Study of blood and skin changes in pulmonary hypertension
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how hormones, metabolism, and body signals relate to pulmonary arterial hypertension. You may be eligible if you (or a family member) have idiopathic, inherited, or related pulmonary arterial hypertension, and you can do required blood and other testing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have idiopathic, inherited, or related pulmonary arterial hypertension (or are a close family member of someone who does)
- Your age is between 0 and 90 for most parts of the study
- For skin biopsy, you must be between 12 and 90
- You can travel to the clinic easily for blood and other tests (for the blood-focused part of the study)
- You can tolerate fasting before sample collection and a test called EndoPAT

This study looks at how people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and certain genetic risks cope and how their bodies respond over time. It may help researchers understand factors linked to better or worse outcomes, and how different people manage the condition.
This study tests whether using a mobile health tool can help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) manage their condition in daily life. It’s aimed at adults who are stable on their PAH medicines and can track activity using a wearable device.
This study tracks natural changes in “biomarkers” (measurable signals in blood) and imaging findings in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or suspected PAH. It also includes healthy people for comparison, helping researchers understand what these signals mean over time.
This study looks at the genes that may be linked to pulmonary hypertension. By providing a saliva sample and filling out a health survey from home, you can help researchers learn more about this condition.
This study looks at lung tissue from surgery to learn how pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) develops in people with lung disease. The goal is to find better ways to diagnose and treat this condition.
This study looks at how environmental factors (like pollutants and lifestyle) may affect pulmonary hypertension. You will fill out questionnaires and provide a small hair sample to help understand these exposures.
