Filter by:The primary objectives of this study are to determine whether the study drug, anastrozole may improve six minute walk distance at six months compared to placebo and to assess safety and side effects up to twelve months in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
The Opsumit Users registry (OPUS; NCT02126943) was developed to characterize the safety profile of Opsumit and to describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients newly treated with Opsumit in the post-marketing setting. It is expected that the recruitment target of the OPUS registry cannot be achieved within the planned time period (5000 Opsumit new users by October 2018). The OrPHeUS study is designed to supplement the OPUS registry with retrospectively identified first-time Opsumit users in order to achieve the desired sample size.
The development of selexipag for intravenous administration will be useful to avoid treatment interruptions in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) already treated with selexipag administered orally as tablets (Uptravi®). The target population for intravenous selexipag includes those PAH patients who are hospitalized and are unable to swallow tablets of Uptravi. The primary objective of this study is to assess whether it is safe for patients with PAH to temporarily change from selexipag tablets (Uptravi®) to selexipag given directly into a vein (intravenous selexipag), and then switching back to the initial oral dose of selexipag.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disorder of elevated pulmonary vascular resistance characterized by progressive remodeling and obliteration of vessels of the distal pulmonary circulation. Outcomes in PAH could be improved with earlier diagnosis, and with the early deployment of therapies before irreversible changes have occurred. This study tests the sensitivity of positron emission tomography (PET)-CT scanning with [89Zr]-bevacizumab, a radioisotope-conjugated anti-VEGF antibody for detecting pulmonary vascular remodeling in PAH disease. This test could enable non-invasive diagnosis early in the course of the disease, and potentially improve outcomes in PAH,
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension or PAH is a progressive condition for which there is no cure. Even with substantial pharmacologic advances in the modern treatment era, survival still remains unacceptably poor, as reported in large PAH registries. Preclinical studies suggest that the administration of allogeneic CDCs have the potential to reduce adverse arteriolar remodeling in PAH which was the basis for the approved investigational new drug (IND). The use of CDCs as an adjunctive therapy in patients comprising 4 sub-groups of patients with PAH in which inflammation and immune dysfunction are key pathophysiologic drivers of PAH.
To assess the correlation between pulmonary IV-OCT and pulmonary IV-US measurements and standard PAH clinical measures of disease progression and the relative sensitivity of the techniques to change.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of selexipag on the physical activity of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in their daily life, by using a wearable wrist device (actigraph). The actigraph will collect data on daily life physical activity in the patient's real environment. In addition, the PAH symptoms and their impacts will be assessed by using an electronic patient reported outcome measure in the patient's real environment. Patients will be assigned randomly to either selexipag or placebo.
This study proposes the use of a mobile health intervention (utilizing a smart phone app) to encourage increased exercise in PAH patients. The study will be a randomized trial to examine feasibility of an mHealth (mobile device) Fitbit Charge HR and cell phone application intervention to improve step counts and increase participants activity level as compared to no intervention. The Fitbit Charge Heart Rate (HR) monitors activity and the cell phone application provides encouragement notifications to half the subjects while the other half do not receive encouragements.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) can result in right ventricular failure and death. Anakinra has been used in patients with left sided heart failure, and the present study looks to determine if anakinra is safe and effective in patients with PAH. To accomplish this goal, we plan to evaluate for exercise improvement (as assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing) in 10 patients with PAH on anakinra.
This was an open-label extension of Study RIV-PH-402, TRUST-1: Treprostinil for Untreated Symptomatic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) Trial. Subjects who completed Study RIV-PH-402 were eligible to enroll.
