  27. Safety as Assessed by Adverse Events (AEs), Vital Signs, Laboratory Tests, Physical Examination and Electrocardiogram

    An abnormality identified during a medical test was defined as an AE if the abnormality induced clinical signs or symptoms, required active intervention, interruption or discontinuation of study drug or was clinically significant. The Investigator assessed each AE for causal relationship (not related, possible or probable) to study drug. A serious AE (SAE) was any untoward medical occurrence that: resulted in death, was life-threatening, resulted in significant disability/incapacity or congenital anomaly/birth defect, required or prolonged hospitalization or was a medically important event.

    The data reported represent the number of participants with adverse events in each category.

    Measured: From the first dose of double-blind study drug up until 30 days after the last dose of study drug, up to 13 months.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Oct 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With and Severity of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: From the first dose of double-blind study drug up until 30 days after the last dose of study drug, up to 13 months.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00688688, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
