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 4 weeks to 5 months
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Study population: Children with hemangiomas and children without hemangiomas will be enrolled from Hemangioma and Vascular Malformation Clinic and Ambulatory Pediatric Clinics.

Who may be able to join

  • Children with hemangioma
  • Age ≤ 5 months
  • Doppler ultrasound confirmed diagnosis of hemangioma to rule out presence of vascular malformation
  • Age matched control ≤ 5 months (no hemangioma)

Who cannot join

  • Hemangioma treated prior to or during study period with laser, steroids, interferon, or propranolol, or any other drug or device intended to inhibit the growth of the hemangioma
  • Known history of sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, or other hemoglobinopathy
  • Hemangioma presented as fully formed at birth consistent with rapidly involuting or non-involuting congenital hemangioma
  • PHACES syndrome- posterior fossa malformations, hemangioma, arterial anomalies, cardiac anomalies, eye abnormalities, sternal anomalies
  • Parent/guardian unable to speak english to provide informed consent and no interpreter is present

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Longitudinal Study to Identify Biomarkers in Children With Hemangiomas.

Current treatment options for hemangiomas, such as propranolol, steroids and interferon, all have the potential for significantly harmful side effects. The purpose of this study is to identify potential biomarkers that can be used to design clinical trials and accelerate the delivery of new treatment alternatives to children with hemangiomas.

Read the detailed description

Urine will be collected from children with hemangiomas and age-matched healthy controls at 2,4,6,9,12,18 and 24 months of age. Children with hemangiomas will also have ultrasound examination performed at each visit.

Study groups in NCT01598116
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HemangiomaIdentify biomarkers in children with hemangiomas.
Receives: Procedure: Urine collection and ultrasonography
Without HemangiomaAge-matched controlled group without hemangioma.
Receives: Procedure: Urine collection

What is being measured

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

  1. Chemically modified DNA

    Determine whether changes in urinary 8-OHdG can be used as biomarkers for HE growth and involution.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Blood flow velocity

    Obtain Doppler ultrasound measurements of HE blood flow velocity and size on the same days as serum and urine specimen collection to determine whether changes in blood flow velocity and size correlate with changes in 8-OHdG production.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemangioma, run by Gayle Gordillo at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 14 Dec 2021. 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 United States. 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?

Chemically modified DNA (time frame: 6 months). 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 14 Dec 2021.
