About this study

Myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative Disease represent conditions with increased risk for pulmonary hypertension. However, the exact prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in these conditions is not known. The effects of pulmonary hypertension on the clinical picture and the symptoms of patients in these conditions needs also further exploration. This exploratory study is designed to describe the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in the population with such hematologic diseases, and the stages of pulmonary hypertension as well its effect on exercise capacity at time of diagnosis.

Read the detailed description

For early recognition of pulmonary hypertension exercise doppler echocardiography will be used in all patients. Patients with elevated pulmonary arterial pressure at rest or during exercise (estimated by echocardiography), or with decreased exercise capacity (as a potential sign of pulmonary hypertension) are advised to undergo right heart catheterisation. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing and six-minute walk distance measurement are performed to measure exercise capacity. The described work-up of patients allows precise and objective hemodynamic and clinical evaluation.

Being tested

    Also called EDE, RHC

    at each patient an echocardiography will be performed at rest and during exercise. For the evaluation of exercise capacity, cardiopulmonary exercise testing and six-minute walk is performed. Right heart catheterisation is recommended to those with suspected pulmonary hypertension.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myeloproliferative Disorder and Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Medical University of Graz at 1 site in Austria.

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 7 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 9 Mar 2012. 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 Austria. 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?

mean pulmonary arterial pressure at rest and during exercise (time frame: at baseline and after 1 year). 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 9 Mar 2012.
