Trial summary

Computed tomography (CT) is the modality of choice to characterize pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) in patients with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). The objective of this study was to determine if CT findings were associated with frequency of brain abscess and ischaemic stroke. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations (PAVMs) in Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT): Correlations Between Computed Tomography Findings and Cerebral Complications

Computed tomography (CT) is the modality of choice to characterize pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) in patients with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). The objective of this study was to determine if CT findings were associated with frequency of brain abscess and ischaemic stroke.

This retrospective study included patients with HHT-related PAVMs. CT results, PAVM presentation (unique, multiple, disseminated or diffuse), the number of PAVMs and the largest feeding artery size, were correlated to prevalence of ischaemic stroke and brain abscess.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Data collection from standard follow upOther

    Annual clinical consultation with an Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) specialist and/or pneumologist and organ specialists when necessary (such as hepatologists, cardiologists and neurologists).

    Explorations (contrast echography, chest Computed Tomography and treatments performed according to international guidelines.

    TransCatheter Embolotherapy for each treatable Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations (PAVMs) and follow-up every 3 years.

    Chest Computed Tomography (CT) every 6-12 months.

Study groups in NCT03940014
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformationsPatients with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT)-related Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations (PAVMs). For all patients, the final diagnosis of certain HHT the diagnosis can be made depending on the presence of four criteria known as the Curaçao criteria: 1) Spontaneous recurrent epistaxis 2) Multiple telangiectasias in typical locations 3) Proven visceral Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM) (lung, liver, brain, spine) 4) First-degree family member with HHT. If conditions three or four are met, a patient has "definite HHT", while condition two is considered as "possible HHT". All patients had a molecular diagnosis and all follow-up clinical assessments were available in the database.

What is being measured

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

  1. Yearly change in chest Computed Tomography (CT) results in patients with Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT).

    The presence of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) (unique, multiple, disseminated or diffuse, the number of PAVMs and the largest feeding artery size) upon examination by CT could be correlated to the frequency of brain abscess and ischemic stroke in patients with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). These patients underwent a yearly CT scan to check for PAVM presence.

    Measured: Every year for 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia and Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon.

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 7 May 2019. 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?

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?

Yearly change in chest Computed Tomography (CT) results in patients with Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). (time frame: Every year for 10 years). 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 7 May 2019.
