Registered outcomes3

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange During Darusentan Treatment in the Markovian Homogeneity Number, a Value That Quantitates Myocardial Perfusion Heterogeneity0, 2, 4, and 6 weeks
Markovian homogeneity analysis characterizes an image produced by a PET scan by examining the probability that a pixel with a given intensity will have a neighbor with a different intensity. The homogeneity index ranges from \>0 to 1, where a value near 0 represents an image with a high probability that neighboring pixels have intensity values that differ greatly, and a value near 1 represents an image with a high probability that neighboring pixels have similar intensity values.
SecondaryChange During Darusentan Treatment in Absolute Flow at Rest and Hyperemia0, 2, 4, and 6 weeks
SecondaryChange During Darusentan Treatment in the Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR)0, 2, 4, and 6 weeksCFR is calculated as the unitless ratio between hyperemic to resting flow

PRIMARYChange During Darusentan Treatment in the Markovian Homogeneity Number, a Value That Quantitates Myocardial Perfusion Heterogeneity0, 2, 4, and 6 weeks
Statistical analysis is exploratory, therefore not easily planned. A paired t-test with 40 subjects will provide approximately 89% power to test the null hypothesis of no change in the homogeneity number versus a two-sided alternative at alpha= 5%,if the true mean change is 0.15,e.g.,a homogeneity index of 0.5 at baseline and 0.65 after darusentan.
