Novel Treatment for Port Wine Stain Birthmarks
A Phase 1 study testing Talaporfin sodium in people with Port-Wine Stain, run by University of California, Irvine at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Port wine stains Birthmark are congenital, progressive vascular malformations of the skin that occur in approximately 0.7% of newborns. Approximately 1.5 million individuals in the United States and 32 million people worldwide have Port wine stains birthmarks. Two-thirds of these malformations occur on the face.

About this study
Port wine stains Birthmark are congenital, progressive vascular malformations of the skin that occur in approximately 0.7% of newborns. Approximately 1.5 million individuals in the United States and 32 million people worldwide have Port wine stains birthmarks. Two-thirds of these malformations occur on the face. Personality development of virtually all patients is adversely affected as a result of the negative reaction of others to a "marked" person. Detailed studies have documented lower self-esteem and difficulties with interpersonal interactions in Port wine stains patients. Port wine stains are initially flat and red, but with time, they tend to darken to purple and become thickened as vascular nodules develop. This thickening occurs in approximately two-thirds of lesions and further disfigures the facial features of many patients.
Read the detailed description
Pulsed dye laser is currently the standard of care treatment for Port wine stains. Researchers at University of California Irvine at Beckman Laser Institute Medical Clinic can use Photodynamic therapy, another treatment option for Port wine stains. Photodynamic therapy involves light activation of a photosensitizer (a drug that is responsive to light or radiant energy). Because the photosensitizer can be localized to a desired portion of the Port wine stain, Photodynamic therapy creates an opportunity for targeted destruction of Port wine stains.
Researchers will use a photosensitizer medication called Talaporfin sodium, an intravenously administered investigational photosensitizer, being evaluated for multiple clinical indications. Photodynamic therapy with talaporfin sodium has been investigated for many different conditions, and can be used for treatment for Port wine stains. Photosensitivity precaution instructions will be provided, including appropriate photo protective clothing, protective hat and sunglasses that wrap around the temples to help minimize lateral sun light exposure when traveling home following discharge from the study site.
For efficacy, evaluated study variable will be Port wine stain blanching, and the researchers can use diffuse reflectance imaging chromametry, Laser Speckle Imaging and Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging to measure the change of Port wine stain blanching. The maximum power of the Laser Speckle Imaging and Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging light source is 10-50 mW, which is comparable to halogen-bulb household flashlights. Efficacy will be evaluated based on comparison of pre-treatment visit and post treatment day 1, week 1, week 4, and week 12 measurements.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Talaporfin sodium in people with Port-Wine Stain, run by University of California, Irvine 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 2 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 1 Nov 2022. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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?
Port wine stain blanching (time frame: up to 12 weeks). 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 1 Nov 2022.
