What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Global improvement on a five point scale

    The degree of improvement was evaluated according to change of severity of each symptom at the time of enrollment (baseline) and in Week 12 after initiation of dosing (or at discontinuation)

    Measured: week 12

  2. Number of patients with adverse drug reactions

    Measured: up to week 12

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Improvement per symptom on a five point scale

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Change in circumference measurements of calf in centimetres

    Measured: baseline, 12 weeks

  3. Change in circumference measurements of ankle in centimetres

    Measured: baseline, 12 weeks

  4. Subject's impression on improvement on a five point scale

    Measured: baseline, 12 weeks

  5. Number of patients with of adverse events

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing BNS003 in people with Venous Insufficiency, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Global improvement on a five point scale (time frame: week 12). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Aug 2014.
