Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Consecutive patients with advanced lung diseases referred for lung transplantation. All patients underwent examinations as potential candidates for lung transplantation, including laboratory testing, pulmonary function tests, exercise capacity, echocardiography examination, and right heart catheterization. Evaluation for lung transplantation was performed during clinically stable periods in all patients on optimal medical and oxygen therapy.

Who may be able to join

  • advanced lung disease
  • qualification for lung transplantation
  • written informed consent
  • pulmonary capillary wedge pressure < 15 mmHg

Who cannot join

  • cancer,
  • history of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension,
  • primary valvular heart diseases,
  • coronary artery disease,
  • collagen vascular disease,
  • history or evidence of left ventricular dysfunction,

  • atrial fibrillation,
  • increased liver enzyme levels ( 3 times the upper laboratory limit),
  • renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min/1.73m2)
  • patients who didn't write the personal informed consent
  • any specific therapy for PH.

About this study

Official title: Predictors and Survival in Pulmonary Hypertension Associated With Severe Lung Disease

First, the aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of echocardiographic parameters for detecting pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with advanced lung disease referred for lung transplantation. Second, to assess the prevalence of PH and to identify which hemodynamic, echocardiographic, pulmonary functional test, exercise capacity and biochemical parameters (especially NT-proBNP) have an impact on survival in a cohort of patients with severe lung diseases referred for lung transplantation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Silesian Centre for Heart Diseases at 1 site in Poland.

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 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2020. 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 Poland. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Survival after the initial right heart catheterization (RHC) measurements (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT02777957, 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 27 May 2020.
