About this study

Official title: Treatment of Greater Saphenous Vein (GSV) Insufficiency Using Echo-Guided Sclerotherapy With Lauromacrogol 400 Foam -Comparative Study of 3% Versus 1% Concentration.

To evaluate the efficacy and the tolerance of echoguided sclerotherapy using Lauromacrogol 400 foam for the treatment of Great Saphenous Vein (GSV) insufficiency. A comparative study of 3% versus 1% Lauromacrogol 400 foam.

Read the detailed description

A multicenter randomized double blind study to evaluate the efficacy and the tolerance of echoguided sclerotherapy using 3% versus 1% Lauromacrogol 400 foam in the treatment of Great Saphenous Vein (GSV) insufficiency.

One hundred fifty eligible patients will be recruited during 6 months from 9 study centers with a follow up period of 3 years and 7 visits at day 8, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1,2 ,and 3 years.

After randomization, the patients will be treated by echoguided sclerotherapy with 1% or 3% Lauromacrogol 400 foam (ratio 1:1).

Monitoring is performed by doppler at 8 days, 6 weeks, 6 months , 1,2 ,and 3 years.

Effectiveness of sclerotherapy is determined at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. A additional injection of 4 ml of foam can be performed if needed.

Severity clinical score and Quality-of-life questionnaire are performed at 6 months ,1 ,2, and 3 years.

The absence of obliteration with a reflux of crural great saphenous vein at 6 months will be a criterion of therapeutic failure.

The therapeutic success or failure criteria are evaluated by a non investigator angiologist for 5 patients randomized from each investigational site at 1, 2 and 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing lauromacrogol in people with Venous Insufficiency and Saphenous Vein, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 8 inclusion and 11 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 6 Jul 2006. 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 France. 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.

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?

Removal of truncular GSV incompetence evaluated at 6 months by echo doppler: no persistence of "sus gonal" saphenous reflux > 1 second.. 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 NCT00348764, which also lists 5 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 6 Jul 2006; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 3 Nov 2026.
