Brief Summary
In a case series intranasal submucosal bevacizumab has been shown to reduce epistaxis in patients suffering from Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia together with KTP Laser therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of submucosal intranasal bevacizumab compared to placebo in a randomized double blind trial setting.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
relative change in average daily Epistaxis VAS scores compared to baseline
Daily epistaxis VAS scores are recorded in a diary. The baseline score is the average daily epistaxis VAS score 4 weeks before treatment (day -28 to 0). This score is compared to the average daily VAS score day 10-84 posttreatment. The relative change of this average score compared to baseline is the primary outcome.
day 10 - 84 posttreatment
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Epistaxis Severity Score HHT-ESS compared to baseline
3 months post treatment
Epistaxis frequency, duration and severity compared to baseline
day 10 - 84 posttreatment
Number of emergency department visits due to epistaxis compared to baseline
day 10 - 84 posttreatment
lab results (ferritin values, Hb, Hct) compared to baseline
day 84 posttreatment
Number of transfusions needed compared to baseline
day 10-84 posttreatment
