Trial Outcomes & Findings for Non-Invasive Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Clinical Trial (NCT NCT01756833)
NCT ID: NCT01756833
Last Updated: 2021-11-26
Results Overview
Diameters were ranked from smallest to largest. Worse ranks were assigned to surviving patients who underwent aneurysm repair (in order of longest to shortest time from randomization to repair), and worst ranks were assigned to patients who died (in order likewise). Each rank was converted to a z-score corresponding to the value on the standard normal curve of its percentile. The primary analysis was based on linear regression of the change in z-scores from baseline to 2 years. Independent variables were baseline z-score, sex, and a dichotomous variable for the randomly assigned treatment group (0 for placebo, 1 for doxycycline). Missing values were multiply imputed. Higher score corresponds to less favorable outcome. There is no scale associated with these z-scores; the absolute z-scores have no biological meaning or clinically relevant threshold. A z-score of 0 corresponds to the median rank. The maximum and minimum z-scores are +2.41 and -2.41. See References in Protocol Section.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline and two years from randomization (when patients were late in returning for visits, their data were used up to three years).Population: The number of participants refers to the number for whom CT scans were available.
Diameters were ranked from smallest to largest. Worse ranks were assigned to surviving patients who underwent aneurysm repair (in order of longest to shortest time from randomization to repair), and worst ranks were assigned to patients who died (in order likewise). Each rank was converted to a z-score corresponding to the value on the standard normal curve of its percentile. The primary analysis was based on linear regression of the change in z-scores from baseline to 2 years. Independent variables were baseline z-score, sex, and a dichotomous variable for the randomly assigned treatment group (0 for placebo, 1 for doxycycline). Missing values were multiply imputed. Higher score corresponds to less favorable outcome. There is no scale associated with these z-scores; the absolute z-scores have no biological meaning or clinically relevant threshold. A z-score of 0 corresponds to the median rank. The maximum and minimum z-scores are +2.41 and -2.41. See References in Protocol Section.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Six months, one year, and two years (when patients were late in returning for visits their data were used up to three years).Population: All patients for whom any follow-up CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis were obtained.
Secondary outcomes will derive from central, Imaging Core Laboratory analyses of the CT scans performed every six months on patients and from the clinical follow-up of randomized patients, from clinical observation, local laboratory findings, study visit quality of life assessments, and from biomarker analyses to be performed in the Biomarkers Core Laboratory (e.g., changes from initial matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-9) levels, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-9) levels at 24 months). When patients were late in returning for visits their data were used up to three years.
