Trial summary

This study is designed to investigate whether an association exists between certain genes/protein levels and the development of various cardiopulmonary diseases. It is hoped that this project will provide valuable insight into the understanding of these diseases. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Identification of Genetic Markers for Cardiopulmonary Diseases

This study is designed to investigate whether an association exists between certain genes/protein levels and the development of various cardiopulmonary diseases. It is hoped that this project will provide valuable insight into the understanding of these diseases.

Read the detailed description

There are two main groups of participants in this trial:

Group 1: Patients that are enrolled in either or both of previous studies: X980515002 study (Identification of Genetic Markers for Primary Pulmonary Hypertension) and or X030403017 study (Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) Database)

Group 2: Participants with the diagnosis of any of the previously listed Cardiopulmonary Diseases who are ≥15 years of age

Group 1: For those patients who have had blood samples drawn as a result of participating in the current protocol, Identification of Genetic Markers for Primary Pulmonary Hypertension study (X980515002), we would like to use their previously obtained blood and continue to draw samples (12mL; less than 3 tablespoons) ONLY if they change disease therapies. With each disease therapy change, blood will be drawn at baseline, at 3-4 month, at 6-8 month, at 12 month, and at 24 month visits. These current X980515002 participants WILL sign a consent form to participate in this new trial. As for the X980515002 expired patients, we would like to use the previously obtained data ONLY in part for this study that was collected as a result of the X980515002 study.

For those patients who participated in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) Database study (X030403017), these participants WILL also sign a consent form to participant in this new trial. We would like to use the previously obtained data from the X030403017 in part with this study. With each disease therapy change, a 12mL (less than 3 teaspoons) blood sample will be drawn at baseline, at 3-4 month, at 6-8 month, at 12 month, and at 24 month visits. As for the X030403017 expired patients, we would like to use the previously obtained data in part for this study that was collected as a result of the X030403017 study.

Group 2: After signing a consent form, these participants will have a 12mL (less than 3 teaspoons) blood sample drawn at baseline, at 3-4 month, at 6-8 month, at 12 month, and at 24 month visits. With each disease therapy change, the blood draws (12mL samples) will begin again at baseline and continue through the 3-4, 6-8, 12, and 24 month visits.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham 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 1 inclusion and 0 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 11 Jan 2016. 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?

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?

Changes in NYHA WHO Functional Class,right and left heart catheterization measurements, echocardiograms, 6MWT, laboratory values, electrocardiograms, x-ray's, MRI's, CT Scans, Pulmonary Function Tests, and Ventilation Perfusion Scans will be assessed. (time frame: 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 11 Jan 2016.
