CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Therapy, Efficacy
To evaluate the efficacy of per os acetylsalicylic acid versus placebo, in addition to a local non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, on the pain associated with superficial venous thrombosis in children with superficial venous malformations
Secondary objectives 6
- Assessing the efficacy of per os acetylsalicylic acid in reducing painkiller consumption
- Impact on the child's quality of life
- Assessing the tolerability of oral acetylsalicylic acid in addition to a local non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug
- To evaluate the impact of experimental and control treatments on coagulation markers during attacks of superficial venous thrombosis in superficial venous malformations
- Evaluate the efficacy of oral acetylsalicylic acid on sleep quality
- Evaluate the efficacy of oral acetylsalicylic acid on functional impotence related to malformation

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Participant selection A screening will be conducted to identify patients with superficial venous malformation confirmed by imaging with the presence of phleboliths, who have had at least two episodes of superficial vascular thrombosis in the previous 12 months and who meet the eligibility criteria.

Not Applicable | None | ||
| 2 | Recruitment (inclusion) and randomisation Patients will then be recruited during outpatient consultations in dermatology, interventional radiology, surgery, or, above all, during multidisciplinary consultations dedicated to vascular malformations. Verbal information will be provided, and written information will be given again. The investigator will inform patients/parents of their rights regarding research involving human subjects that does not fall within the scope of routine care. He will obtain the signature of both parents (or legal guardians) on the consent form, as well as the child's assent. Children will be included and randomized for the order of treatment administration (crossover).

Randomised Controlled | Double | [{"id":166635,"code":2,"name":"Investigator"},{"id":166634,"code":1,"name":"Subject"}] | Arm 1 - Aspirine + gel, then Placebo + gel: Randomization will determine the order in which treatments are administered. In this first scenario, the patient will receive aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) + gel during his first episode, then a placebo + gel during his second episode. Arm 2 - Placebo + gel, then Aspirine + gel: Randomization will determine the order in which treatments are administered. In this second scenario, the patient will receive a placebo + gel during his first episode, then aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) + gel during his second episode. |
| 3 | Follow-up assessments and visit 2 study visits are planed : the first one after the first episode of TVS (D15 to D30) and the second one after the second episode.
During the study, parents will be contacted once a month by the coordinating research nurse at each center to reinforce adherence to the protocol and ensure that the study is running smoothly.
Each patient will be included a priori for up to two epidoes (flare-ups), for a maximum period of 24 months (but which may be much shorter). If the two TVS flare-ups occur within the first 12 months, the patient will be offered the option of continuing the study for the next two flare-ups (four in total, maximum), in order to increase the power of the study, or of ending the study. If the study is scheduled to continue for two new flare-ups, the third and fourth follow-up consultations will take place in the same way.
If the patient has not had any TVS episode, or has had only one episode, an end-of-study visit will be conducted to collect data from the patient diary and treatment records. This visit will take place during a routine follow-up visit for these patients.

Endpoints
Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)
Primary endpoints 1
- Evaluation of the efficacy on pain of acetylsalicylic acid + local NSAID versus placebo + local NSAID, administered for a period of 3 days to 14 days
Secondary endpoints 6
- Cumulative consumption of tier 1 and 2 analgesics (indirect reflection of treatment efficacy) over 14 days
- Impact on the child's quality of life (by measuring the C-DLQI - Children-Quality of Life Index and the CLFMQol - specific Quality Of Life measurement tool for Children with Low-Flow Malformations) at baseline, and after each attack
- Safety: number of serious and non-serious adverse events in each group
- Comparison of the impact of experimental treatment and control treatment on coagulation markers during attacks of superficial venous thrombosis in superficial venous malformations, by measuring : CBC, PT, APTT, plasma fibrinogen and D-dimers
- Impact of the malformation on sleep quality (Fast Score SLEEP VASC) measured once a day for 14 days
- Functional impairment related to the malformation will be assessed daily using a VAS (visual analog scale, ranging from 0 to 10) (0 no discomfort, 10 maximum discomfort, inability to move a limb or body segment) at baseline and after each follow-up.
