Examining the role of hypoxia in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
Official title: Influence of Hypoxic Induced Factors in Patients With Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)
Run by University Hospital, Essen · NCT04469517 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at how low oxygen levels might affect people with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and how it could change the way the disease develops.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are individuals diagnosed with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia who are over 17 years old and able to provide consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not meet the diagnostic criteria for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia or are younger than 17 years may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study investigates the influence of hypoxic induced factors on patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a genetic disorder characterized by systemic vascular malformations. It aims to understand how environmental factors, particularly hypoxia, may contribute to the disease's progression and severity. The study will analyze patients diagnosed with HHT to explore the relationship between hypoxia and angiogenesis, which is crucial for understanding the underlying mechanisms of the condition.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better understanding and management strategies for patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific focus on hypoxic induced factors in HHT is novel, similar studies exploring environmental influences on genetic conditions have shown promising results.
