Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Cystine stone recurrence | The primary efficacy endpoint will be assessed in two ways:
symptomatic stone recurrences, defined as renal colic, stone passage, or surgical removal of a stone; silent stone recurrences, classified as stone growth or new stones, diagnosed on the basis of renal ultrasound, plain KUB x-ray, or if clinically indicated, computed tomography. |
3 years | |
Secondary | Urinary cystine level | The secondary endpoints will be quantitative urinary cystine level determined by 24-hour urine collection. | 3 years |
