About this study
Official title: Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy of µSmin® Plus (Dietary Supplement) in Chronic Venous Insufficiency Symptoms Relief
This study evaluates treatment with the dietary supplement µSmin® Plus in a group of patients suffering from chronic venous insufficiency in comparison with a similarly-sized group of patients receiving placebo evaluated by quality of life questionnaires, VAS pain scale, CVI symptomatology, and change in the circumference of the affected leg at calf level
Read the detailed description
In this study we use a dietary supplement - µSmin® Plus - for symptomatic treatment of CVI and we will monitor its impact on CVI symptoms, features, and consequences (item) of the disease listed below: limb edema, walking, daily tasks performance, pain/burning symptoms, pruritus/paresthesis, sensation of heaviness/fatigue, time wasted in the management of the disease, social burden, disease impact on self-confidence, and its impact on physical exercise/recreational activities. Results of related clinical trials were published before showing that this is an active field in clinical reasearch.
- Conditions
- Chronic Venous Disease
- Being tested

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
µSmin® PlusDietary supplement
µSmin® Plus is a new Micronized Diosmin Formulation for oral administration. Diosmin is extremely well tolerated and safe to use. Diosmin is safe for most people when used short-term for up to 6 months. During the 8 weeks of the clinical investigation, the subject will administer 1 tablet of µSMIN® Plus (corresponding to 450 mg of micronized diosmin) or placebo per day.
PlaceboOther
It will be supplied by the Sponsor in an amount enough for the duration of the study. The subject will administer 1 tablet per day

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Quality of life assessed
Quality of life is assessed by ChronIc Venous Insuficiency quality of life Questionnaire ( CIVIQ-20 questionnaire ). The 20-item questionnaire, provides a global index and an outline of 4 quality-of-life dimensions-"pain" (4 items), "physical" (4 items), "psychological" (9 items), and "social" (3 items). Items on the CIVIQ-20 scale were scored from 1 to 5. There are 20 questions in the CIVIQ-20, each with 5 possible answers (1 to 5), the minimum possible score being 20 and the maximum 100. In order to calculate the GIS, the difference between the final score and the minimum possible score is to be divided by the difference between the theoretical maximum and minimum scores (100-20=80), multiplied by 100. A low score will correspond to greater patient comfort.
Measured: 56 days
Change in the circumference of each affected leg
To evaluate the efficacy of the dietary supplement µSmin® Plus on ameliorating the symptoms of Chronic Venous Insufficiency in terms of change in the circumference of affected legs and quality of life, in comparison with placebo, from baseline to week 8 visit; The unit for this measurement is centimeter.
Measured: 56 days
Secondary outcomes (9)
Visual Analogue Scale ( VAS scale ) from 0 to 10 for pain measurements
Visual Analogue Scale is a straight horizontal line of 100 mm. The ends are defined as the extreme limits of the pain (symptom, pain, health) orientated from the left (worst) to the right (best). Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance in millimeters on the 10 centimeters line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity and a low score indicates a low pain intensity.
Measured: 56 days
Symptoms relief assessed by Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) questionnaire
Venous Clinical Severity Score use the progressive ranking of severity, while weighting the upper levels representing the more severe presentations of Chronical Venous Disease. The lowest possible score is 0=absent meaning that the patient has no symptoms and the highest possible score is 30=sever meaning that the patient has a very severe venous symptoms.
Measured: 56 days
Investigator Global Assessment of the efficacy by scoresproduct
Efficacy of treatment: Percentage of physicians who rated 1= excellent, 2 = good, 3= fair, 4= poor
Measured: 56 days
Patient Global Assessment of the efficacy by scores
Patients satisfaction: 1= very satisfied, 2= satisfied, 3 = adequate, 4= unsatisfied, 5 = very unsatisfied
Measured: 56 days
Percentage of subjects who would want to continue with µSmin® Plus.
By this outcome we want to find out the percentage of patients who will want to continue with µSmin® Plus.
Measured: 56 days
Percentage of subjects who experienced symptoms relief
Percentage of subjects who experienced symptoms relief within the first week of intake, within 2 weeks of intake, or more than 2 weeks of intake;
Measured: 56 days
Treatment compliance
Variable medication possession ratio (VMPR) will be used to calculate the compliance (or adherence) to the treatment in the two groups collected by diary card and used and unused products
Measured: 56 days
AE/SAE incidence
Evaluation of safety during all the study period through AE/SAE collection
Measured: 56 days
Investigator Global Assessment of Safety (IGAS):
Investigator Global Assessment of Safety (IGAS): using the 4-point scale:1= very good safety, 2 = good safety, 3 = moderate safety and 4 = poor safety. IGAS will be evaluated at the last visit.
Measured: 56 days

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?
Quality of life assessed (time frame: 56 days). 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04101201, which also lists 20 linked publications.
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 25 Jun 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
