Filter by:This is phase III trial to evaluate whether edoxaban, a direct factor Xa inhibitor, is noninferior to warfarin in preventing worsening of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).
Treatment of O2 naïve patients with PAH will be included in this investigator-initiated trial (IIT) to assess efficacy and safety of oxygen substitution. Nocturnal oxygen substitution improved the 6MWD compared to placebo in one clinical trial in PAH patients. Due to the positive results in the treatment of patients with PAH, the initiation of this proof-of-concept study is justified.
Routine screening for Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) i after PE is not supported by current evidence and guidelines. This study aims to evaluate if a screening program for patients with acute PE based on telephone monitoring of symptoms and further examination if only symptomatic patients could help an early detection of CTEPH.
The International Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty (BPA) Registry is a prospective, multi-center, long-term observational project. Scheduled to start data collection in Q4 2017, the registry will run for approximately four years with a follow-up time for each patient of at least two years. Its primary objective is to investigate the efficacy and safety of BPA intervention in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) not amenable to pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA).
In this study the investigators will evaluate whether more careful reading (than the current standard) of routine computerised tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) performed in the clinical work-up of suspected (pulmonary embolism (PE) will differentiate patients with acute PE from those with more chronic or acute on chronic PE, which could be indicative of the presence of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)"
The New International CTEPH Database is a prospective, observational multi-center disease registry run by the International CTEPH Association (ICA), which will collect data in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) patients worldwide. The registry will run for approximately 5 years. Its objective is to provide an overview on epidemiology of CTEPH, mode of diagnosis and treatment approaches worldwide as well as determinants of long-term outcomes as measured by New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class and survival. The data collected will improve the knowledge and understanding of this condition, support the further development of diagnosis and treatment guidelines for patients with CTEPH, and contribute to improving patient care in the long-term.
Purpose of this study is to investigate whether and to what extent a cautious respiratory and movement therapy can complement medical treatment and the condition, oxygen uptake, quality of life, the pulmonary vascular pressures, the size of the right heart and the 6-minute walk distance in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
