Clinical Trial Summary

The study is aimed at evaluating the efficacy and tolerability of systemic pharmacotherapy as a part of combination treatment, and its influence on the overall treatment outcomes in patients with skin changes (CEAP class C4a and C4b).


Description:

Primary goal: To study the efficacy of systemic pharmacotherapy as part of combination therapy and its impact on the: - thickness of the skin-fat fold (ultrasound examination); - change in the venous clinical severity score (VCSS); - change in the CEAP clinical class of CVD; - evolution of CVD symptoms characteristic for CEAP class C4 (sensations of skin tightening, burning, itching, pain, and exudation) using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Secondary goals: 1. To study the efficacy of systemic pharmacotherapy as part of combination therapy and its impact on the: - area of affected skin determined by curvimetry technique (only in selected centers that use this technique routinely) before and after the treatment in patients with skin changes of CEAP class C4a or C4b in real clinical practice; - skin density determined by durometry technique (only in selected centers that use this technique routinely). 2. To evaluate the changes in the quality of life using the CIVIQ-14 questionnaire (global index score [GIS]) . 3. To study the tolerability of systemic pharmacotherapy as part of combination therapy in patients with skin changes of CEAP class C4a or C4b.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The Mean Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Thickness Changes (mm) Between the Visit 3 and Baseline by Ultrasound Examination. Ultrasound examination was used to get:
Thickness of the thickness of the skin-fat fold at the affected skin area;
Presence of reflux or occlusion (with an indication of the terrotiry).
Measurements should be taken in the afternoon at about the same time, at visits V0 and V3.
The data are recorded only for the limb with the most severe changes.
Measurements are taken at the site of skin changes. Unit of Measure - mm

Secondary The Mean Changes VCSS for Pain (Four-point Scale (From 0 to 3)) Between the Visit 3 and Baseline by Ultrasound Examination. Change in the VCSS Scale Was used four-point scale the Venous Clinical Severity Score(VCSS ). It uses a number of clinical signs, which are assigned a point equivalent depending on their severity (pain, varicose veins, edema, hyperpigmentation, inflammation, induration, the number of ulcers, the presence of active ulcers, the use of compression therapy). The sum of points reflects the severity of the pathology: the more points, the more severe the course of chronic venous disease. Changing the amount of points over time allows you to assess the degree of disease progression or the effectiveness of treatment measures. 6 months

Secondary The Mean CVD Symptoms Characteristic Changes Between the Visit 3 and Baseline Evaluated by Means of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). -Skin Tightening Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is designed to measure symptom's intensity. It is a continuous scale in the form of a horizontal or vertical line 10 cm (100 mm) long with two extreme points located on it: "no symptom " and "the strongest symptom you can imagine."
Visual analogue scale technique:
The patient is asked to place a line perpendicularly crossing the visual analogue scale at the point that corresponds to his symptom intensity. The ruler measures the distance (mm) between "no symptom" and "the worst symptom imaginable," providing a score range of 0 to 100. A higher score indicates more pain intensity.

Secondary The Mean Changes of Global Index CIVIQ-14 Score (GIS) Between the Visit 3 and Baseline Evaluated CIVIQ-14 - Chronic Venous Insufficiency Questionnaire (CIVIQ-14) is a specific questionnaire for venous disease. It was used to evaluate the changes in the quality of life (global index score - GIS) There are 14 questions in the CIVIQ-14, each with 5 possible answers (1 to 5), the minimum possible score being 14 and the maximum 70. 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 (70-14=56), multiplied by 100.
GIS = ([Final score - minimal possible score] / [Theoretical maximal - minimal score]) x 100 GIS = ([Final score - minimal possible score] / 56) x 100 GIS = ([Final score - 14] / 56) x 100 The least GIS corresponds with the best quality of life, the largest GIS corresponds with the worst.

Secondary The Mean Lesion Area Changes Between the Visit 3 and Baseline Evaluated by Curvimetry Technique This technique was used in only in Selected Centers That Use This Technique Routinely:
technique is measured length of the border of modified skin, using a measuring device called a curvimetr.
The quality of treatment is assessed by comparing data on Visit 0 and Visit 3 Measurements are carried out 2 times on Visit 0 and Visit 3 (before and after the treatment) in patients with skin changes of CEAP class C4a or C4b A decrease in the figure value (in centimeters) on Visit 3 vs baseline means a good treatment result.

Secondary The Mean Changes of the Skin Density Determined by Durometry Technique Between the Visit 3 and Baseline Evaluated. Shore Hardness scales is a scale for measuring the hardness of different materials.Total score has a range from 0 (the softest material) to 100 scores (the hardest material). Measurement was performed by Shore durometer (a device for measuring the hardness of a material). The method and scale were proposed by Albert F. Shore.
This technique was used in only in Selected Centers That Use This Technique Routinely:
technique: repeated measures to compare the scores before and after the treatment.
Shore hardness is one of the methods for measuring the hardness of materials. In medicine, it is used to determine the density of the skin. In this study, the method was used to determine the density of the skin in the area of skin lesions in patients with CVD stage C4 (CEAP)
