New risk score could predict survival in lung disease patients
NCT ID NCT07151768
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a new risk score called PVD-B65 can accurately predict who will survive for one year after being diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension related to chronic lung disease. Researchers will follow 100 adults and track deaths and other health changes. The score uses information from standard tests, so no extra procedures are needed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this risk score could help doctors better identify patients who need more aggressive monitoring or treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with only 100 participants. The score may not work as well in a broader group, and it does not test any new treatment.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Inclusion Criteria: * Eligibility criteria 1. Adult patients ≥ 18 years of age with chronic lung disease diagnosed via CT chest and/or PFT data and pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension diagnosed via right-heart catheterization (RHC, mPAP \> 20 mmHg, PVR \> 2 WU, and PCWP ≤ 15 mmHg) 1. Chronic lung disease diagnoses will include: COPD, IPF, other pulmonary fibrosis, non-fibrotic ILD, combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema, and advanced pulmonary sarcoidosis with parenchymal involvement 2. PFT criteria will include an FEV1/FVC \< 0.70 for the diagnosis of COPD 2. Willingness to make return visits and be available by telephone for the duration of the study. 3. Ability to participate in necessary testing, including ambulatory testing Exclusion Criteria: * Exclusion criteria 1. Patients with pulmonary hypertension but without associated chronic lung disease (i.e. idiopathic or group 1 PAH, PH with post-capillary component defined as PCWP \> 15 mmHg or group 2 PAH, CTEPH or group 4 PH, group 5 PH aside from sarcoidosis with parenchymal involvement) 2. Patients with uncontrolled severe systemic disease that could influence life expectancy (i.e. uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, active malignancy, etc.) 3. Prior lung and/or heart transplantation
