Study summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical application of tacrolimus at different concentrations for superficial Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) and tufted angioma (TA).

Read the detailed description

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) and tufted angiomas (TA) are rare vascular tumors, which are apparent predominantly in infancy or early childhood. Currently, no standard treatment regimens exist for KHE/TA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical application of tacrolimus at different concentrations for superficial Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) and tufted angioma (TA).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. reduction in the size of the lesion

    Therapeutic effect is evaluated by reduction in the size of the tumor measured by centimeters.

    Time frame: 2.5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rate of Adverse events

    using the measurement of ratio to evaluate the rate of adverse events of topical application of tacrolimus (such as ratio of Acne vulgaris, pruritis and rash etc.).

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 May 7, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
