Study summary

Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler's disease, is a genetic disorder that leads to abnormal blood vessel formations. It primarily affects blood vessels in the skin, mucous membranes, and internal organs. The disease can be clinically diagnosed using the Curaçao criteria (1. Positive family history of HHT, 2. Recurrent and spontaneous epistaxis, 3. Multiple typical telangiectasias, 4. Organ involvement with vascular malformations, especially in the liver, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, or brain); if a patient meets at least 3 criteria, the diagnosis of HHT can be established.

Patients with HHT often have telangiectasias on their faces. Additionally, many patients suffer from anemia, which can result in a pale and potentially tired appearance. Patients with HHT may be less satisfied with their appearance due to the aesthetic changes in their faces and may also experience psychosocial impairment. To further investigate this, various validated questionnaires (FACE-Q©, PROMIS-Profile-29+2, EQ5D), as well as routinely collected clinical data (e.g., laboratory values including hemoglobin levels, Curaçao criteria, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and the Epistaxis Severity Score (ESS)) will be used.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jan 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2025, 23 months after the start.

Of 23 observational studies under Telangiectasia, Hereditary Hemorrhagic, half reached primary completion within 56 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 36 and three quarters within 184. This study's planned 23 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 30, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
