Part I: The purpose of this Phase 1b proof of concept study, randomised, placebo controlled, double blind, multicentre study is to asssess safety and efficacy of 2 doses of VAD044 in adult HHT patients. Part II: The purpose of this open-label extension following the completion of the randomised double blind treatment and follow-up period (Part I of the study) is to assess the long-term safetty, tolerability and efficacy of VAD044 in adult HHT patients.
Part I: After being informed about the study and the potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo a two months screening and observation period to determine eligibility for study entry. At Day 0, patients who meet the eligibility requirements will be randomized in a double-blind manner (participant and investigator) in a 1:1:1 ratio to 30mg VAD044 (once daily), 40 mg (once daily) or placebo (once daily). Part II: Patients who have completed the study Part I can participate in the open-label extension study (Part II).The patients can roll over immediately after last visit of the Part I or at any time at their convenience and according to their availability, but within a timeframe no longer than 8 months after the last visit (visit 12) of the part I. All patients in Part II will receive 30 mg of VAD044 once daily for the first 4 weeks afterwards the daily dose can be increased to 40 mg daily for up to 12 months.

Part I: Change in Epistaxis Severity Score (ESS)
ESS used to evaluate the current severity of HHT patient nosebleeds (typically in the last three months) and can help health care providers to evaluate how a patient is responding to treatment. This score ranges from 0-10 and is automatically calculated after answering six simple questions. The higher the score the more severe.

Part I: Quality of Life Scale SF-12
The SF-12 Quality of Life Scale is a scale to evaluate quality of life using 12 questions. In the SF-12, physical (SF12-PCS) and mental (SF12-MCS) component summary scores are calculated as sub-dimensions. The total score of the physical and mental component summary of the scale varies between 0-100. An increase in the score indicates well-being, and a decrease indicates a state of disability.
