Results from VANISH-2, the first of two US pivotal Phase III trials of Varisolve (polidocanol endovenous microfoam), from BTG, for patients with Varicose Veins, have been published in Phlebology. Data from the study indicate that Varisolve provides a clinically meaningful benefit in treating symptoms and appearance in patients with Varicose Veins caused by SFJ reflux. The study achieved all primary, secondary and tertiary efficacy endpoints in patients with vein diameters ranging from 3.1 to 19.4 mm.

BTG submitted an NDA to the FDA in April 2013.
