Study population: Takayasu's arteritis patients with pulmonary artery involvement

Who may be able to join

  • 1.Meet the diagnostic criteria of TA as defined by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR).
  • 2.PA involvement: meet at least one of three items: (1) at least one of computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA), pulmonary perfusion imaging, or pulmonary arteriography suggests thickening of vessel wall, stenosis, aneurysm, or occlusion; (2) 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) suggests high intake of local radioactive material in pulmonary artery wall; (3) pulmonary artery systolic blood pressure is higher than 50 mmHg assessed by transthoracic echocardiography (defined as PAH), without left ventricular disease.

About this study

Official title: Pulmonary Artery Involvement in Takayasu's Arteritis: a Retrospective Study in China

The purpose of this study is to analyze the clinical manifestations, imaging features, and prognosis-related factors of pulmonary artery (PA) involvement in Takayasu's arteritis (TA), and to explore the early clinical features of PA involvement in TA patients.

Read the detailed description

Takayasu's arteritis patients with pulmonary artery involvement were enrolled into this study. The demographic information of the patients (age, sex, course of disease), symptoms at their admissions (cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, palpitations, fever), laboratory examinations (blood lab routines, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein), and imaging examinations (vascular ultrasonography, computed tomographic angiography, echocardiography, chest CT, CTPA, pulmonary perfusion imaging, pulmonary angiography, PET/CT) were collected by reviewing the cases. The prognostic information was collected by telephone follow-up. The follow-up end point was December 2015.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pulmonary Artery Systolic Blood Pressure

    Pulmonary artery systolic blood pressure(PASP) assessed by transthoracic echocardiography when admission. PASP>50mmHg is defined as pulmonary hypertension.

    Measured: 1day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Takayasu Arteritis and Pulmonary Artery Hypertension, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 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 16 Jun 2017. 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 China. 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 Artery Systolic Blood Pressure (time frame: 1day). 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 NCT03189602, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Jun 2017.
