Filter by:CS1-004 will be an extension of the CS1-003 Study. The primary objective of the CS1-004 study is to evaluate long-term safety and tolerability of continued treatment with CS1.
TripleTRE investigates the effect of initial triple combination therapy (oral endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) + oral phosphodiesterase tyüe-5 inhibitor (PDE-5i) + parenteral treprostinil) compared to double oral therapy (oral ERA + oral PDE-5i) in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients (group I) with intermediate-high risk or patients with intermediate-low risk with severe hemodynamic impairment at baseline in a prospective, randomized, unblinded setting with scope of increasing evidence for optimization of therapy concepts in PAH. The effect of initial triple combination therapy vs initial double oral therapy (standard of care (SoC)) will be measured by primary endpoint: (non)response to the assigned treatment.
Evaluate whether education, a simple doctor's recommendation to increase physical activity in inactive patients, and self-monitoring of physical activity using a pedometer were effective and beneficial for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)
This open-label extension study will evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of orally inhaled seralutinib in subjects who have completed a previous seralutinib study
Background. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a heterogeneous pathophysiological condition characterized by progressive pulmonary vascular narrowing that ultimately results in right-sided heart failure and eventually death or lung transplantation. The effectiveness of current pharmacological treatments is suboptimal and a large proportion of patients still had events or died despite receiving combination therapy. Vitamin D deficiency has been found to be much more frequent in PAH patients than in the general population or even compared to patients with other severe cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, vitamin D deficiency has a negative prognostic impact in PAH. Animal studies support that vitamin D deficiency worsens PAH. Hypothesis. In patients with PAH and vitamin D deficiency, restoration of vitamin D status with calcifediol improves their symptomatology and prognosis. Design: Multicenter clinical trial with the participation of 9 hospitals, placebo-controlled, randomized (1:1 ratio), in two parallel groups (without crossover), triple blind, and add-on on existing treatments (add-on). It will include at least 102 subjects (51 in the calcifediol group and 51 in the placebo group) followed for 24 weeks of treatment. Inclusion criteria: Patients of both sexes (18-75 years) with hemodynamic diagnosis of PAH and severe vitamin D deficiency (25-OHvitD <= 12 ng/ml) and without previous diagnosis of osteoporosis or osteomalacia. Treatments: 1) Calcifediol Hydroferol® 0.266 mg once every 10 days for the first 12 weeks and once every two weeks for the following 12 weeks. 2) Placebo. Main objective: A composite endpoint of clinical improvement without clinical worsening at week 24. Expected outcome: Restoration of vitamin D status is an unexpensive measure, very easily implantable and that could improve the evolution of the disease as well as other aspects such as bone or immune health and that has few side effects.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) worldwide. Treatment for PAH associated with CHD (PAH-CHD) depends on the defect's type, size, and hemodynamic impact. For those with CHD correction indications, early defect repair or interventional closure is crucial to prevent irreversible pulmonary vascular remodeling due to prolonged exposure to a left-to-right shunt. Current guidelines recommend triple-combination therapy, including phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, endothelin receptor antagonist, and parenteral prostacyclin, for patients with intermediate-high or high risk. Recent studies suggest that patients with PAH-CHD and borderline hemodynamics might regain eligibility for surgery after targeted vasodilatory treatment. Consequently, early initiation of triple-combination therapy may be critical for severe PAH-CHD patients to restore their surgical or interventional closure eligibility. Therefore, we conducted this prospective study to assess the effectiveness of triple-combination therapy in severe PAH-CHD cases.
Single dose oral bioequivalence study of Riociguat 2.5 mg film coated tablets and 'Adempas' (Riociguat) 2.5 mg Filmtabletten (film coated tablets) in healthy adult male subjects under fasting conditions.
Based on existing literature and clinical trials, 2- hydroxbenzylamine (2-HOBA) has clear impact on mechanisms that much of the international field of pulmonary hypertension (PH) research agrees are central to disease progression. The investigator's preliminary data and Phase I studies demonstrate not only a clear positive impact on reducing pulmonary vascular resistances in Group I and II PH, and both cytokine and molecular biomarkers of disease, but also indicated the potential for a substantial positive effect on heart function under load stress. In this Phase II project, investigators will test the safety and efficacy of 2-HOBA in PH patients, improving the function of the right ventricle under stress in a large animal model, and effectiveness in the context of standard-of-care in mouse models and large animals, to establish the remaining data needed to proceed to commercialization.
The objective of this experimental study is to conduct a comparative evaluation of the effects of a supervised Otago Exercise Program (OEP) functional exercise capacity, blood lactate levels, dyspnea, fatigue, peripheral muscle strength, functional mobility, balance performance, quality of life, sleep status, and comorbidities in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with congenital heart disease (CHD), as compared to a control group. The primary questions driving our study are: - Does the Otago Exercise Program contribute to an increase in functional capacity? - Does the Otago Exercise Program have positive effects on blood lactate levels, dyspnea, fatigue, peripheral muscle strength, functional mobility, balance performance, quality of life, sleep status, and comorbidities? The study participants will be randomly allocated into two groups (n = 50) using a randomized controlled design. The training group (n = 25) will undergo the Otago exercise program, supervised by a physiotherapist, conducted three days a week within a hospital setting for an 8-week intervention period. Following the initial assessment, a patient education session will be administered for the control group (n = 25) and all participants, providing information on disease pathophysiology and the benefits of physical activity. Evaluations will be conducted at baseline and post the 8-week intervention period. Our research project is designed to investigate the effectiveness of the supervised OEP in adults with CHD associated with PAH. Researchers will compare the training and control groups to determine the effects on functional capacity, blood lactate levels, dyspnea, fatigue, peripheral muscle strength, functional mobility, balance performance, quality of life, sleep status, and comorbidities.
The purpose of the study is to learn how the study medicine called PF-07868489 is tolerated and acts in healthy adult people and people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Part A: An investigator- and participant-blind, sponsor-open, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of PF-07868489 in healthy adult participants. Part B: A 24-week, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of PF-07868489 in adult participants with PAH.
