About this study

Official title: Redefining Pulmonary Hypertension Through Pulmonary Vascular Disease Phenomics (PVDOMICS)

It is recognized that patients with various forms of heart and lung disease exhibit varying degrees of pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary vascular remodeling, and right ventricular dysfunction. The genetic, molecular, and cellular processes driving these phenomena are not well understood. Rapid advances in high throughput omic methodology, combined with powerful bioinformatics and network biology capability, have created the opportunity to conduct studies that broadly search for homologies and differences across the spectrum of disease states associated with pulmonary hypertension, and determinants of the spectrum of right ventricular compensation that accompanies these conditions

Read the detailed description

The protocol is designed to lead to new understanding of patients with pulmonary hypertension and right heart dysfunction, based on molecular, clinical, hemodynamic and radiographic characteristics. New classifications will be a product of association of these in depth phenotypic descriptions with specific molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis. The protocol will be implemented to lead to identification of both sub-phenotypes of lung vascular disease and to biomarkers of disease that may be useful for early diagnosis or for assessment of interventions to prevent or treat this condition.

A longitudinal study in a subset of the participants enrolled in the parent cross-sectional study will:

  1. Retest participants at a minimum 6 month interval from initial evaluation to collect a core set of clinical and OMICS features. This will include survival, clinical staging, clinical group assignment, 6-minute walk, echocardiography, and blood for a broad collection of selected OMICS tests, to include proteomics and other variables found to be informative in the initial set.
  2. Associate and compare OMICS data with clinical sets and OMICS clusters between baseline and follow-up interval, with attention to reproducibility, predictive capacity as biomarkers for diagnosis, disease progression, phenotypic changes, functional capacity, therapeutic response and survival.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 13 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Precision based definitions of pulmonary vascular diseases (PVD) (time frame: Over 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02980887, which also lists 10 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 9 Sep 2026.
