Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Women between 18 and 90 years, with lower limb telangiectasias or reticular veins treated in previous studies with polidocanol plus hypertonic glucose or hypertonic glucose.

Who may be able to join

  • All patients that concluded the participation of 60 days in both primary studies were invited to reevaluate the actual status of treatment (maintenance of treated vessels) and late complications (pigmentation and matting).

Who cannot join

  • Patients who did not agree to be reassessed;
  • Patients who were not found after all available forms of contact had been tried;
  • Patients who went through any kind of intervention on the area of interest in lower limbs between the end of the intervention and the reevaluation for long-term follow-up.

About this study

Official title: Long-term Follow-up of Sclerotherapy of Reticular Veins and Telangiectasias

A long-term follow-up cohort study of patients that were assigned in two previous studies to compare the clinical results of sclerotherapy of telangiectasias and reticular veins of lower limbs using 0.2% polidocanol diluted in 70% hypertonic glucose (PDHG) vs 75% hypertonic glucose (HG) alone.

All women, previously treated as aforementioned, were invited to be reevaluated regarding late maintenance and pigmentation over two years of follow-up.

No new treatments were applied to the cohort.

What is being measured

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

  1. Length of Telangiectasias in Centimeters

    Total length of telangiectasias at day 730 for comparison with day 60 and assessment of disease relapse.

    Measured: 730 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Length of Hyperchromia in Centimeters

    Total length of hyperchromic stains at day 730 for comparison with day 60 and assessment of reversion.

    Measured: 730 days

  2. Length of Matting in Centimeters

    Total length of matting neovascularization at day 730 for comparison with day 60 and assessment of reversion.

    Measured: 730 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Telangiectasis, run by UPECLIN HC FM Botucatu Unesp at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 18 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

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?

Length of Telangiectasias in Centimeters (time frame: 730 days). 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 18 Oct 2023.
