Trial summary

Goal of the study is to assess the frequency of pulmonary hypertension in patients with chronic myeloproliferative diseases. In each patient an echocardiography at rest will be performed. In patients without musculoskeletal disease an exercise test (spiroergometry) will be performed. Read more about this study

About this study

Goal of the study is to assess the frequency of pulmonary hypertension in patients with chronic myeloproliferative diseases. In each patient an echocardiography at rest will be performed. In patients without musculoskeletal disease an exercise test (spiroergometry) will be performed. Patients with elevated SPAP at rest or with reduced exercise capacity (peak VO2 < 65%) a right heart catheterization (RHC) will be recommended. Also patients with advanced NYHA functional class (III or IV) or with typical PH findings in electrocardiogram will be advised to undergo a RHC. Additionally for the evaluation of exercise capacity a 6 MWD will be performed.

This work- up of patients allows clinical and hemodynamic evaluation.

Read the detailed description

Previous small studies and clinical cases have suggested a possible association between pulmonary hypertension (PH) and chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPD). MPD may cause PH through different mechanisms as: high cardiac output, asplenia, direct obstruction of pulmonary arteries by megakaryocytes, chronic thromboembolic endothelial pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), porto-pulmonary hypertension (POPH). However, the exact prevalence of PH in this group of disorders is not known.

This study is designed to identify the pulmonary vascular changes and describe the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension (defined in this study as mean pulmonary arterial hypertension (mPAP) ≥25mmHg as assessed by right-heart catheterization (RHC) or systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP) ≥37mmHg (2.9 m/s) assessed by echocardiography.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myeloproliferative Disorders and Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Medical University of Graz at 1 site in Austria.

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 2 inclusion and 12 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 9 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pulmonary arterial pressure (time frame: at baseline). 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 9 Sep 2015.
