Biomarkers in Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease and PAH

Congenital Heart DiseasePulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Nowadays, biomarkers are broadly used in clinical practice. Blood-derived biomarkers fulfil an important role in the field of cardiology. However, most biomarkers have been investigated for adult left ventricular disease. In congenital heart diseases (CHD) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which involves children and mostly the right ventricle, less is known about the clinical and predictive value of blood-derived biomarkers. Since the group of survivors of CHD and PAH is growing because of the improved techniques nowadays, development of better tools to maintain the quality of life for the longer term in these patients is urgently needed. Blood-derived biomarkers are minimally invasive biomarkers, are quantitative and have shown to be able to reveal pathological processes in an early stage. Hence, blood-derived biomarkers may be a good addition to current diagnostic means in CHD and PAH. Objective: The primary objective of this study is to investigate cross-sectionally the association between various emerging blood-derived biomarkers and right ventricular (RV) function:defined as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) measured with echocardiography, in children with (a history of ) an abnormally loaded, volume and/or pressure loaded, right ventricle associated with CHD and/or PAH.

Long-term Study of AIR001 in Subjects With WHO Group 1 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Who Completed...

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

The AIR001-CS05 study evaluated the safety and efficacy (effectiveness) of AIR001 over 16 weeks in subjects who have PAH. The purpose of the AIR001-CS06 study is to evaluate the intermediate / long-term safety of AIR001 in subjects who have completed the AIR001-CS05 study. Assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of the study drug will include measurements of exercise ability and evaluations of PAH disease symptoms.

Safety Study of PLX-PAD Cells to Treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety of PLX-PAD to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). PLX-PAD is a cell-based product made of allogeneic Mesenchymal-like Adherent Stromal Cells (ASCs), derived from human full-term placentas following an elective caesarean section. This year-long study will evaluate the safety of three different dose levels of PLX-PAD, each given as a single intravenous infusion. This study will also evaluate effects that PLX-PAD may have on PAH, such as changes in the ability to exercise and on other tests used to measure the disease severity.

Therapy of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) - Treatment With Sildenafil in Eisenmenger Patients...

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)

Eisenmenger's syndrome presents as a severe clinical picture of polymorbidity that constitutes a great burden at the individual as well as the familial and social level. The combination of critically increased pulmonary vascular resistance, progressive pressure load of the right ventricle and disturbance of pulmonary gas exchange result in long-term polymorbidity. The objective of this study is to provide evidence of improvement of patients exercise tolerance as well as general conditions by treatment with oral sildenafil as a specific pulmonary vasodilator.

A Study With BPS-314d-MR-PAH-303 in Participants With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

This is a multi-center, open-label study for eligible participants who were actively participating in the BPS-314d-MR-PAH-302 double-blind study (NCT01908699) at the time the study was concluded. This open-label extension (OLE) study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of long-term treatment with esuberaprost sodium tablets (Beraprost Sodium 314d Modified Release tablets).

Pulmonary Artery Denervation for Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension is a rare condition that leads to right ventricular dysfunction and premature death. Only modest improvements of outcomes have been observed with the current available advanced specific drug therapy. Pulmonary hypertension advanced therapy is also expensive and leads to frequent adverse effects, sometimes serious. Results from a pilot study, the first-in-man experience of pulmonary artery denervation, demonstrated a clinical improvement in 13 patients with severe pulmonary hypertension despite optimal medical management. However this single non-randomized study requires confirmation. The investigators propose a prospective multi-center, randomized, single-blinded trial. Its main objective will be to assess, in patients with uncontrolled pulmonary hypertension despite optimal medical management, the efficacy of pulmonary artery denervation in reducing mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) at six months, compared to continued medical treatment following a simulated (sham) procedure. The principal evaluation criteria will be the mPAP change (in mm Hg) as measured by right heart catheterization. The study will run for 18 months and it will be necessary to recruit 50 patients. All adult patients (with the exception of pregnant women and individuals unable to receive an appropriate information and to give their free and informed consent) with uncontrolled pulmonary arterial hypertension despite optimal medical management will be invited to participate, in the absence of any exclusion criteria. The investigators will also measure changes in clinical, biological, echocardiographic and hemodynamic prognostic markers in both groups.

A Phase 2 Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of AIR001 in Subjects With Pulmonary Arterial...

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational/experimental drug called AIR001. To test the effectiveness, the study will evaluate how AIR001 affects the blood vessels in the lungs and the function of the heart. This will be done by monitoring changes in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR); from Baseline/Day 1 (start of study drug) to Week 16 of the study. PVR measures the resistance to flow in the blood vessels of the lungs. The study will include other assessments to evaluate the effect of the study drug on PAH, including measurements of exercise ability and evaluations of PAH disease symptoms.
