Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number of Dilation Procedures Number of dilation procedures for the management of dysphagia within 12 months following initial study treatment. 12 months
Secondary Number of Participants With Technical Stent Placement Success Technical stent placement success is defined as the ability to deploy the stent in satisfactory position across the stricture. 12 months
Secondary Number of Participants With Technical Stent Removal Success Technical stent removal success is defined as the ability to remove the stent without complications. 12 months
Secondary Patient's Satisfaction With the Therapy Patient's satisfaction with the therapy (scored by a visual analog scale) assessed at day 2, week 2, month 1, month 2, month 3, month 6, month 9, and month 12. Patient Satisfaction with Therapy scale ranges from 0-10. The minimum on this scale is 0 (0 being completely unsatisfied with the therapy; a worse outcome) and the maximum on this scale is 10 (10 being completely satisfied with the therapy; a better outcome). Day 2, Week 2, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, and Month 12
Secondary Patient's Report of Pain Patient's report of pain (scored by a visual analog scale) assessed at Baseline, day 2, week 2, month 1, month 2, month 3, month 6, month 9, and month 12. Pain Numerical Rating Scale ranges from 0-10. The minimum on this scale is 0 (0 being no pain; a better outcome) and the maximum on this scale is 10 (10 being worst pain ever; a worse outcome). Baseline, Day 2, Week 2, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, and Month 12
Secondary Quality Of Life Overall Health Score Quality of life scale measuring overall health score assessed at day 2, week 2, month 1, month 2, month 3, month 6, month 9, and month 12. The scale is numbered from 0 to 100. 0 is the worst health the participant can imagine. 100 is the best health the participant can imagine. A lower score indicates a worse outcome. A higher score indicates a better outcome. Day 2, Week 2, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, and Month 12
Secondary Occurrence and Severity of Adverse Events Related to the Stent/Bougie Dilator and/or the Procedure Occurrence and severity of adverse events related to the stent/bougie dilator and/or the procedure. 12 months
Secondary Time to Recurrence of Dysphagia Time to recurrence of dysphagia, defined as inability of a normal diameter gastroscope (9.8mm) to pass the stricture. 12 months
Secondary Total Number of Stent Migrations Total number of stent migrations with or without symptoms. 12 months
Secondary Number of Reinterventions Within 12 Months Following the Initial Study Treatment Number of reinterventions within 12 months following the initial study treatment. 12 months
