Study to Demonstrate the Efficacy and Safety of Propranolol Oral Solution in Infants With Proliferating Infantile Hemangiomas Requiring Systemic Therapy

November 12, 2015 updated by: Pierre Fabre Dermatology

A Randomised, Controlled, Multidose, Multicentre, Adaptive Phase II/III Study in Infants With Proliferating Infantile Hemangiomas (IHs) Requiring Systemic Therapy to Compare 4 Regimens of Propranolol (1 or 3 mg/kg/Day for 3 or 6 Months) to Placebo (Double Blind).

There is an unsatisfied medical need for a first-line treatment of proliferating IHs with a good benefit/risk profile. Based on the recent findings of encouraging results obtained with propranolol in a series of infants with severe Infantile Hemangioma (IH), propranolol is expected to be of significant benefit in the management of the condition. The present study has been designed to confirm efficacy of propranolol in severe IH by demonstrating superiority over placebo and to document the safety profile of propranolol in this indication.
