Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension"

A double-blinded, placebo-controlled study of Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) in 34 Systemic Sclerosis-Pulmonary Hypertension (SSc-PAH) patients. The study will determine safety and the primary outcome variability for DMF in treating SSc-PAH; the primary outcome of clinical efficacy in this pilot trial will be improvement in 6-minute walk distance (6MWD).

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) of study CXA-10-301, to evaluate the long term safety and efficacy of daily dosing of CXA-10.

Phase 3, placebo controlled, double-blind, randomized clinical study to determine safety, tolerability, and efficacy of pulsed, inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) versus placebo in symptomatic subjects with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Part 1 and Part 2

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.

This study was an extension to study CQTI571A2102 and was to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of QTI571 (imatinib) in severe pulmonary arterial hypertension patients.

The purpose of this trial was to establish the safety, tolerability and PK of nilotinib in this population and to test the hypothesis that 6 months treatment with nilotinib will significantly reduce pulmonary artery resistance.

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.

Study will assess PF-00489791 efficacy and safety in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether aspirin and simvastatin are safe and effective for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

As sitaxsentan is the agent most highly selective for ETA (Endothelin Type A (receptor)), and does not significantly impact sildenafil pharmacokinetics the combination of most promise for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapy is these two oral drugs administered in combination.
