Propranolol Versus Prednisolone for Treatment of Symptomatic Hemangiomas
Propranolol vs Prednisolone for Infant Hemangiomas-A Clinical and Molecular Study
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Infants with symptomatic hemangiomas will be enrolled. Magnetic resonance imaging will be completed before starting medication if the extent of the hemangioma is not evident on clinical examination alone. Infants will be randomized to receive either propranolol or steroids for 4-6 months. Hemangioma response will be measured and compared monthly as will tolerability of the medications. Additionally, urine specimens will be collected at each visit to determine if markers are present that can predict response to therapy.
Additionally, any hemangiomas that are excised will be examined for genetic markers to aid in predicting response to therapy.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Decrease in Size of Hemangioma (Length x Width) in Square mm
Time Frame: 4-5 months after initiating therapy
|
A priori primary outcome was proportional change in the total surface area as measured by lesion's outer margin length x width at baseline minus the same measure at 4 months with surrogate data used at 5 months if 4 months not available.
|
4-5 months after initiating therapy
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Tolerability of Medication
Time Frame: enrollment until study close out or withdrawal up to 9 months
|
All adverse events relating to medication tolerability including: adrenal crisis, growth/development, constitutional (dehydration), allergy/immunology, dermatologic, endocrine, GI, infection, metabolism/labs, pulmonary, vascular.
|
enrollment until study close out or withdrawal up to 9 months
|
Number of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: enrollment until study close out or withdrawal up to 9 months
|
Number of serious adverse events experienced by the participants in each treatment arm within the categories adrenal crisis, growth/development, constitutional.
Serious adverse events are defined as events that result in death, require either inpatient hospitalization or the prolongation of hospitalization, are life-threatening, result in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or result in a congenital anomaly/birth defect.
Other important medical events, based upon appropriate medical judgment, may also be considered Serious Adverse Events if a trial participant's health is at risk and intervention is required to prevent an outcome mentioned.
