Study summary

This is a multi-center series assessment with a planned accrual of 70 patients with diagnosed symptomatic primary GSV insufficiency. Patients will be consented at a Pre-Study Visit and evaluated for eligibility and for baseline characteristics of the disease. Patients will receive treatment with Sonovein for the targeted segments of GSV. At follow-up visits at 7 days (1 to 10 days), 3 months (+/- 20 days), 6 months (+/- 25 days), and 12 months (+/- 30 days) changes in veins and flow characteristics will be evaluated by ultrasound, and patient well-being, including pain which will be evaluated by patient-reported VAS evaluations. Continued follow-up for a total of 12 months will be completed prior to subject study exit. Adverse events (AE) will be assessed at every study visit following HIFU treatment.

    • nerves \& bones
    • the surrounding vessels
  • Patient who may not be considered as good candidates for treatment by the investigator outside the explicit exclusion criteria above listed
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Interventions

  • DeviceSonovein Treatment

    The Sonovein System provides High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of soft tissue. The energy is delivered via an extra-corporeal treatment probe, which includes an imaging system. The high-energy ultrasound waves propagate through the skin and are focused on a portion of the target tissue, generating intense heat and causing local cell apoptosis and progressive tissue volume reduction over the following months in the tissue. The process is then repeated in a stepwise fashion.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Vein Occlusion Rate

    Percentage of limbs with occlusion of the treated vein (as measured by Duplex ultrasound)

    Time frame: 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Complications

    Number of limbs presenting complications and side effects resulting from the GSV intervention

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. Reflux-free Rate

    Percentage of limbs without reflux in the treated vein (as measured by Duplex ultrasound)

    Time frame: 12 months

  3. Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS)

    Assessment of venous disease (Scale 0-30: MIN=0 (least severe); MAX=30 (most severe))

    Time frame: 12 months

  4. Clinical-Etiology-Anatomy-Pathophysiology (CEAP)

    Clinical signs and symptoms of lower limb venous disease (Scale C0-C6: MIN: C0=no visible or palpable signs of venous disease; MAX: C6=active venous ulcer)

    Time frame: 12 months
