Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The purpose of the study was to confirm efficacy and safety of Flebaven 1000 mg once daily on: - reduction of leg pain, - reduction the feeling of heavy legs, - reduction of swelling of the legs and - improving the quality of life.
    Protection of trial subjects
    There were three visits for each patient - first or screening visit and two control visits. Second visit was after 4 weeks of treatment and third visit was after 12 weeks of treatment. On second and third visit the researchers assessed efficacy of the treatment by assessing the symptoms on a numerical scale (leg pain, feeling of heavy legs, the extend of swelling of the legs) and the clinical global indicator of disease severity (CGI-S) and the clinical global indicator of disease improvement (CGI-I ). At the beginning and the end of the clinical trial, patients assessed their quality of life with the SF-20 questionnaire. To monitor safety, the researchers recorded adverse events at both control visits.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    In general, patients aged 20 to 70 years with a diagnosis of primary Chronic Venous Disease (CVD) were eligible for inclusion in the trial.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Clinical trial was performed on adult patients aged 20 to 70 years with a diagnosis of primary CVD and leg pain rated 4 or more on a numeric scale, which corresponds to at least moderate pain intensity. In CT were included patients who were classified according to CEAP into clinical classes C0s to C4s on the most affected leg and who signed an ICF.

    End point title
    Percentage of patients with a reduction of leg pain ≥30 % or pain not more than 3 on NS [1]
    End point description
    The primary endpoint of the clinical trial was to determine the percentage of patients in whom leg pain decreased by ≥ 30 % (estimated according to numeric scale) or the percentage of patients whose assessment of pain according to NS did not exceed number 3 (assessed at baseline, after 4 weeks and after 12 weeks). The percentage of patients who achieved primary endpoint after 4 weeks of treatment was 52.0 %, and after 12 weeks 85.4 %.
    End point type
    Primary
    End point timeframe
    Timeframe was the whole duration of the study (from the day the first patient entered (26.6.2018) to the day the last patient concluded the study (8.7.2019)). Timeframe for one patient was 12 weeks.
    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: Statistical analysis could not be entered because the interface insisted on selecting at least two arms. Due to a large sample, an asymptotic z-test was used to determine the statistically significant difference between the averages of two measurements in the same population, and an asymptotic 95% confidence interval was used for interval estimates of the mean.

    Arithmetic mean of assessed leg pain at baseline, after 4 and after 12 weeks
    End point description
    The severity of leg pain decreased statistically significantly after 4 and 12 weeks of treatment (p <0.001). Wilcoxon’s Signed rank test was used to determine the statistically significant differences between the averages of two measurements in the same population because the dependent variables do not have a normal distribution. The arithmetic mean of leg pain intensity assessed on a numeric scale from 0 to 10 was 5,897. After 4 weeks of treatment, the assessed leg pain intensity was 3,850, and after 12 weeks of treatment, 2,323.
