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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: One hundred patients with idiopathic, heritable, drug-induced, connective tissue disease-associated, porto-pulmonary or HIV-associated disease were enrolled. At the diagnosis visit, mean±SD age was 59±12 years, 56% of the patients were women and most patients were in World Health Organization/New York Heart Association (WHO/NYHA) Functional Class III or IV.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with confirmed diagnosis of PAH or CTEPH, referred to the medical department of the investigators
  • Patient with acute right heart failure defined by at least 2 of the following clinical features: worsening of peripheral oedema, development or increase of ascites, weight gain of more than 2.5 kg in 1 week preceding the visit and decline in one NYHA functional class compared to the previous stable state

Who cannot join

  • 1) Patients with another cause of pulmonary hypertension than PAH or CTEPH, either groups 2, 3 or 5 of the current clinical classification of pulmonary hypertension

About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Prognostic Value of the Estimation of Plasma Volume or Its Variation in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) or Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) After Acute Right Heart Failure

Assessment of the prognostic value of the estimation of plasma volume or its variation in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) after acute right heart failure.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to show that a low plasma volume status, assessed by the Strauss (estimated plasma volume variation) and the Duarte (instantaneous estimated plasma volume) formulas evaluated during acute right heart failure in patients presenting with PAH or CTEPH, is associated with better long-term outcomes.

Optimization of plasma volume is important for patients with PAH and CTEPH and constitutes a prognostic factor. However, plasma volume status can be difficult to assess in clinical practice. Different formulas have been developed and have shown interest in patients with congestive heart failure with an association between plasma volume estimation and long-term prognosis.

Acute right heart failure may occur in patients with PAH and CTEPH. Thus, the investigators plan to study the prognostic value of these formulas evaluating plasma volume, in patients with PAH or CTEPH, after acute right heart failure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, 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 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 17 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Survival (time frame: From the first visit to 1st April 2023). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 May 2023.
