Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a gel containing sirolimus (PTX-022) on 15 people with visible venous malformations on the skin. The goal is to see if the gel is safe and can improve the appearance and symptoms of these abnormal veins. Participants apply the gel daily for 12 weeks, and doctors track changes and side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Sirolimus topical gel 3.9%
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-invasive topical treatment option for visible venous malformations on the skin.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 15 participants and no control group, so results may not be conclusive. Side effects from sirolimus gel are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: The participant must have a clinically confirmed superficial/ cutaneous (visible on the skin) venous malformation (cVM), referred to as the treatment area. The treatment area may contain a minority (\<30%) lymphatic component (mixed venous / lymphatic malformation). \- Exclusion Criteria: * The participant's treatment area is mainly in any wet mucosa or within the orbital rim. For clarification, no part of the venous malformation should be evaluated or treated if it in mucosa. External genital presentation is permitted. * The participant has a known pervasive extension of the lesion into mucosa, bone or tissue (as determined by diagnostic or the investigator) that would impair the ability of the investigator to evaluate the cutaneous components of the lesion.
