The Effect of Somatropin Treatment in Adult Patients on Chronic Dialysis (OPPORTUNITY)

• Mortality - Time to All-cause Death [ Time Frame: week 0, trial termination ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  Time to all-cause death. Statistical analysis is based on all available information from week 0 to trial termination. Summary data illustrates percentage (%) participants dead estimated using Kaplan-Meier. Summary data illustrates mortality until 52 weeks, because very few subjects had trial time longer than 52 weeks. Due to early trial termination, median trial time was 17.4 weeks.
  
  

• Morbidity - Time From Randomisation to Next Cardiovascular Event (Defined as Composite of All-cause Mortality, Non-fatal Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, Cardiac Insufficiency and Other Thrombo-embolic Event) [ Time Frame: week 0, trial termination ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  Morbidity - time from week 0 to next cardiovascular event (composite of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events defined as adjudicated medical event of special interest and categorised as myocardial infarctions, cardiac insufficiencies, strokes or other thrombo-embolic events). Statistical analysis is based on all available information from week 0 to trial termination. Summary data illustrates percentage (%) participants with events estimated using Kaplan-Meier. Summary data illustrates morbidity until 52 weeks, because very few subjects had trial time longer than 52 weeks.
  
  
• Morbidity - Number of Hospitalisations, in Addition to Normal Dialysis Procedures [ Time Frame: week 0, trial termination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  The number of times that the patient was hospitalised in addition to hospitalisation for normal dialysis procedures measured from week 0 (randomisation) to the time the trial was terminated.
  
  
• Mortality - Two-year Mortality Rate [ Time Frame: week 0, trial termination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  
• Health Related Quality of Life Assessments [ Time Frame: week 0, trial termination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  Summary from activity of daily living from the Rotterdam Symptom Checklist (RSCL) measuring activity from 1 (active) to 5 (inactive). The Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS), subjects assess their health in the last 24 hours on a scale from 1 (good health) to 3 (feeling poorly). The EQ-5D is a measure of subjects' health outcome from 0 (death) to 1 (full health). SF-36 (Short Form (36)) covering mental and physicial health is provided in a scale from 0-100 with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction.
  
  

The decision to discontinue the trial is not due to safety concerns. The discontinuation is based on an analysis of the significant delay in recruitment of patients which is expected to have a negative impact on the outcome of the trial.
