View clinical trials related to Infantile Hemangioma.
Filter by:Infantile hemangioma is a benign tumor belonging to the group of vascular tumors in the ISSVA classification (International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies). The diagnosis is clinical and radiological. The hemangioma appears during the first weeks of life (70% classically within 2 weeks after birth) but can, when it develops in the subcutaneous tissue, appear until the age of 2 to 3 months . Its evolution is characteristic and is divided into 3 phases with a proliferative phase characterized by a rapid increase in the size of the tumor (up to 6 to 12 months), a phase of stabilization (from 12 to 36 months) with a stopping of the growth of the hemangioma and a regression of its size and a phase of involution with the disappearance of the lesion which may give way to residual fibroadipose tissue, cutaneous telangiectases, scars … The usual complications of haemangiomas occur during the proliferative phase. It is necrosis, ulcerations that can be complicated by bleeding or infection and eventually indelible scarring. Other complications related to the site of development of hemangiomas (amblyopia, astigmatism, upper respiratory obstruction, nasal obstruction, sphincter disorders, eating disorders), hemangiomas destroying structures noble (breast hypodévelopment, alopecia). The aesthetic prognosis can be seriously compromised for facial locations. Historically, when drug therapy was required, patient management was based on systemic corticosteroids (at doses of 3 to 5 mg / kg / day) in first-line therapy and vincristine as a second-line failure of corticosteroid therapy or when life-threatening is at stake. In 2014, the high French health authority (HAS) gave Marketing Authorization for Hemangiol 3.75 mg / ml oral solution for the management of infantile proliferative hemangioma requiring first-line systemic treatment, evaluating the actual benefit as important. The selected indication concerns children from 5 weeks to 5 months with: - Hemangiomas leading to a vital or functional risk, - Hemangiomas ulcerated painful and / or not responding to simple care, - Hemangiomas with a risk of permanent scarring or disfigurement. The 2014 HAS Transparency Commission wishes in its report "to have follow-up data of prescriptions allowing to describe on a representative sample of patients, the characteristics of the treated patients, the indication, the doses and the durations of treatment of this specialty ". The objective of our study is to describe the use of Hemangiol in current practice in our hospital from 2014 to 2018.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Timolol 0.25% and 0.5% doses.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of oral propranolol versus nadolol in patients with Infantile Hemangiomas (IH) in a randomized, controlled, double-blinded study.
The investigators hypothesize that there are differences between infantile hemangiomas (IH) during the proliferating and involuting phases and in response to medical treatment that can be detected by optical tomography of these hemangiomas.
There is an unsatisfied medical need for a first-line treatment of localized uncomplicated proliferating Infantile Hemangioma with a good benefit/risk profile. Pierre Fabre Dermatologie has developed a new formulation of propranolol (V0400 GL 01A) which is a topical gel adapted to paediatric use. The objective of this study is to evaluate topical propranolol efficacy and safety in the management of localized hemangioma.
Understudied drugs will be administered to children per standard of care as prescribed by their treating caregiver and only biological sample collection during the time of drug administration will be involved. A total of approximately 7000 children aged <21 years who are receiving these drugs for standard of care will be enrolled and will be followed for up a maximum of 90 days. The goal of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of understudied drugs for which specific dosing recommendations and safety data are lacking. The prescribing of drugs to children will not be part of this protocol. Taking advantage of procedures done as part of routine medical care (i.e. blood draws) this study will serve as a tool to better understand drug exposure in children receiving these drugs per standard of care. The data collected through this initiative will also provide valuable pharmacokinetic and dosing information of drugs in different pediatric age groups as well as special pediatric populations (i.e. obese).
There is an unsatisfied medical need for a first-line treatment of proliferating IHs with a good benefit/risk profile. Based on the recent findings of encouraging results obtained with propranolol in a series of infants with severe Infantile Hemangioma (IH), propranolol is expected to be of significant benefit in the management of the condition. The present study has been designed to confirm efficacy of propranolol in severe IH by demonstrating superiority over placebo and to document the safety profile of propranolol in this indication.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of Nadolol in hemangiomas of infancy. The secondary objective is to assess the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial comparing nadolol with corticosteroids and propranolol.
