What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events

    A treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Somavert in a participant who received Somavert. A treatment-related serious adverse event was a treatment-related adverse event resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Relatedness to Somavert was assessed by the physician.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events Unexpected From Japanese Package Insert

    A treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Somavert in a participant who received Somavert. Expectedness of the adverse event was determined according to the Japanese package insert. Relatedness to Somavert was assessed by the physician.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events by Gender

    A treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Somavert in a participant who received Somavert. Relatedness to Somavert was assessed by the physician. Participants with treatment-related adverse events were counted by gender to assess whether it was a risk factor for the occurrence of treatment-related adverse events.

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events by Age

    A treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Somavert in a participant who received Somavert. Relatedness to Somavert was assessed by the physician. Participants with treatment-related adverse events were counted by age to assess whether it was a risk factor for the occurrence of treatment-related adverse events.

    Measured: 5 years

  5. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events for Participants With Hepatic Function Disorder

    A treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Somavert in a participant who received Somavert. Relatedness to Somavert was assessed by the physician. Participants with treatment-related adverse events were counted by hepatic function disorder to assess whether it was a risk factor for the occurrence of treatment-related adverse events.

    Measured: 5 years

  6. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events for Participants With Renal Impairment

    A treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Somavert in a participant who received Somavert. Relatedness to Somavert was assessed by the physician. Participants with treatment-related adverse events were counted by renal impairment to assess whether it was a risk factor for the occurrence of treatment-related adverse events.

    Measured: 5 years

  7. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events for Participants With Diabetes Mellitus (Concurrent Disease)

    A treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Somavert in a participant who received Somavert. Relatedness to Somavert was assessed by the physician. Participants with treatment-related adverse events were counted by diabetes mellitus (concurrent disease) to assess whether it was a risk factor for the occurrence of treatment-related adverse events.

    Measured: 5 years

  8. Clinical Effectiveness Rate

    Clinical effectiveness rate, which was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved clinical effectiveness over the total number of assessable effectiveness analysis population, was presented. Clinical effectiveness of Somavert was assessed as "effective," "ineffective" or "unassessable" by the physician. Overall effectiveness of Somavert was determined by the physician based on clinical symptoms, laboratory values, and other examinations such as ring size.

    Measured: 5 years

  9. Clinical Effectiveness Rate by Gender

    Clinical effectiveness rate, which was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved clinical effectiveness over the total number of assessable effectiveness analysis population, was presented. Clinical effectiveness of Somavert was assessed as "effective," "ineffective" or "unassessable" by the physician. Overall effectiveness of Somavert was determined by the physician based on clinical symptoms, laboratory values, and other examinations such as ring size. Participants achieved clinical effectiveness by gender were counted to assess whether it contributes to the clinical effectiveness.

    Measured: 5 years

  10. Clinical Effectiveness Rate by Age

    Clinical effectiveness rate, which was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved clinical effectiveness over the total number of assessable effectiveness analysis population, was presented. Clinical effectiveness of Somavert was assessed as "effective," "ineffective" or "unassessable" by the physician. Overall effectiveness of Somavert was determined by the physician based on clinical symptoms, laboratory values, and other examinations such as ring size. Participants achieved clinical effectiveness by age were counted to assess whether it contributes to the clinical effectiveness.

    Measured: 5 years

  11. Clinical Effectiveness Rate in Participants With Hepatic Function Disorder

    Clinical effectiveness rate, which was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved clinical effectiveness over the total number of assessable effectiveness analysis population, was presented. Clinical effectiveness of Somavert was assessed as "effective," "ineffective" or "unassessable" by the physician. Overall effectiveness of Somavert was determined by the physician based on clinical symptoms, laboratory values, and other examinations such as ring size. Participants achieved clinical effectiveness by hepatic function disorder were counted to assess whether it contributes to the clinical effectiveness.

    Measured: 5 years

  12. Clinical Effectiveness Rate in Participants With Diabetes Mellitus (Concurrent Disease)

    Clinical effectiveness rate, which was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved clinical effectiveness over the total number of assessable effectiveness analysis population, was presented. Clinical effectiveness of Somavert was assessed as "effective," "ineffective" or "unassessable" by the physician. Overall effectiveness of Somavert was determined by the physician based on clinical symptoms, laboratory values, and other examinations such as ring size. Participants achieved clinical effectiveness by diabetes mellitus (concurrent disease) were counted to assess whether it contributes to the clinical effectiveness.

    Measured: 5 years

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.

How often is this information updated?
