Nadolol for Proliferating Infantile Hemangiomas
Nadolol for Proliferating Infantile Hemangiomas: A Prospective Open Label Study With a Historical Control

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of Nadolol in hemangiomas of infancy.

The secondary objective is to assess the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial comparing nadolol with corticosteroids and propranolol.

Systemic corticosteroids are currently the most frequent used medication for treatment of problematic infantile hemangiomas (IH's). Since June 2008, systemic propranolol has been an important addition to the therapeutic options for problematic IH, allowing decreased dependence on the systemic corticosteroids. So far, we have found excellent response with propranolol with minimal short-term side effects. Studies, which compared nadolol and propranolol in children with other conditions, suggest that nadolol is safer and more efficacious than propranolol. In addition, it has better dosing schedules and less central nervous system (CNS) penetration, making it suitable even for patients with suspected or proven PHACES syndrome.
Interventional
Phase 2
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Infantile Hemangioma
Drug: Nadolol
Nadolol will be administered orally at home starting at 0.5 mg/kg/day divided into 2 doses. Weekly, if BP and heart rate are acceptable, the dose will be increased by 0.5 mg/kg/day up to 2 mg/kg/day.
  • Experimental: Intervention Group:

    The patients in this study are infants aged 1 month to 1 year of age with head and neck hemangiomas currently causing /or with impending function loss (e.g. vision, airway obstruction, feeding, etc), or hemangiomas currently causing/or with potential for facial disfigurement

    Infants aged 1 month to 1 year of age with head and neck hemangiomas that received treatment with systemic propranolol in the past 2 years as a control group

    Intervention: Drug: Nadolol
  • No Intervention: Historical control group
    Ten infants (1-12 months of age) treated with propranolol will be identified from a Dermatology Database. Patients will be considered as controls if they were treated with propranolol before 1 year of age and had digital photography documentation of their hemangioma.
  • No Intervention: Angiogenesis marker control group
    The angiogenesis marker control group will consist of 6 -10 patients seen in the Dermatology clinic for conditions other than IH and not receiving corticosteroids or beta blockers.
