Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change in Patient-reported Symptoms of Varicose Veins (VVSymQ Score)
Week 8

The 9 varicose vein symptoms were to be assessed and graded on a 6-point (i.e., 0-5) duration scale and an 11-point (i.e., 0-10) intensity scale, and the patient's level of activity for that day was to be assessed and graded on the 6-point (i.e., 0-5) duration scale. The 9 varicose vein symptoms assessed using the e-diary were derived from the first question of the modified Venous Insufficiency Epidemiologic and Economic Study-Quality of Life/Symptoms (VEINES-QOL/Sym) instrument. The VVSymQ is a subset of 5 VEINESQOL/ Sym items that have been determined in earlier studies to be most important to patients (heaviness, achiness, swelling, throbbing, and itching). The daily VVSymQ score is the sum of the duration scores for these 5 symptoms (scores range from 0 to 25, with the lower end of the range being an indicator of less symptom intensity, and the higher end being an indicator of higher intensity). At Visit 2/baseline, Week 8, scores were calculated
