treadmill, at least two test determinations were performed to accustom him/her to the treadmill. For all treadmill determinations the subject has been prevented from observing the treadmill display of the walking distance achieved.

Participant Flow

Of the 607 screened subjects, 561 have been randomized. Of these 561 randomized subjects, 541 are included in the Full Analysis Set (FAS). FAS includes all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of trial medication and who have at least one valid measurement of pain-free walking distance under therapy.

Participant Flow shows all randomized subjects. Baseline Characteristics refer to the FAS.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From Baseline to the end of 4 weeks of Interval Treatment (Period 2)

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS).

The ratio of pain-free walking distance was calculated by the pain-free walking distance after Period 2 divided by the pain-free walking distance at Baseline with determination of pain-free walking distances on the treadmill (12 % grade and 3 km/h). If a subject was not familiar with the treadmill, at least two test determinations were performed to accustom him/her to the treadmill. For all treadmill determinations the subject has been prevented from observing the treadmill display of the walking distance achieved.

1.39 meter/meter
Standard Deviation 0.87
1.42 meter/meter
Standard Deviation 0.80

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From the end of 4 weeks of Interval Treatment (Period 2) to the end of 6-months Follow-up (Period 3)

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS).

The ratio of maximum walking distance was calculated by the maximum walking distance after Period 3 divided by the maximum walking distance after Period 2 with determination of maximum walking distances on the treadmill (12 % grade and 3 km/h). If a subject was not familiar with the treadmill, at least two test determinations were performed to accustom him/her to the treadmill. For all treadmill determinations the subject has been prevented from observing the treadmill display of the walking distance achieved.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From Baseline to the end of 4 weeks of Daily Treatment (Period 1)

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS). For each subscale of the questionnaire, Mean and SD are presented for non-missing values.

Scores for subscales were calculated by summing non-missing item scores ranging from 1 (not at all; best possible outcome) to 4 (extremely; worst possible outcome) divided by the number of non-missing items. Hence each subscale score ranges from 1 (best possible outcome) to 4 (worst possible outcome). For subscales 'Mood' and 'Treatment expectation' five items each had to be reversed in order. Additionally, subjects were asked to assess their general health and quality of life on an ordinal scale between 0 (very good) and 10 (very poor). Negative changes show a decrease from Baseline.
