Study Summary

Varicose veins are enlarged, noticeably bulging veins, which commonly occur in the legs and may cause discomfort. In this study, patients with varicose veins in the legs will be participating. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of two different doses of an investigational drug, Polidocanol Endovenous Microfoam (PEM) compared to vehicle (inactive solution) when used following an approved heat treatment in subjects with varicose veins.

Primary Outcome

The Independent Photography Review - Visible Varicose Veins (IPR-V3) instrument is a 5-point scale used to assess the appearance of a patient's visible varicose veins. At screening, the site clinician was instructed to review the appearance of the patient's varicose veins in the medial section of each leg (a 'live' assessment), then select an IPR-V3 score (i.e., none=0, mild, moderate, severe or very severe=4) that best represented the appearance of the patient's varicose veins. This assessment
