About this study
Takayasu arteritis(TA) is a chronic progressive vasculitis predominantly affecting the aorta and its major branches. The demographic, clinical and prognostic features of Takayasu arteritis in China remains in uncertainties. Investigators aim to setup a national registration study for Takayasu arteritis, to observe the prevalence, clinical manifestations, natural history, survival, progression, diagnostic and therapeutic methods of the disease in China.
Read the detailed description
Objective: The study aims to investigate the demographic, clinical and prognostic features and to draw the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm of Takayasu arteritis in China.
Study Type: A national, multicenter, observational, ambispective cohort study.
Study Design: The cardinal contents of this registry study are as follows:
- Select representative clinical centers through typical sampling methods and train the local investigators in basic knowledge of Takayasu arteritis. Introduce the Electronic Data Capture System and train in completing case report forms.
- Collect demographic, clinical, imaging, laboratory, diagnostic and therapeutic information of Takayasu arteritis patients hospitalized from Jan 1st 2002 to now. Build a baseline database of Takayasu arteritis patients.
- Recruit new diagnosed Takayasu arteritis patients in future 2 years from 2017 or till reaching a total of 1067 registered patients.
- Gather the 3-month, 6-month, 1-year follow up information including general, clinical, therapeutic, prognostic data of all recruits and build up the follow-up database.
- Establish bio-bank for serum/plasma, urine, stool, tissues or cells.
Data management, quality control and statistic analysis: Electronic Data Capture System has been built and the investigators will manage and analyze data in align with key indicators. The investigators have invited professional statistic analysts to assist analyzing data and a third party to supervise data quality.
Ethics: The Ethics Committee of Fuwai Hospital approved this study and following ethical supports from participating centers are required. Informed consents before patient enrollment are required.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Takayasu Arteritis, run by China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases at 1 site in China.
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 4 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 25 Jan 2019. 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 China. 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?
Contact Luyun Fan, MD. (01088398249, katevan@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
prevalence rate (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 NCT03199183, which also lists 7 linked publications.
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 25 Jan 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
