Filter by:This multicenter, open label, Phase 2a study is designed to evaluate the effect of inhaled RT234 delivered in a dose escalation manner on the change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in subjects with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) undergoing Right heart catheterization (RHC). This study is also known as Vardenafil Inhaled for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension PRN Phase 2a (VIPAH-PRN 2a) study
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease characterized by obliteration and remodeling of small-caliber pulmonary arteries, progressively generating an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, right heart failure, and death. Current guidelines recommend a multidimensional approach which includes clinical, echocardiographic, exercise and hemodynamic variables to classify patients by risk and thus define a prognosis and guide therapeutic decisions. There is a wide range of studies, which have shown a good correlation between standard echocardiography and portable cardiac ultrasound. There is no doubt about the usefulness of portable cardiac ultrasound in the intensive care unit, emergency department and even during hospital rounds; however, its usefulness during the daily examination in a follow-up consultation of patients at high risk of cardiovascular deterioration, such as patients with PAH, has not yet been demonstrated. There is evidence that a TAPSE measurement <17mm using standard echocardiography by a physician experienced in echocardiography predicts survival in patients with Pulmonary hypertension. We would like to know if patients with low TAPSE will have a higher proportion of morbidity events compared to patients with normal TAPSE measured by portable ultrasound.
In this study, hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI will be used to evaluate treatment efficacy in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Participants will be imaged at 4 timepoints (baseline, 6 weeks post-therapy initiation, 12 weeks, and 18 weeks). Images will be analyzed to develop new biomarkers and to understand treatment effects.
The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of a new procedure called Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion (FETO).
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, multinational study investigating the effect of riociguat (MK-4836) in patients with early pulmonary vascular disease.
Rationale: Nutrition and lifestyle interventions are currently not implemented in usual clinical care of PAH-patients. Mainly because there is little known on the relation between pathology, nutrition and lifestyle. Patients who suffer from Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension feel insecure about their nutrition and lifestyle. The investigators hypothesize that an intervention on nutrition and lifestyle can improve the patients' quality of life. Objective: To explore the effect of a nutrition and lifestyle intervention on quality of life for patients suffering from PAH. Study design: Investigator initiated intervention study with control group. Study population: investigators aim to include 70 patients (18 - 80 years) with idiopathic, hereditable or drug related PAH, who have been stable for at least three months and are self-sufficient and/or have a family who's willing to participate in the lifestyle changes. Intervention (if applicable): Nutritional status, - education, - intervention and - compliance. Main study parameters/endpoints: This is an intervention study in which the investigators will asses the effect of a nutrition and lifestyle intervention on quality of life measured by SF-36 overall outcome with a significant difference of 6.35. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The burden for the patient exists of 12 extra visits to the hospital and contact moments, over a period of 11 months, as well compliance to the diet and lifestyle. There is minimal risk in participation.
In this study, the effects of kettlebell exercise training on functional capacity, dyspnea and activities of daily living in patients diagnosed with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) will be investigated.
This is a Phase 2, parallel group study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and exploratory efficacy of 3 doses of CS1 in the treatment of PAH using the CardioMEMS HF System to obtain repeated measurements of PAP and other hemodynamic parameters. Elegible subjects will have a RHC to implant the CardioMEMS pulmonary artery (PA) Sensor followed by a Baseline Period for the subject to become familiar with the system, its measurements, how to send the data, and establish Baseline PA pressure. Alternately, the subject may already have the CardioMEMS HF System and is willing to have the system recalibrated in conjunction with RHC. Thereafter, the subject will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 total daily doses of CS1 1:1:1; there will be 10 subjects assigned to each dose level. Subjects will receive study drug treatment for 12 weeks. During the study, mPAP and other hemodynamic parameters from CardioMEMS PA Sensor will be measured and data captured once daily in the morning before the subject gets out of bed. The data will be transferred electronically to a repository. The analysis will look at the area under the curve (AUC) of mPAP and the doses will be compared to each other regarding change from Baseline. In addition to the CardioMEMS HF System measurements, the subjects will be followed for mortality and morbidity, important biomarkers as well as subjective, functional, and structural parameters of importance for PAH, for the duration of the study. Subjects will be enrolled for up to 22 weeks: a Screening Period of up to 2 weeks prior to the start of the Baseline Period, a Baseline Period of up to 6 weeks prior to Randomization, a Treatment Period of 12 weeks, and a Follow-up Period of 2 weeks. The primary objective of the study is to obtain safety and tolerability data.
To evaluate the effect of renal insufficiency on the pharmacokinetics of TPN171H tablets after single dose oral administration, so as to provide basis for formulating clinical medication plan for patients with renal insufficiency; To evaluate the safety of TPN171H tablets in patients with renal insufficiency and healthy subjects
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of early and rapid treprostinil therapy for mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) reduction to improve right ventricular (RV) function and reverse RV remodeling in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
