Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The goal of the study is to compare the number of necessary interventions required to stop radiation proctitis inducing rectal bleeding in patients receiving Daflon® in comparison to patients in the control group receiving Placebo within 12 months of medical treatment.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the impact of Daflon® on patients’ QoL, hemoglobin level and coagulation parameters, calprotectin, cytokines and histological alterations. Furthermore, we want to assess if different types of radiation (organ focus, Gray) or grades of incontinence have an impact on the primary endpoint.;Primary end point(s): number of necessary interventions within 1 year;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 360 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - QoL (EORTC QLQ PRT20) - serum hemoglobin level and coagulation parameters of patients - calprotectin stool level - presence of histological alterations (distortion of crypts, - inflammation of crypts, fibrosis and ectasia of vessels, cytokines) - if available (biopsy not mandatory) - type of radiation (organ focus, Gray) - St. Mark’s Incontinence Score - Safety parameters within groups: -differences in outcomes regarding their age and sex;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 30, 90, 180,360 | — |
