Change-a Multi-center Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension （CTEPH） Database in China

January 20, 2024 updated by: Zhenguo Zhai,MD,PhD, China-Japan Friendship Hospital

A Chinese Real-world Study to Investigate the Management Pattern and Outcomes of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CHANGE Study)

The Change Database is a prospective, observational multi-center disease registry, which will collect data on patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in China. It aims to illustrate the epidemiology, management and long-term outcomes of CTEPH.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

18 CTEPH centers will be enrolled in the study. The epidemiology, diagnosis，treatments (pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and targeted medical therapy), and long-term prognosis of CTEPH will be evaluated.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients dianosed with CTEPH according to the contemporary guidelines

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients must be diagnosed with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)
  2. Patients must be willing to provide informed consent
  3. Patients must meet the following criteria for CTEPH:

a mean pulmonary artery pressures (mPAP) ≥20 mmHg combined with a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) ≥ 3 WU and pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP)≤ 15 mmHg documented at right heart catheterization with radiographic evidence of organized thrombi involving the pulmonary arteries after 3 months of effective anticoagulation.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Main cause of PH other than CTEPH
  2. Participation in a therapeutic clinical trial with an unknown drug;
  3. Withdrawal or lack of informed consent.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
death
Time Frame: 3 years
all-cause death
3 years
The change in mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) in millimetre of mercury (mmHg), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in Wood units, cardiac output (CO) in liter per minute (L/min) or cardiac index (CI) in liter per minute (L/min).
Time Frame: 3 years
mPAP, PVR, CO, and CI constitute critical parameters in hemodynamic assessments.
3 years
The change in 6-minute walk distance in meter, in BNP or NT-proBNP in picograms per milliliter（pg/ml), or WHO-functional class.
Time Frame: 3 years
The 6-minute walk distance, BNP or NT-proBNP levels, and WHO-functional class are parameters used in the evaluation of functional capacity.
3 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
lung or heart and lung transplantation
Time Frame: 3 years
proportion of patients experiencing lung or heart and lung transplantation due to severe right heart failure during the study
3 years
changes of health related quality of life
Time Frame: 3 years
change of quality of life measured with the EQ-5D-5L or EmPHasis-10
3 years

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
bleeding
Time Frame: up to 3 years
fatal bleeding, major bleeding, clinically relevant non-major bleeding, based on the ISTH definition
up to 3 years
symptomatic recurrence of DVT or PE
Time Frame: up to 3 years
reappearance of clinical manifestations or symptoms associated with DVT or PE after a previous episode or treatment, include leg pain, swelling, warmth, redness, or shortness of breath,etc
up to 3 years
complication of treatment interventions (PEA or BPA)
Time Frame: up to 3 years
complications include lung injury, haemoptysis, residual pulmonary hypertension, etc.
up to 3 years

For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
