About this study

Official title: Global Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) Patient Registry

The primary aim of the Global Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) Patient Registry is to conduct a prospectively-planned and efficient natural history study that will result in a more comprehensive understanding of the disease and its course and pace over time. Other registry objectives include the following:

  • Provide a convenient online platform for participants (or caregivers) to self-report cases of PNH.
  • Develop a communications registry within the Global PNH Patient registry (e.g., to notify patients of research studies and clinical trials).
  • Characterize and describe the Global PNH population as a whole, enhancing the understanding of disease prevalence and phenotype as well as the rate of progression of disease characteristics.
  • Assist the PNH community with the development of recommendations and standards of care.
  • Be a case-finding resource to be used for researchers who seek to study the pathophysiology of PNH, retrospectively collate intervention outcomes, and design prospective trials of novel treatments.
Read the detailed description

The Global PNH Patient Registry is a prospective, longitudinal, web-based, observational natural history study. Participants with PNH will be followed throughout the course of their lives with either the participant or authorized respondents contributing data at varying intervals throughout the course of the study. Data will be collected at the start of the study (baseline), at least once per year or can be updated by the participant as needed. Data will be collected on demographics, quality of life, medical history, disease phenotypes, disease-related events, personal experience with PNH, general health status, medications, and diagnoses. The Global PNH Patient Registry provides a convenient online platform for participants; facilitates communication about PNH; gives researchers the ability to characterize the PNH population as a whole; assists the PNH community with the development of recommendations and standards of care and; and serves as a case-finding resource to be used for researchers to study the pathophysiology of PNH.

A Registry Advisory Board, that may include scientists, doctors, and patient advocates, will be assembled to oversee the conduct of the study. The Advisory Board will review aggregate registry data and the use of this registry, ensure proper evaluation of protocols requesting to use registry data and/or contact registry participants, and review any protocol or confidentiality deviations on a case- by by-case basis and ensure that any such deviations are reported to the IRB.

The registry will use a web-based interface to maximize accessibility to participants and clinicians world-wide. Following informed consent, participants will be invited to enter their data and information which will be stored indefinitely or until a participant revokes their consent to participate in the study. No experimental intervention is involved in participation in the Global PNH Patient registry study.

Annual maintenance will be funded by the Aplastic Anemia and MDS International Foundation (AAMDSIF) with support from industry partners. Registry participants will be automatically enrolled in NORD's Natural History Study Program (NHS), and their de-identified information aggregated with information from other rare diseases may be used for the purposes of cross disease analysis and cross-disease research to facilitate advocacy and further NORD's mission. De-identified information may be shared with other databases such as the Rare Disease Cures Accelerator-Data and Analytics Platform (RDCA-DAP). This will allow more researchers to use the information to do research.

What is being measured

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

  1. Characterize and describe the Global PNH population

    Understand disease prevalence and phenotype as well as the rate of progression of disease characteristics. Gather patient experiences including demographics, diagnostics, treatment, symptoms, and quality of life.

    Measured: 5-10 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Develop a communications registry

    • Be a case-finding resource to be used for researchers who seek to study the pathophysiology of PNH, retrospectively collate intervention outcomes, and design prospective trials of novel treatments.
    • Notify patients of research studies and clinical trials as appropriate.

    Measured: 5-10 years

Individual data sharing
Yes: It is anticipated that the Global PNH Patient Registry will be a valuable resource for current and future research. A Global PNH Patient Registry Advisory Board will ensure proper evaluation of protocols that request use of registry data and/or contact registry participants. To promote use of the repository, aggregate information about database contents will be updated quarterly or semi-annually and made available to the public. Such information may include number of registrants, prevalence of common diagnoses of registrants, demographic information, and percent willing to be contacted for future research. Investigators wanting to use the registry or contact participants will need to apply to the Advisory Board. The application will require information concerning: Principal Investigator, aims and hypotheses of the proposed research, where the research will be performed, and how the research will be funded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria, run by Aplastic Anemia and MDS International Foundation at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 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 United States. 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 Alice Houk, MS (3012797202 ext. 101, houk@aamds.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Characterize and describe the Global PNH population (time frame: 5-10 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 20 Feb 2025.
