PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 to first confirmed occurrence of MACE (up to 6 years)

Population: The trial was prematurely terminated. Due to the short trial duration and as a result of very limited participant follow-up, insufficient data was collected (or did not exist) to allow for a statistical analysis as described in the protocol. The necessary and sufficient data to conduct the primary and secondary analyses was not available.

MACE are defined as cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and nonfatal stroke.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 to first confirmed occurrence of extended MACE (up to 6 years)

Population: The trial was prematurely terminated. Due to the short trial duration and as a result of very limited participant follow-up, insufficient data was collected (or did not exist) to allow for a statistical analysis as described in the protocol. The necessary and sufficient data to conduct the primary and secondary analyses was not available.

Extended MACE defined as cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, and unstable angina requiring hospitalization.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 to the occurrence of all-cause death (up to 6 years)

Population: The trial was prematurely terminated. Due to the short trial duration and as a result of very limited participant follow-up, insufficient data was collected (or did not exist) to allow for a statistical analysis as described in the protocol. The necessary and sufficient data to conduct the primary and secondary analyses was not available.
