Venous Malformations

Superficial venous malformations (SVMs) are rare congenital anomalies that present as bluish masses. These masses may be focal, with limited skin involvement, or segmental, with more extensive involvement. They may be associated with syndromic conditions such as blue rubber nevus syndrome. SVMs are characterised by a progressive worsening course, with repeated episodes of superficial venous thrombosis occurring. These episodes become more frequent over time, causing acute, intense and often highly debilitating pain. To limit progression and in cases of functional impairment, long-term treatments may be offered. These include venous compression, targeted therapies such as mTOR inhibitors, and, where possible, surgical treatment or sclerotherapy. However, the management of intra-SVM superficial venous thrombosis is not currently standardised, especially in the pediatric population. This study aims to evaluate the benefits of Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) as an add-on treatment to local non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for the management of thrombotic episodes in superficial venous malformations in children aged 6 to 17 years.

This clinical trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of microwave ablation in treating vascular malformations, including both venous malformations (VM) and arteriovenous malformations (AVM). Vascular malformations are abnormal clusters of blood vessels that can cause pain, swelling, and functional impairment, significantly affecting a patient's quality of life. Microwave ablation is a minimally invasive treatment that uses heat to shrink abnormal vessels, but its effectiveness and safety for these conditions need further investigation. The trial will enroll 150 patients (100 with venous malformations and 50 with arteriovenous malformations), all of whom will undergo a single session of microwave ablation. Ultrasound guidance will be used during the procedure to precisely target the lesions, while MRI will be used for both preoperative and postoperative evaluations to assess lesion size and track changes over time. The primary goals of the study are to determine whether microwave ablation can reduce lesion size and improve symptoms such as pain and swelling. Additionally, the study will monitor adverse events to evaluate the safety of the procedure, including any potential complications like infection, bleeding, or nerve injury. Patients will be followed for 12 months, with MRI scans taken at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the procedure to evaluate lesion shrinkage and monitor for any recurrence. Clinical symptoms will also be assessed at these time points to track improvement. This study could provide important data on the safety and efficacy of microwave ablation, potentially offering a less invasive treatment option for patients with vascular malformations.

This is a phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, adaptive, multicenter study planned to be conducted at multiple sites in North America, Canada, Taiwan and South Korea. The purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy and safety of KP-001 compared with placebo in patients aged ≥2 years with common VM, common LM, or KTS/CLOVES syndrome. An independent data monitoring committee (DMC) will be established to determine whether to discontinue or continue the study. It will also determine the redesign of the number of cases based on the result of the interim analysis. The study will comprise the following: * Screening Period: Up to 42 days prior to the first dose of study intervention. * Treatment Period 1: This is a double-blind period in which KP-001 100 mg (or lower dose depending on their body weight) or placebo will be administered to patients once daily after breakfast until Week 24. * Treatment Period 2: After 24 weeks of double blind treatment, all patients will switch to the KP-001 open label extension and treated up to Week 52. * Follow-up Visit: This visit will occur 30 days after the last dose of study intervention, and assessments will be performed per the SoA. * Discontinuation Visit: Patients who discontinue study intervention will be requested to continue participating in the study and assessments will be performed per the SoA. If the patients request to withdraw from the study, all tests and evaluations when possible will be performed at Discontinuation visit.

This clinical study evaluates the efficacy and accuracy of Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) and Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) for imaging and diagnosing vascular malformations (venous, arteriovenous, lymphatic). The study aims to enhance diagnostic precision and improve treatment planning through advanced non-invasive imaging techniques.
