About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female aged ≥ 18 years
  • Current diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (updated Dana Point Classification 1).
  • Current inhalative therapy with 5 µg iloprost using the I-Neb nebulizer
  • WHO functional class III at the time of the patient's commencement of inhalative therapy with iloprost

  • If non-specific types of chronic treatment for PAH are being administered: Stable dosage of these for at least the 4 weeks up to screening

Exclusion Criteria:

  • PAH related to any other etiology, especially to pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD)
  • Clinically relevant obstructive lung disease
  • Evidence of thromboembolic disease (probable pulmonary embolism) within 3 years before screening

  • Severe arrhythmia, or severe coronary heart disease or unstable angina, or myocardial infarction within 6 months before screening, or congenital or acquired valvular defects with clinically relevant myocardial function disorders unrelated to PAH
  • Systolic blood pressure < 85 mm Hg, or uncontrolled systemic hypertension (systolic BP > 160 mmHg or diastolic BP > 100 mmHg)

  • Clinically relevant bleedings disorders or conditions with increased risk for hemorrhages (active ulcers, trauma etc.)
  • Addition or dose change of PAH specific drug treatments such as ERA or PDE5 inhibitors within 3 months before screening, or addition or dose change of non-specific treatments for PAH such as calcium channel blockers, nitrates, digitalis, diuretics within 4 weeks before Screening, or any kind of prostanoid other than those mentioned in inclusion criteria within less than 5 half-lives before treatment

Arm Description

Part 1: Subjects received single inhalation of 1.25 mcg iloprost using 10 mcg/ml iloprost solution (Ventavis 10) and then 2.5 mcg iloprost using Ventavis 10, both using the FOX nebulizer on Day 1. Part 2: On Day 2, subjects received single inhalation of 5 mcg iloprost using Ventavis 10 with the I-Neb nebulizer; followed by single inhalation of 5 mcg iloprost using 20 mcg/ml iloprost solution (Ventavis 20) with the FOX nebulizer in a cross-over fashion. A washout period of at least 2 hours was maintained between treatments in Part 1 and Part 2. Part 3: Continued on Day 2, and through until Day 30, subjects received multiple inhalations (approximately 6 to 9 inhalations per day) of 5 mcg iloprost using Ventavis 10 with the I-Neb nebulizer for 2 weeks; followed by multiple inhalations (approximately 6 to 9 inhalations per day) of 5 mcg iloprost using Ventavis 20 with the FOX nebulizer for 2 weeks in a cross-over fashion.
