About this study

Official title: Clinical and Echocardiographic Evaluation of Patients With Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is one of antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA) - associated vasculitis. Inflammation-induced thrombosis is considered to be a feature of systemic autoimmune diseases. GPA usually involves the upper and lower respiratory tract and renal systems, where necrotizing glomerulonephritis and pulmonary capillaritis are often detected. However, it may also affect other organ systems. Cardiac involvement in GPA occurs in approximately 6% to 44% of cases and is secondary to necrotizing vasculitis with granulomatous infiltrates. Cardiac involvement is an independent predictor of mortality in GPA patients. In this prospective cohort study, consecutive GPA patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Family Medicine, Internal and Metabolic Diseases at the Medical University of Warsaw in Poland are included. In all patients echocardiography and laboratory tests are perform.

Read the detailed description

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's; GPA) is an antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), which also includes microscopic polyangiitis and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome). GPA is characterized by granulomatous inflammation and necrotizing vasculitis predominantly affecting small- to medium-sized blood vessels and the presence of ANCA directed to specific antigens, particularly proteinase 3 (PR3-ANCA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO-ANCA). The destructive inflammatory processes of GPA have a predilection for the upper and lower airways and the kidneys, but any organs can be affected. An increased incidence of various cardiovascular events has been demonstrated among GPA patients. Cardiac involvement is also an independent predictor of mortality in GPA patients. In this prospective cohort study, consecutive GPA patients who are hospitalized in the Department of Family Medicine, Internal and Metabolic Diseases at the Medical University of Warsaw in Poland are included. All patients are diagnosed with GPA according to current guidelines. Patients are entered into the study at the time point when a new diagnosis of GPA was established and received initial treatment at our centre. Data collection included a full interim medical history, physical examination, laboratory studies and review of adverse events. Additionally, in all patients an echocardiography is performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis and Atherosclerosis, run by Medical University of Warsaw 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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 2018. 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?

Contact Anna Borowiec, PhD (+48225720913, ania_borowiec@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

death from any cause (time frame: from date of randomization until the death from any cause, up to december 2018). 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 20 Dec 2018.
