About this study

To establish a registry of individuals with LAM by forming a consortium of six clinical centers and referring physicians who treat LAM patients.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

LAM is a rare multi-system disease that can affect the lungs of young women, is of uncertain cause, is usually progressive, and can cause debilitating lung disease which may be corrected with lung transplantation. Several hundred women with the disease have been identified, largely through a LAM Foundation in Cincinnati, Ohio.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

The Data and Coordinating Center is located at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. The registry has six major clinical centers: Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Mayo Clinic-Rochester, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Jewish Medical and Research Center, New England Medical Center, and Stanford University Medical Center. Data and lung tissue collected by the registry will be used to characterize the clinical features and natural history of the disease and to determine the efficacy of lung transplantation in this disorder. Eligible patients are to be seen yearly for up to 4 years at the Clinical Centers or, in some cases, by individual referring physicians. Tissue collected by the LAM Registry will be stored at a central NHLBI repository. Outcome events include measures of pulmonary function (eg, spirometry and, when available, lung volumes and diffusing capacity), arterial blood gases or oximetry, walking and resting oxygen titration, cardiopulmonary stress testing, cause-specific mortality, functional status, and clinical events associated with lung transplantation.

The Office of Research on Women's Health provided funding in FY 1997 in the amount of $100,000.

The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "End Date" entered in the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) record.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Diseases and Lymphangiomyomatosis, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005486, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Feb 2016.
