| Main Objective: To show the superiority of Doxium® 500 versus placebo in the reduction of oedema of the lower limbs in patients suffering from CVI CEAP Class C3 or C4;Secondary Objective: • Efficacy variables: circumferences of the calf and the ankle, quality of life (questionnaire CIVIQ), symptoms (pain, discomfort, heavy and tired legs, tingling, itching and cramps), efficacy evaluation by both the investigator and the patient •Safety aspects and tolerability of the trial medication ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint will be the relative volume change in the most pathological leg using water displacement volumetry.;Main Objective: To show the superiority of Doxium® 500 versus placebo in the reduction of oedema of the lower limbs in patients suffering from CVI CEAP Class C3 or C4;Secondary Objective: • Efficacy variables: circumferences of the calf and the ankle, quality of life (questionnaire CIVIQ), symptoms (pain, discomfort, heavy and tired legs, tingling, itching and cramps), efficacy evaluation by both the investigator and the patient •Safety aspects and tolerability of the trial medication ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint will be the relative volume change in the most pathological leg using water displacement volumetry. | — |
