A Study for the Identification of Biomarker Signatures for Early Detection of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH)

Study Purpose

The primary purpose of this study is to identify and develop biomarker signatures based on circulating micro ribonucleic acid (RNA) in the blood samples associated with high risk of pulmonary hypertension (PH) to assist in the diagnosis of PH; to estimate the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the biomarker signatures in identifying participants with PH by comparing the biomarker signatures to right heart catheterization (RHC) and to compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the biomarker signatures with the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) in identifying participants with PH documented by RHC.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Interventional
Eligible Ages 18 Years and Over
Gender All
More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • - Having undergone an right heart catheterization (RHC) within 18 months (prevalent PH participants) or 6 months (prevalent non-PH participants) or have undergone or planned RHC within 6 weeks (incident participants).
The results of the incident RHC (incident participants) or the most recent RHC (prevalent participants) will be used to classify the participant in one of the above study population categories.
  • - Medically stable on the basis of physical examination, medical history and vital signs performed at screening.
Any abnormalities must be consistent with the underlying illness in the study population and this determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and initialed by the investigator.
  • - Must provide an Informed Consent Form (ICF) (or their legally acceptable representative must sign) indicating that he or she understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study.
  • - Must provide a separate informed consent (or their legally-acceptable representative must sign) if he or she agrees to provide an optional (deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA]) sample for research (where local regulations permit).
Refusal to give consent for the optional (DNA) research sample does not exclude a participant from participation in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Participants requiring renal dialysis.
- History of lung or heart transplant (waiting list status or consideration of enlisting is allowed) - Severe left ventricular dysfunction: Left ventricular ejection function less then (<) 35 percent (%)

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04193046
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Other: Participants with PH and non-PH

Blood samples will be collected for biomarker analysis from new (incident) and existing (prevalent) participants who undergo right heart catheterization (RHC). Participants will be categorized into non-PH or PH based on the results of the RHC and those who are found to have PH will be further classified into the different groups of PH. A transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) will be performed if not done previously.

Interventions

Other: - Blood Sample

Prevalent (existing) and incident (new) participants who are found to either have PH or not by RHC will provide blood sample for the establishment of a biomarker signature of PH.
