Safety and Efficacy of Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty in China

Study Purpose

Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is a potential treatment for non-operable patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BPA in CTEPH patients not amenable to pulmonary endarterectomy(PEA) or suffered from persistent CTEPH after PEA.

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.	Observational [Patient Registry]
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

2. Treatment with anticoagulation for ≥ 3 months before diagnosis of CTEPH. 3. Not amenable to pulmonary endarterectomy. 4. Willing to provide informed consent.

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.	NCT04206852
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.

Additional Details

This study is a prospective, multi-center, long-term observational project to study the safety and efficacy of BPA. Clinical evaluation, including: functional capacity, 6-minutes walking test, biomarkers, cardiopulmonary exercise test, electrocardiography, echocardiography, haemodynamics, pulmonary angiography and lung scintigraphy was performed before the initiation therapy of BPA, and 3-12 months after last session of BPA. we also aim to evaluate the value of FAPI in predicting the efficacy and the prognosis of patients with CTEPH who received BPA.
