Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Current treatment options for hemangiomas, such as propranolol, steroids and interferon, all have the potential for significantly harmful side effects. The purpose of this study is to identify potential biomarkers that can be used to design clinical trials and accelerate the delivery of new treatment alternatives to children with hemangiomas.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Urine will be collected from children with hemangiomas and age-matched healthy controls at 2,4,6,9,12,18 and 24 months of age. Children with hemangiomas will also have ultrasound examination performed at each visit.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Children with hemangioma
* Age ≤ 5 months
* Doppler ultrasound confirmed diagnosis of hemangioma to rule out presence of vascular malformation

* Known history of sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, or other hemoglobinopathy
* Hemangioma presented as fully formed at birth consistent with rapidly involuting or non-involuting congenital hemangioma
* PHACES syndrome- posterior fossa malformations, hemangioma, arterial anomalies, cardiac anomalies, eye abnormalities, sternal anomalies
