Study summary

A 4-8 week observational feasibility study of the use of the use of Tadalafil-Delivra in the treatment of Reynaud's Phenomena (RP).

Read the detailed description

To determine if the feasibility of conducting a future RCT using the chosen outcome assessments in RP patients at 2 Rheumatology clinics.

Study Design:

Observation of patients prescribed Tadalafil-Delivra 2% (Tad-Del) for the treatment of RP with defined feasibility objectives and data collection through efficacy and safety assessments. Study objectives are:

  • At least 70% recruitment of eligible participants.
  • 100% data collection from at least 70% of all enrolled subjects.
  • Estimate the standard deviation(s) of all outcome assessments.

Setting/Participants:

Patients prescribed Tad-Del will be screened for study enrollment at 2 participating rheumatology clinics by the local research team. Participants that meet all the eligibility criteria will be enrolled in the study as subjects. Subjects will self-administer the medication as prescribed and return to the clinic for follow-up. Data will be collected on outcome assessments at: baseline, 1 week and at 4 to 8 weeks of treatment.

Study population

Patients who have been prescribed Tad-Delivra for the treatment of primary or secondary Raynaud's Phenomenon with or without an active digital ulcer.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Adults of both genders, Age 18 to 75 years.
  2. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Raynaud's Phenomenon (RP).
  3. Written .
  4. The presence of 1 or more digital ulcers (DU), that is not related to calcinosis, anywhere on a finger that is symptomatic for RP- defined as a VAS pain score of ≥25mm of 100mm Or 1 -3 fingers that are symptomatic for RP under standard of care treatment (SoC). Symptomatic is defined as a VAS pain score of ≥ 25mm of 100mm.
  5. Prescribed, but not currently being treated with Tad-Del.
  6. Maintenance of a stable background of prescribed treatment for RP including vasodilators, orally administered PDE5i and pain medication. Changes to administration of this concomitant medication will be documented in the case report form (CRF).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Unwilling and/or incapable of adhering to the study procedures and follow-up schedule.
  2. Use of other prescribed topical treatment for RP, such as nitrates.
  3. Active infection of the index ulcer
  4. Calcinosis at the site of the index ulcer
  5. Received Iloprost or other prostacyclin treatment in the last 4 months.
  6. Unsuitable for study participation as determined by the clinical investigator.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. VAS-100 of DU & RP severity over the previous week assessed by patient & MD

    Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of the severity of Digital Ulcers (DU) and Raynaud's Phenomenon (RP). The physician (MD) and patient will each independently make their own assessment on a linear 10 cm VAS scale by making a mark on the line with a pen anywhere from the left anchor "0" (indicating no disease at all) to the right anchor "10" (indicating the most severe imaginable). Both the MD and patient will complete an individual scale for RP and DU. The distance of the mark from the left anchor "0" will be recorded in mm, divided by 10 and reported as a value from 0 to 10. A total of 4 VAS scales will be completed.

    Time frame: 28 days [this assessment has a window of an additional 28 days (Day 56) to be completed]

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in RP and DU interference in daily activities as measured by VAS-100 in SHAQ.

    Visual Analogue Scales for Raynaud's Phenomenon and Digital Ulcer interference in daily activities as measured by the patient. Both assessments are part of the Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SHAQ). The patient will make an assessment on the linear VAS scale for each by making a mark on the line with a pen anywhere from the left anchor "Does not limit activities" to the right anchor "Very Severe limitation". The distance of the mark from the left to the right anchor will be measured in mm, divided by 10 and reported as a value from 0 to 10. There are two scales: 1 for Raynaud's Phenomena and the other for Digital Ulcer.

    Time frame: 28 days [this assessment has a window of an additional 28 days (Day 56) to be completed]

  2. changes in the use of concurrent RP therapy and pain medications in patients treated with Tad-Del.

    Concomitant medication use at the end of treatment (day 28-56) will be compared with concomitant medication use at baseline with respect to daily dose administered.

    Time frame: 28 days [this assessment has a window of an additional 28 days (Day 56) to be completed]

  3. All adverse Event experienced by the patient during study participation (1st to last visit) will be recorded.

    Adverse events will be summarized and reported at the end of treatment.

    Time frame: 28 days [this assessment has a window of an additional 28 days (Day 56) to be completed]

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 20, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
