About this trial

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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients must be diagnosed with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)

Patients must be willing to provide informed consent

Disqualifiers

Main cause of PH other than CTEPH

Participation in a therapeutic clinical trial with an unknown drug;

Withdrawal or lack of informed consent.

Trial population

Patients dianosed with CTEPH according to the contemporary guidelines

Trial design

Design model

Cohort

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • pulmonary endarterectomy or balloon pulmonary angioplasty

    Procedure/Surgery

    A multidisciplinary team make the final treatments for patients with CTEPH depending on their disease and preferences.

Treatment groups

1,500 Participants
are divided into 3 treatment groups
Group A: PEA cohort1 intervention
Group B: BPA cohort1 intervention
Group C: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-specific medication1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

death

all-cause death

Time frame
3 years
2

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).

mPAP, PVR, CO, and CI constitute critical parameters in hemodynamic assessments.

Time frame
3 years
3

The change in 6-minute walk distance in meter, in BNP or NT-proBNP in picograms per milliliter(pg/ml), or WHO-functional class.

The 6-minute walk distance, BNP or NT-proBNP levels, and WHO-functional class are parameters used in the evaluation of functional capacity.

Time frame
3 years

Secondary outcomes

1

lung or heart and lung transplantation

proportion of patients experiencing lung or heart and lung transplantation due to severe right heart failure during the study

Time frame
3 years
2

changes of health related quality of life

change of quality of life measured with the EQ-5D-5L or EmPHasis-10

Time frame
3 years

Other outcomes

1

bleeding

fatal bleeding, major bleeding, clinically relevant non-major bleeding, based on the ISTH definition

Time frame
up to 3 years
2

symptomatic recurrence of DVT or PE

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

Time frame
up to 3 years
3

complication of treatment interventions (PEA or BPA)

complications include lung injury, haemoptysis, residual pulmonary hypertension, etc.

Time frame
up to 3 years
