Trial summary

Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a disease that is characterized by vasoconstriction of small vessels of the lung. Many cases do have proliferation of endothelial cells within these vessels. A possible influence of polymorphisms of genes relevant for inflammatory and endothelial processes is suspected. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of Different Genetic Polymorphism on the Pulmonary Pressure in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension of Different Cause With Special Focus on Patients With Chronic Heart Failure

Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a disease that is characterized by vasoconstriction of small vessels of the lung. Many cases do have proliferation of endothelial cells within these vessels. A possible influence of polymorphisms of genes relevant for inflammatory and endothelial processes is suspected.

Especially patients with chronic heart failure can develope PH. The reasons therefore are lacking.

The researchers investigate different polymorphism and the influence of these on pulmonary artery pressure (measured invasively) in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and patients with primary pulmonary hypertension.

Read the detailed description

The study consists of 3 arms-patients with CHF and PH, patients with CHF without PH and patients without CHF and PH.

The PH measurement is due to routine catheterization, thereafter we measure different vasoactive polymorphism.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT00893178
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CHF with elevated PAPCHF patients (LVEF > 35%) with elevated mean pulmonary pressure( > 20 mmHg ) measured by pa catheter
CHF patient without elevated PAPCHF patients (LVEF > 35%) with normal mean pulmonary pressure
Normal EF with elevated PAPPatients with normal LVEF < 60% with elevated mean pulmonary pressure

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of the Expression of Glu 298ASP Polymorphism with pulmonary pressure

    Measured: Dec. 2010

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rate of G308A TNF alpha polymorphism within the different groups

    Measured: Dec. 2010

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congestive Heart Failure and Pulmonary Hypertension, run by University of Leipzig at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 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 17 Nov 2021. 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 Germany. 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?

Correlation of the Expression of Glu 298ASP Polymorphism with pulmonary pressure (time frame: Dec. 2010). 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 17 Nov 2021.
