About this study

Official title: Study Searching for Hypoxemic Sleep Breathing Disorders in a Cohort of Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (IPAH) and Chronic Post-embolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CPEPH)

In the investigators study, and regarding results of small cohorts in the literature, the investigators hypothesize that hypoxemia is frequent in IPAH and CPEPH. The investigators will explore these patients with a one night polysomnography and transcutaneous capnography, searching for hypoxemia and hypercapnia and by determining its physiopathologic mechanisms.

Read the detailed description

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare and severe disease of young adults, characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistances leading to cardiac failure and death. Patients with PH are categorized in two major groups: primary PH (PPH) wich is idiopathic, and secondary PH associated with many conditions such as chronic pulmonary embolic diseases (CPED).Increase in vascular resistance in PH is secondary to vasoconstriction and to a proliferative remodeling process of the arterial wall leading to obliteration of the small arterioles. On the other hand, hypoxemia is known to cause similar changes in vascular architecture. Also, some small cohorts study in the literature mentioned an increase of sleep hypoxemia prevalence accounting for almost 70% of cases. The mechanisms of this hypoxemia are completely unknown.Our study is observational, prospective and transversal, searching for hypoxemic respiratory sleep disorders (HRSD) in PPH and in CPEPH. Included patients will have one night polysomnography (CIDELEC) with a continuous measurement of transcutaneous PCO2.The major objectives are to determine the prevalence of HRSD, their physiopathologic mechanisms and their possible causal factors according to PH history, clinical findings and hemodynamic severity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Disorders, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 29 Mar 2013. 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?

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?

hypoxemia during the night (time frame: at the inclusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01371669, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Mar 2013.
