Filter by:This is a pilot study to assess the safety and efficacy of macitentan in patients with pulmonary hypertension of sickle cell disease. This study will enroll approximately 10 subjects. Study participation for each subject will last approximately 24 weeks from screening to end of treatment follow-up.
This is a multicenter, open-label trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled treprostinil in subjects with pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) including combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE). The study will include about 266 patients who completed all required assessments in the RIN-PH-201 study at approximately 100 clinical trial centers. The study will continue Your participation in this study is voluntary and will last until you discontinue from the study or the study ends. The study will continue until each subject reaches the Week 108 visit or until inhaled treprostinil become commercially available for patients with PH associated with ILD including CPFE (whichever is sooner).
This was a multicenter, randomized (1:1 inhaled treprostinil: placebo), double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled treprostinil in subjects with pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) including combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE). The study included 326 patients at approximately 120 clinical trial centers. The treatment phase of the study lasted approximately 16 weeks. Patients who completed all required assessments were eligible to enter an open-label, extension study (RIN-PH-202).
This multicenter, randomized, open-label study will assess the safety and efficacy of oral treprostinil in subjects diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension associated with pulmonary fibrosis.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a consequence of an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), pulmonary blood flow, pulmonary venous pressure, or a combination of these elements. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a frequent complication of congenital heart disease, particularly in patients with systemic-to-pulmonary shunts. Persistent exposure o f the pulmonary vasculature to increased blood flow and pressure may result in vascular remodeling and dysfunction. This leads to increased pulmonary vascular resistance and, ultimately, to reversal of the shunt and development of Eisenmenger's syndrome. It may be more appropriate to define pulmonary hypertension according to the ratio of MPAP to mean systemic arterial pressure (MPAP/MAP) because children may have a low mean systemic blood pressure. MPAP/MAP ratio of < 0.25 is normal, a ratio of 0.33-0.5 indicates moderate pulmonary hypertension, and a ratio of > 0.5 is indicative of severe pulmonary hypertension
The investigators are performing this research study to determine whether having low iron-sulfur cluster levels can cause a disease known as pulmonary hypertension (PH). PH is defined as abnormally high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. Usually, small specialized structures inside each human cell called mitochondria are in charge of generating energy within lung arteries for normal function. During situations of disease or stress, lung arteries undergo a change in the function of mitochondria, resulting in the development of PH. In studies on mice, investigators have learned that alterations in the production of specific metal complexes called iron-sulfur clusters are responsible for these changes. This makes it more likely that mice will develop PH. In this study, the investigators want to find out if alteration of iron-sulfur cluster formation leads to increased likelihood of developing PH in humans.
mTOR activation has been shown to be relevant in the development and progression of pulmonary hypertension. Inhibition of mTOR has been shown to reverse or regress pulmonary hypertension in animal models. ABI-009 is an albumin-bound mTOR inhibitor with improved penetration in lung tissue.
This is an observational prospective study aiming to clarify the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms and their prognosis. All patients attending our department with the above mentioned neoplasms will be offered inclusion in this study. All will have an echo performed and patients identified as being at risk of pulmonary hypertension will be offered complete investigation as specified by the European Cardiology Association. All patients will be followed up for a total of five years to identify prognosis.
The trial is a pilot study performed in the NICU's at Oslo University Hospital and Haukeland University Hospital preparing a multi-center randomized, controlled unblinded cross-over study, comparing high frequency ventilation (HFV) with and without volume guarantee (VG).
The RELAHP registry is a Latin-American multinational, multicenter, prospective observational registry-type cohort study, which pretends to identify clinical characteristics, clinical course, management and outcome of all forms of pulmonary hypertension (PH). All consecutively consented patients newly diagnosed with WHO Group I-V PH according to specific hemodynamic criteria on right heart catheterization at the participating centers will be enrolled. Patients will be followed six-monthly for a minimum of five years from the time of enrollment.
