Studying lung tissue to understand pulmonary hypertension
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be scheduled for lung surgery that will remove part of your lung.
- You must be enrolled in a social security plan (French health coverage).
- You must be able to understand the study information and agree to participate without objection.
- You must belong to one of the three study groups: with pulmonary hypertension, with chronic lung disease only, or with no lung disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This observational study is looking at people diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension to better understand how it behaves over time. You may help researchers by allowing repeated check-ins for years and sharing symptom and test information.
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with pulmonary hypertension (PH), a condition of high blood pressure in the lungs. The samples are used for research to better understand PH and possibly improve future treatments.
This study collects information from people with rare types of pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) and from healthy volunteers. It helps researchers better understand these conditions, especially using a special lung-heart test to confirm the diagnosis.
This study is testing whether a new risk score can better predict outcomes for people who have both chronic lung disease and pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). If you qualify, the researchers will follow your health over time to see how well the score works.
This study follows adults with pulmonary hypertension over the long term and collects information (and possibly samples) to better understand how the condition changes over time. It may help researchers learn what factors affect outcomes, which can improve care in the future.
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.
