  • Research summary


    The purpose of this prospective observational study is to have a better understanding of the natural history and clinical management of AHP (acute hepatic porphyria) as part of routine care. This protocol will not recommend the use of any specific treatments, visits, or procedures. No medication is provided as part of registry participation.
    Patients are expected to contribute data for the duration of the registry or until study discontinuation (eg, due to death, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, enrollment in a clinical trial with an investigative treatment during the study). Registry data will be collected at the time of a routine clinical encounter or by referencing the medical record and entered in to the electronic data capture (EDC) at least once every 12 months using electronic case report forms (eCRFs).Porphyria attacks will be collected for the period of 12 months prior to study enrollment and during follow-up including the following: number of porphyria attacks; duration and treatment for each attack (if available); location of care (eg, hospital, urgent healthcare, home).
    Approximately 150 people with AHP will be included in this study at several different study centres internationally. There will be about 25 study centres participating worldwide.
