Key requirements

  • Ages 1 year to 3 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: This cohort study is a retrospective, single-center study based on a database established by the photodynamic therapy team at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University.We defined "young children" as children aged 1 to 3 years. This research encompassed young children who had undergone two or more sessions of Hemoporfin-PDT. Data on gender, age, medical history, type of PWS, lesion location, and post-treatment efficacy were collected following two rounds of Hemoporfin-PDT.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients clinically diagnosed with PWS (Port Wine Stain) who were between 1 and 3 years old at the time of their first HMME-PDT treatment.
  • Patients who, after evaluation by a clinician, are deemed eligible for HMME-PDT treatment and whose guardians have signed an informed consent form.
  • Patients who have undergone two or more HMME-PDT treatments.
  • ④ Patients with complete basic information and treatment-related information.

Who cannot join

  • Exclusion of patients with a history of treatments for PWS other than PDL treatment.
  • Patients with other vascular malformations. ④ Exclusion of patients who have received any other PWS treatment within 2 months prior to HMME-PDT treatment.

About this study

This retrospective study investigated the influence of prior pulse dye laser (PDL) treatment on the effectiveness of Hemoporfin-PDT in young children aged 1-3 years with PWS.

The study population included patients without a history of PDL treatment and patients with a history of PDL treatment.

Read the detailed description

Background Hemoporfin-mediated photodynamic therapy (Hemoporfin-PDT) is considered a safe and effective treatment for port-wine stains (PWS). This study aims to investigate the influence of prior pulse dye laser (PDL) treatments history on the effectiveness of Hemoporfin-PDT in young children aged 1-3 years with PWS.

Methods Data was gathered for individuals with PWS aged 1-3 years who received two or more Hemoporfin-PDT treatments. The study population was stratified into two groups: Cohort 1 (No PDL) comprised patients without a history of PDL treatment, while Cohort 2 (Prior PDL) consisted of patients with a history of PDL treatment. An analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between treatment efficacy and variables including gender, age, location, and type of PWS.

Receives: Combination Product: HMME-PDT; Device: PDL

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of lesions regression

    Two independent blinded assessors assessed treatment efficacy by comparing before and after treatment photos of patients receiving Hemoporfin-PDT for reducing redness. The final outcome was determined as the average of these two assessments. Efficacy was assessed using standard quartiles: Excellent (76-100 %); Good (51-75 %); Fair (26-50 %); Poor (0-25 %).

    Measured: The efficacy evaluation will be conducted 3 months after the completion of the 2nd HMME-PDT treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Port-Wine Stain, run by Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University at 1 site in China.

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 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2025. 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 China. 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?

The rate of lesions regression (time frame: The efficacy evaluation will be conducted 3 months after the completion of the 2nd HMME-PDT treatment.). 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 13 Mar 2025.
