Brief Summary:
There is an unsatisfied medical need for a first-line treatment of proliferating IHs with a good benefit/risk profile. Based on the recent findings of encouraging results obtained with propranolol in a series of infants with severe Infantile Hemangioma (IH), propranolol is expected to be of significant benefit in the management of the condition. The present study has been designed to confirm efficacy of propranolol in severe IH by demonstrating superiority over placebo and to document the safety profile of propranolol in this indication.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Infantile Hemangioma Drug: Propranolol Drug: Placebo Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Primary objective The primary objective of this study is to identify the appropriate dose and duration of propranolol treatment and demonstrate its superiority over placebo based on the complete/nearly complete resolution of target IH at W24.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Interim Analysis : Complete/Nearly Complete Resolution of the Target Infantile Hemangioma at Week 24 Compared to Baseline Based on the Intra-patient Blinded Centralized Independent Qualitative Assessments of Week 24 Photographs. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
  2. Primary Analysis : Complete/Nearly Complete Resolution of the Target Infantile Hemangioma at W24 Compared to Baseline Based on the Intra-patient Blinded Centralized Independent Qualitative Assessments of W24 Photographs. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Success/Failure Based on the Investigator Qualitative Assessment of Complete Resolution at W48. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Time to first sustained improvement based on centralized qualitative assessments of paired patient-visits

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Proliferating IH (target hemangioma) requiring systemic therapy anywhere on the body except on the diaper area with largest diameter of at least 1.5 cm

Exclusion Criteria:

- The patient presents with one or more of the following medical conditions: Congenital hemangioma; Kasabach-Merritt syndrome; bronchial asthma; bronchospasm; hypoglycaemia (< 40 mg/dl or at risk); untreated phaeochromocytoma; hypotension (< 50/30 mmHg); second or third degree heart block; cardiogenic shock; metabolic acidosis; bradycardia (< 80 bpm); severe peripheral arterial circulatory disturbances; Raynaud's phenomenon; sick sinus syndrome; uncontrolled heart failure or Prinzmetal's angina; documented PHACES syndrome with central nervous system involvement

  • The patient has previously been treated for IH, including any surgical and/or medical procedures (e.g. laser therapy)
  • The patient is known to have a hypersensitivity to propranolol and/or any other beta-blockers

  • One or more of the following types of IH are present:

    • Life-threatening IH
    • Function-threatening IH (e.g. those causing impairment of vision, respiratory compromise caused by airway lesions, etc.)
    • Ulcerated IH (whatever the localisation) with pain and lack of response to simple wound care measures
  • The patient was born prematurely and has not yet reached his/her term equivalent age (e.g. an infant born 2 months prematurely cannot be included before the age of 2 months)
  • LVEF (left ventricular systolic function) ≤40% and/or cardiomyopathy and/or hereditary arrhythmia disorder
