About this study

Official title: Patient Reported Side Effects of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) Medications

The study seeks to analyze the patient reported effects of pulmonary hypertension medications and compare these with the side effects described on the package inserts. Side effects for these PH medications have been described in the adult population, but have never been described in the pediatric population. This information can better improve patient care and be used to characterize the side effects resultant from these medications.

Read the detailed description

As part of standard of care, patients are routinely asked about any symptoms they might be experiencing. This study seeks to quantify these symptoms for research purposes. Participants will be identified through those who attend the pediatric pulmonary hypertension clinic at LPCH. Only children who are currently on one of seven PH medications (Bosentan, Epoprostenol, Letairis, Sildenafil, Tadalafil, Treprostinil, Ventaris) will be approached. Patients who consent to be in the study will answer a brief series of questions pertaining to the presence and duration of their symptoms. These will be correlated to a list of side effects taken from Lexicomp (a medication database).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Stanford University 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 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 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?

Patients Experience Side Effects (time frame: Open). 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 16 Sep 2021.
