What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Fibrotic Valvular Heart Disease Per 10,000 Participant-Years of Follow-Up

    Occurrence of: mitral stenosis with insufficiency, other unspecified mitral valve diseases, mitral or aortic valve stenosis, insufficiency, or disorders, multiple involvement of mitral and aortic valves, mitral and aortic valve diseases, unspecified, diseases of tricuspid valve, tricuspid valve disorders, specified as nonrheumatic, pulmonary valve disorders, endocarditis, valve unspecified, endomyocardial fibrosis, endocardial fibroelastosis, other primary or secondary cardiomyopathies, cardiomyopathy, functional and undiagnosed cardiac murmurs, other abnormal heart sounds.

    Measured: Up to 12 years

  2. Number of Participants With Fibrosis Per 10,000 Participant-Years of Follow-Up

    Occurrence of: idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis, occlusion not otherwise specified (NOS) of ureter, diffuse (idiopathic) (interstitial) pulmonary fibrosis, Hamman-Rich syndrome, interstitial pneumonia (desquamative) (lymphoid), fibrosis of lung (atrophic; confluent; massive; perialveolar; peribronchial) chronic or unspecified, pulmonary or pleural fibrosis, abnormal communication between pericardial and pleural sacs, pleural fold anomaly, adhesive or constrictive pericarditis, pericardial fibrosis

    Measured: Up to 12 years

  3. Number of Participants With Heart Failure Per 10,000 Participant-Years of Follow-Up

    Occurrence of: unspecified acute edema of lung, heart failure, acute pulmonary heart disease, or acute cor pulmonale

    Measured: Up to 12 years

  4. Number of Participants With All-Cause Mortality Per 10,000 Participant-Years of Follow-Up

    All participants who died independent of the cause to include instantaneous death, death occurring in less than 24 hours from onset of symptoms, not otherwise explained, unattended death and other causes of ill defined morbidity and mortality. Cause of death was coded and classified as either cardiovascular or respiratory.

    Measured: Up to 12 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Disease and Hyperprolactinemia, run by Pfizer.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. 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 23 Mar 2011. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Mar 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Fibrotic Valvular Heart Disease Per 10,000 Participant-Years of Follow-Up (time frame: Up to 12 years). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Mar 2011.
