Study design details

• Main study objective:
  For Tracleer treated patients only: to document adherence to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) requirements (liver enzymes monitoring, pregnancy testing and contraception methods) and to describe the occurrence of specific safety (e.g. pregnancy and discontinuation reasons).For ALL patients: to describe DU disease history, baseline status and disease course.
• Outcomes:
  Proportion compliance to SmPC, occurrence of new DUs, and complications and interventions associated with DUs.
• Data analysis plan:
  Safety of Tracleer: cumulative event rates, Adherence to Tracleer SmPC requirements: Proportion of patients with contraception, pregnancy testing and LFT monitoring, DU disease history, patient entry characteristics and disease course: descriptive statistics by treatment group, time to event estimate.
