Research

Mayo Clinic researchers are studying how HHT affects the nose, brain, lungs, digestive tract and liver. They're also assessing the role of anti-angiogenic medicines. These medicines keep blood vessels from forming and manage serious HHT-related bleeding. They include bevacizumab (Avastin), given through a vein. They also include medicines taken by mouth such as pazopanib (Votrient), pomalidomide (Pomalyst) and tacrolimus (Prograf, Protopic, others).

Mayo Clinic has been recruiting people for the Brain Vascular Malformations Consortium (BVMC) study. Mayo Clinic also is recruiting for a biorepository of patient blood samples that can help researchers find better diagnostic, prognostic and treatment options for this rare disease.
