Study: Validating a New Nosebleed Management Tool
Cure HHT, in partnership with doctors at Johns Hopkins’ Hospital HHT Center of Excellence, invites you to participate in a study aimed at validating a nosebleed eDiary tool that represents a critical element in our ability to gain FDA approval for future drugs and treatments.
Currently, a standardized tool does not exist that helps accurately capture and scale HHT patients’ data around quality of life and impact of their nosebleeds (duration, frequency, severity, etc.). By participating in the validation of this tool…

Duke University, through a separate BVMC project, is collecting vascular malformations (VMs) associated with HHT to search for somatic mutations, possibly occurring in different genes than the ones already identified. All HHT patients undergoing surgery to remove an AVM from any organ (i.e., liver, lung, brain, skin, etc.), are encouraged to consider donating tissue. You do not need to have a brain AVM to participate in this study project.

The Rare Genomes Project is a patient-driven research project through the Broad Institute that performs full genome sequencing on families with suspected rare disease who do not have a genetic diagnosis. The goal of their project is two-fold: (1) provide access to testing for families that are genetically undiagnosed and (2) discover previously un-identified gene…

Cure HHT, along with HHT Centers of Excellence across North America, are now actively recruiting HHT patients worldwide to participate in the NIH funded study, entitled “Cerebral Hemorrhage Risk in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)”. The goal of this research is to determine what genetic and clinical factors signal high risk for hemorrhage from brain AVMs.…
