Brief Summary

Clinical non-inferiority study between Diosmin 600 mg tablets and Diosmin 900 mg + Hesperidin 100 mg tablets in symptomatic chronic venous insufficiency after 6 months of treatment. Prospective, single-blind, randomized study in parallel groups (total patient population 120, 60 subjects per treatment group), with a total of 4 clinical assessment at months 0, 2, 4, and 6 of treatment.

Detailed Description

The primary study objective is to demonstrate the clinical non inferiority of efficacy between Diosmin 600 mg tablets versus combination Diosmin 900 mg + Hesperidin 100 mg tablets in improving lower limb symptoms assessed by a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS) over 6 months among adult patients presenting chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs.

The secondary study objectives are to compare between Diosmin 600 mg tablets and combination Diosmin 900 mg + Hesperidin 100 mg tablets in terms of:

* The oral acceptability,

* The tolerability,

* The global patient's satisfaction,

* The global physician's satisfaction.

Clinical assessments will take place at the study center during the study visits at M0, M2, M4 and M6 including:

* Efficacy on venous symptoms : The VAS of 100 mm is rated by the patient from "0" = Absence of venous symptoms up to "100" = Maximal intensity of the venous symptoms. The VAS is completed by the patient at the investigator's office. This VAS globally assesses the venous symptomatology of the most symptomatic leg : Heavy legs, Painful legs, Tired legs, Sensation of swelling and/or tension in the legs).

* Acceptability : Easiness to swallow assessed by a VAS of 100 mm rated by the patient from "0" = Very easy to swallow, up to "10" = Very difficult to swallow

* Patient's global satisfaction related to the treatment efficacy : Four levels scale rated as following : bad, acceptable, good, and very good

* Investigator's global satisfaction related to the treatment efficacy : Four levels scale rated as following : bad, acceptable, good, and very good

* Tolerability (related adverse events)

* Compliance : Accountability of treatments returned by the patient

The primary endpoint will be the change between the VAS symptoms scores at M0 and M6 / end of study visit (early withdrawal). Secondary endpoints include assessments of efficacy, oral acceptability of study drug, and tolerance.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in VAS symptom scoresFrom pretreatment (month 0) until month 6 of the 6-month treatment period

Change between the 100mm visual analog scale (VAS) symptoms (from 0mm \[absence of venous symptoms\] to 100mm \[maximal intensity of venous symptoms\] scores at month 0 (pretreatment) and month 6 / end of study visit (early withdrawal).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Efficacy: Patient global satisfaction at each visitFrom pretreatment (month 0) until month 6 of the 6-month treatment period

Oral acceptabilityFrom pretreatment (month 0) until month 6 of the 6-month treatment period

Evaluation of the oral acceptability on a 100mm VAS (from 0mm - very easy to swallow to 100mm - very difficult to swallow) of the treatment at each visit

Efficacy: Investigator's global satisfaction at each visitFrom pretreatment (month 0) until month 6 of the 6-month treatment period

Evaluation of the investigator's global satisfaction at each visit on a four level scale of "bad", "acceptable", "good", and "very good"

Tolerance: Number of related adverse events during the studyThroughout the 6-month treatment period

Number of related adverse events during the study

Efficacy: Evolution of VAS score at each visitFrom pretreatment (month 0) until month 6 of the 6-month treatment period

Evolution of the 100mm VAS symptoms (from 0mm \[absence of venous symptoms\] to 100mm \[maximal intensity of venous symptoms\]) at each visit
