Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Patients will be evaluated for vascular changes by measuring 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure, baroreflex sensitivity, nail fold capillary microscopy and arterial compliance measurement at 3 time points: before start of treatment, and after 3 and after 6 weeks of treatment. Patients will also be asked to measure their blood pressure at home twice a day, for 6 weeks. Metabolic and hormonal changes and investigation of biomarkers will be done by blood and urine analyses every 3 weeks for the first 3 months, every 6 weeks up to 6 months and every 3 months thereafter, and by skin autofluorescence before treatment and after 3 and after 6 weeks of treatment. Changes in vascular, hormonal and metabolic status will be related to clinical side effects and to response to treatment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| When clinically relevant differences in side effects and response to treatment are found among patients treated with the same agent, DNA analysis will be carried out to investigate if changes in candidate genes are related to these differences. | — |
