The main OBJECTIVE of this proposal is to extend our preclinical findings on the role of DNA damage and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP) inhibition as a therapy for a devastating disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), to early-phase clinical trials. We, and others, have published strong evidence that DNA damage accounts for disease progression in PAH and showed that PARP1 inhibition can reverse PAH in several animal models1. Interestingly, PARP1 inhibition is also cardioprotective. Olaparib, an orally available PARP1 inhibitor, can reverse cancer growth in animals and humans with a good safety profile, and is now approved for the treatment of ovarian cancer in Canada, Europe and the USA. The time is thus right to translate our findings in human PAH. The primary objective of this Phase 1B study is to confirm the safety of using olaparib in PAH patients, and precise the sample size of a future Phase 2 trial. In addition to safety, efficacy signals will thus be assessed.
In this trial the effects of the inhaled drug BAY1237592 will be studied in patients with high blood pressure in the pulmonary blood vessels due to Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) and due to Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH). Pulmonary hypertension is characterized by the elevation of pressure in the pulmonary arteries (PAP) and of the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) leading to increased workload of the right chamber of the heart to eject blood against this elevated resistance. The goal of this study is to measure the safety and tolerability of the drug as well as the reduction of the PVR at different doses In Part A patients without specific treatment for PH (untreated patients) will be tested. In Part B also patients stably pre-treated with specific PH drugs will be studied in combination with the new inhaled drug
This study of MK-5475 in participants with Group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) will assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of inhaled MK-5475. There is no formal hypothesis to be tested.
This study evaluates the effect of sotatercept (ACE-011) in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Each eligible participant will receive standard of care (SOC) plus sotatercept (ACE-011) for a 24-week treatment period, followed by an 18-month extension period, and an 8-week follow-up period.
The study aim is to monitor, during exercise tests carried out in various conditions, the alveolar dead space, by means of continuous transcutaneous measurement of Pt CO2, which would be used as a surrogate for arterial PaCO2. Validity of this measurement needs to be assessed against arterial sampling (either arterial, or arterialized capillary), especially with regards to the lag time required by the CO2 diffusion from the arterial compartment (PaCO2) to the cutaneous one (PtCO2), in particular when rapid changes of CO2 might be induced by exercise. The evaluation will be done in 2 different settings: - intensive care patients, equipped, for their routine clinical care, with an arterial line; this allows for a precise timed comparison between PaCO2 and PtCO2 readouts; - routine exercise test, where blood gas evaluation is done essentially by means of arterialized earlobe capillary sampling. Following assessment of validity of the measurement (and the lag time PaCO2-PtCO2 which might be necessary to introduce as a correction), evolution of dead space during excise test will be tested in different conditions: Healthy subjects, patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), chronic heart failure (CHF), hyperventilation, Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH), or interstitial lung disease (ILD)
This is a single centre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel staggered group study of BIA 5-1058 in 11 different cohorts of 15 healthy subjects. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive once-daily oral doses of BIA 5-1058 or matching placebo for 10 days. The primary objectives of the study are to assess the safety and tolerability of BIA 5-1058 after repeated ascending doses under fed and fasted conditions and to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIA 5-1058 after repeated ascending doses under fed conditions having matching fasting cohorts for comparison of bioavailability. It is planned that comparison cohorts will be dosed in parallel, i.e. Cohorts 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8 and 9 and 10. Cohorts may be split or dosed sequentially for logistical purposes; however, data from both comparison cohorts (e.g. Cohorts 1 and 2) must be available before dose escalation to the next dose levels.
Aim of the study is to compare novel parameters of right ventricle (RV) function from right heart catheterization (RHC) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with PET-derived RV FDG uptake.
Study ROR-PH-303, ADVANCE EXTENSION, is an open-label extension (OLE) study for participants with WHO Group 1 PAH who have participated in another Phase 2 or Phase 3 study of ralinepag.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease characterised with significant morbidity and poor prognosis. Dyspnoea and impaired exercise capacity are very common manifestations of the disease, and result in significant impairment of patients' quality of life. Although hypoxemia is common among subjects with PAH, published data on the effects of supplementary oxygen therapy on specific clinical outcomes among these patients are currently few, while the existing data on the potential benefits of oxygen supplementation to treat exercise-induced hypoxemia, in this patient population, are even more controversial. Based on the aforementioned, the purpose of this prospective, crossover clinical trial is to investigate the acute effects of supplemental oxygen administration on the: a) exercise capacity, b) severity of dyspnea, c) cerebral oxygenation, b) muscle oxygenation, and e) hemodynamic profile, as compared to delivery of medical air (sham oxygen), in a group of patients with PAH, during steady state cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)
