About this study

The current data on the incidence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) are very variable, depending on the different studies designs. There are no data on the prognostic of PH in patients with asymptomatic pulmonary thromboembolisms (PT), neither paucisymptomatic PH, in which without a prospective follow-up would be underdiagnosed. We thought that the prognosis of both clinical forms (PT with or without symptoms) would be similar.

The objective of this study is know the real incidence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) post symptomatic and asymptomatic pulmonary thromboembolic (PT).

Read the detailed description

Rationale

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) post pulmonary thromboembolisms is a serious and complex disease, is one major cause of pulmonary hypertension (1). It is the most feared late complication of pulmonary thromboembolism (PT) characterized by the organization of thrombotic material within the pulmonary arteries (2). Although a purely mechanical theory is too simplistic in view of the lack of correlation between the proportion of obliterated pulmonary arteries and the numbers of PH.

Acute, symptomatic, or asymptomatic PT may be the initial event, but disease progression would result from progressive vascular remodeling of small vessels. It is possible that unresolved pulmonary arterial thrombosis is a decisive factor for vascular endothelial cells to initiate their mesenchymal transition (3).

On the other hand, Pulmonary hypertension post pulmonary thromboembolisms is the only subclass of pulmonary hypertension that has a curative surgical treatment (4). The diagnosis of this situation should be detected as soon as possible to optimize the results of surgical and pharmacological treatment. Surgical indication should be established as early as possible to avoid progression (5).

Hypothesis

The current data on the incidence of PH are very variable, depending on the different studies designs. There are no data on the prognostic of PH in patients with asymptomatic PT, neither paucisymptomatic PH, in which without a prospective follow-up would be underdiagnosed. We thought that the prognosis of both clinical forms (PT with or without symptoms) would be similar. Also we thought and that there are forms of paucisymptomatic PH whose diagnosis and treatment would benefit from a prospective follow-up.

Objectives

Main objective

To know the incidence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) post symptomatic and asymptomatic pulmonary thromboembolic (PT).

The secondary objectives of the study are:

  • To defined clinical subtypes of PT with a predictive value of diagnosis of PH in two years.
  • To Measure biomarkers described that may be related to the diagnosis of PH or the disease progression.
  • Use of genetic, proteomic, RNA transcription, cytometric and cellular and metabolic identification assays to aid in the search for new genetic factors and / or PH biomarkers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Hypertension and Pulmonary Thromboembolisms, run by Sociedad Española de Neumología y Cirugía Torácica at 23 sites in Spain.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 22 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in Spain. 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 hypertension (time frame: 2 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 NCT03134898, which also lists 6 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 22 Mar 2021.
