Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To measure the extent of the effect of oral Sulodexide compared with placebo in reducing the intensity of leg symptoms associated with chronic venous disease.;Secondary Objective: The secondary efficacy endpoints of the study will include: • A measure of patient-related outcome using the Visual Analogical Scale (VAS) for the overall health state, to be recorded at Baseline and at the Final Visit; • A measure of quality of life, using the questionnaire CIVIQ-14, to be recorded at Baseline and at the Final Visit. The Safety endpoints will include: • Recording of all adverse events according to the standard procedures; • Recording of vital signs (systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate seated at rest) at Baseline, Intermediate Visit and Final Visit. ;Primary end point(s): The primary study endpoint is the change from baseline in leg symptoms intensity at the end of treatment. The primary measure is therefore the symptom intensity scoring, which will record – separately in the right and left leg - the intensity of the most common among the symptoms listed in the SYM Vein Consensus statement: pain/aching, heaviness, feeling of swelling, cramps, itching and fatigue. Each symptom in both legs will be scored with a 7-step scale: 0=absent; 1=barely perceptible, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=important, 5=severe, 6=unbearable. The total composite score, which may range 0 to 72, will be calculated and will represent the primary measure of the primary study endpoint. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 60 days from baseline | — |
