Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the mid-term treatment with sildenafil in patients with persistent moderate or severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) after a heart valve intervention.


Clinical Trial Description

Phase IV, prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, academically funded clinical trial, with 6 months follow-up. A total of 354 patients will be recruited. Inclusion criteria are: 1) successful surgical or percutaneous repair of a cardiac valve at least one year before screening and 2) persistent moderate or severe PH, and 3) absence of any residual significant valvular lesion. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to received sildenafil 40 mg t.i.d. or placebo. The primary endpoint is a clinical composite score combining: all-cause mortality, hospital admission for heart failure, World Health Organization (WHO) functional class, and the patient global assessment score. Additional clinical and mechanistic secondary end-points are defined. ;
