Active clinical trials for "Familial Primary Pulmonary Hypertension"

This study aimed to investigate the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on peripheral muscles and other physical and psychosocial variables in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. This study was designed as an assessor-blind randomized controlled trial. Thirty-one patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension will be recruited. The participants will randomly divided two parallel groups as treatment and control. For the treatment group, neuromuscular electrical stimulation will be applied to the bilateral deltoid and quadriceps femoris muscles with 50 Hz for 3 days/week, 8 weeks. Control group will not be received any additional treatment, just given healthy life recommendations such as walking. The participants will be assessed before and after the treatment by a blind assessor to the group allocation. The outcome measure will be assessments of the upper and lower limb muscle strength, respiratory muscle strength, muscle cross-sectional area and thickness, pulse wave velocity, exercise capacity, walking speed, functional mobility and balance performances, balance confidence, fatigue perceptions, physical activity level, activities of daily living and quality of life.

This is a Phase 1B, randomized, participant- and investigator-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical trial to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and biomarkers of inhaled GB002 in adults with World Health Organization (WHO) Group 1 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).

The objective of this randomized control trial is to gain clinical insight on the use of pulmonary artery denervation (PADN) for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The primary objective is to assess effectiveness and safety of PADN for the treatment of PAH.

Exploring the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of oral TPN171H tablets in patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension under continuous multiple administration conditions, providing a basis for determining the administration plan and recommended dosage in phase II clinical study.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease where the blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries (PAP) is high. PAH increases the risk of adverse events, including death, during and or after procedures. The severity of baseline PAH correlates with the incidence of major complications, such that those with PAP higher than their systemic blood pressure (SBP) had a 8 fold increased risk of complications. These children present for procedures where an acute exacerbation of their chronic illness-termed Pulmonary Hypertensive (PH)crisis, can occur, often resulting in death if not detected and managed expeditiously. Unfortunately there is little data and no consensus in the pediatric literature on how PH crisis should be managed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension or PAH is a progressive condition for which there is no cure. Even with substantial pharmacologic advances in the modern treatment era, survival still remains unacceptably poor, as reported in large PAH registries. Preclinical studies suggest that the administration of allogeneic CDCs have the potential to reduce adverse arteriolar remodeling in PAH which was the basis for the approved investigational new drug (IND). The use of CDCs as an adjunctive therapy in patients comprising 4 sub-groups of patients with PAH in which inflammation and immune dysfunction are key pathophysiologic drivers of PAH.

This study provided/continued to provide oral treprostinil (UT-15C SR; treprostinil diethanolamine) to eligible subjects who participated in Studies TDE-PH-202, TDE-PH-203, TDE-PH-205, TDE-PH-301, TDE-PH-302, and TDE-PH-308. The study assessed the long term safety of oral treprostinil and the effect of continued treatment with oral treprostinil on exercise capacity after 1 year of treatment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of QTI571 (imatinib) on pharmacokinetics of bosentan and sildenafil at steady state when co-administered to participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by the progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance leading to shortness of breath and exercise intolerance. Exercise capacity has been used as the primary endpoint in most recent randomized controlled trials evaluating PAH-specific therapies as it correlates with functional class and survival in PAH. Exercise test is commonly assessed by the six-minute walk test (6MWT). However, there is commonly some discrepancy between significant clinical improvement and minor changes (generally <10% from baseline) in 6WMT following therapy. Because important clinical decisions are based on patients' functional capacity, a reproducible and sensitive exercise test is needed in PAH. The aim of this study was to compare the reproducibility and the responsiveness of the 6MWT, the endurance shuttle walk test (ESWT) and the cycle endurance test (CET) following pharmacological therapy in this disease.
