Trial summary

The clonal hematopoiesis of indetermined prognosis (CHIP) has been described as risk factor for juvenile atherosclerosis. Moreover, some of CHIP genes are responsible of myeloproliferative disorders. Venous thrombosis are frequent in these disorders. Read more about this study

About this study

The clonal hematopoiesis of indetermined prognosis (CHIP) has been described as risk factor for juvenile atherosclerosis. Moreover, some of CHIP genes are responsible of myeloproliferative disorders. Venous thrombosis are frequent in these disorders. The purpose of this project is to determine if CHIP is frequent in unprovoked pulmonary embolism and could be part of the pathophysiology.

What is being measured

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

  1. Variation of CHIP markers between patients groups

    Variation of CHIP markers (clonal hematopoiesis of indetermined prognosis ) between patients groups.

    CHIP concept have been defined as a mutation of preleukemic genes at an allelic variation inferior to 2% associated with normal complete blood count.

    Measured: up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing blood sample in people with Pulmonary Embolism and Hematopoiesis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

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 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2025. 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 France. 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?

Contact Simon SOUDET, MD (03 22 88 72 89, soudet.simon@chu-amiens.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Variation of CHIP markers between patients groups (time frame: up to 2 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 29 May 2025.
