Clinical Trial Summary

A trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and functionality of 3P-100, in subjects with Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) accompanying Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), PH-ILD

Description:

This is a multi-center early feasibility study evaluating the safety and tolerability of the 3P-100 device which creates and delivers iNO (2 mg/hr and 6 mg/hr) for the treatment of subjects with PH-ILD. All subjects will use the 3P-100 device and receive iNO (2 mg/hr and 6 mg/hr) via the 3P-100 device, aiming for ~4-4.5 hours of treatment across both device settings.

3. History or diagnosis of acute or chronic left heart failure at any time as evidenced

by one or more of the following:

1. PCWP > 15 mmHg on a previous RHC (unless LVEDP is =15 mmHg) AND/OR LVEDP >15 mmHg by left heart catheterization

5. Cerebrovascular accident within the 60 days prior to SV

6. Has within 30 days prior to SV or during the Screening period

1. Participated in any clinical study involving an investigational drug, investigational biologic, or investigational device

2. Required unplanned hospitalization for any reason

3. Had an exacerbation of ILD requiring administration of oral or parenteral antibiotic

7. Has within the 30 days prior to SV or during the Screening period required initiation or changes in the regimen (including agents, dose, and frequency) of medications prescribed for the treatment of ILD, including but not limited to immunosuppressive / immunomodulatory medications, systemic oral or parenteral corticosteroids, and monoclonal antibodies

8. Has within 30 days prior to SV, or any time during Screening period taken one or more

of the following medications or supplements chronically:

1. Oral, inhaled, or parenteral medications for the treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) irrespective of the route of administration including, but not limited to,

• high dose calcium channel blockers
• riociguat
• prostacyclins
• prostacyclin analogues
• prostacyclin receptor agonists (e.g., selexipag)
• phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil) if the subject is on inhaled treprostinil
• endothelin receptor antagonists

2. Inhaled treprostinil (approved for PH-ILD), if the subject is on a PDE5 inhibitor for PH-ILD Note: Inhaled treprostinil is not exclusionary as a monotherapy, however, the concurrent use of both a PDE5 inhibitor (e.g., sildenafil) and inhaled treprostinil is exclusionary. The use of either a PDE5 inhibitor or inhaled

treprostinil will be allowed if both conditions are met:

• The PDE5 inhibitor or inhaled treprostinil was started more than 30 days prior to the SV.
• There have been no changes in the PDE5 inhibitor or inhaled treprostinil dosage within 30 days prior to the SV.
