About this study

Official title: Characterization and Significance of Circulating Microvesicles in Pulmonary Hypertension Due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Mild to moderate pulmonary hypertension is a common complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); such a complication is associated with increased risks of exacerbation and decreased survival. A small proportion of COPD patients may present with severe pulmonary hypertension, defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure more than 35 mmHg (or more than 20 mmHg with a low cardiac index < 2 l/min/m2) with pulmonary vascular resistance more than 3 Wood units, measured by right heart catheterization (RHC). In these patients, pulmonary microvessels remodeling is the main cause of increase in pulmonary arterial pressure and is thought to result from the combined effects of hypoxia, inflammation, and loss of capillaries but the mechanisms are complex.

For these patients, no drugs have been approved for treatment and lung transplantation must be considered for the more severe patients who are eligible. A better characterization of these patients is needed.

We hypothesize that microvesicles generation and endothelial damage could be related to the severity of pulmonary hypertension due to COPD, assessed by pulmonary hemodynamic parameters. Circulating biomarkers of vascular damage and cell activation will be measured in blood samples from 80 COPD patients who have hemodynamic assessment by RHC. To go further, the origin of the particles will be characterized.

What participants receive

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

  • CatheterizationProcedure or surgery

    Right heart catheterization, using the Swan-Ganz standard technique, to measure mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, cardiac output and pulmonary vascular resistance

What is being measured

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

  1. Study the rate of circulating endothelial microparticles (EPPs) according to the severity of pulmonary hypertension associated with COPD.

    Circulating biomarkers of vascular damage and cell activation will be measured in blood samples from COPD patients who have hemodynamic assessment by RHC. Samples will be withdrawn from occluded pulmonary artery and jugular vein during the exam.

    Measured: - During the first hemodynamic assessment by RHC; - At 3 to 6 months, if hemodynamic control is required (RHC)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Characterization of circulating microvesicles in pulmonary hypertension due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    Circulating markers of endothelium damage with circulating microvesicles will be dosed.

    Measured: - During the first hemodynamic assessment by RHC; - At 3 to 6 months, if an hemodynamic control is required (RHC)

  2. Characterization of circulating microvesicles in pulmonary hypertension due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    Proinflammatory markers with circulating microvesicles will be dosed.

    Measured: - During the first hemodynamic assessment by RHC; - At 3 to 6 months, if an hemodynamic control is required (RHC)

  3. Characterization of circulating microvesicles in pulmonary hypertension due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    Cell stimulation estimated with circulating microvesicles will be dosed.

    Measured: - During the first hemodynamic assessment by RHC; - At 3 to 6 months, if an hemodynamic control is required (RHC)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Hypertension Due to Chronic and Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France 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 4 inclusion and 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Marianne RIOU (+33 369551145, marianne.riou@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Study the rate of circulating endothelial microparticles (EPPs) according to the severity of pulmonary hypertension associated with COPD. (time frame: - During the first hemodynamic assessment by RHC; - At 3 to 6 months, if hemodynamic control is required (RHC)). 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 22 Jun 2022.
