Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension"

COMPASS-2 is a Phase 4, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven study evaluating the effect of bosentan on the time to first confirmed morbidity/mortality event in patients with symptomatic PAH already receiving sildenafil therapy. Patients must have been receiving doses of sildenafil equal to or greater than 20 mg t.i.d. for at least 12 weeks prior to being randomized. The study continued until the predefined target number of morbidity/mortality events was reached.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of Iloprost in subjects that have Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension who are concurrently taking bosentan (Tracleer TM).

This study is an international, open-label, multi-center, Phase II, multiple dose, dose-finding study to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic characteristics of BPS-MR tablets in male and female patients with PAH. Patients who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will enter the Treatment Phase at a Baseline visit. Patients will begin taking one BPS-MR tablet (60µg) twice daily (b.i.d.) escalating by one tablet b.i.d. each week to a maximum dose of 600µg (ten tablets) b.i.d or until the patient reaches their MTD. Following the achievement of the MTD, patients will be down-titrated off BPS-MR in weekly one tablet b.i.d. decrements. Patients may, alternatively, elect to continue taking the study drug at their MTD in a separate open-label extension study.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of open-label fluoxetine for three months among patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

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 look into the effects of medium-term pulmonary pressure-lowering treatment with oral bosentan in patients with congenital heart defects and clinically relevant pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), taking advantage of extensive diagnostic procedures.

This is a clinical research study designed to evaluate sildenafil for the treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in children, aged 1 to 17 years. The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of 16 weeks of chronic treatment with oral sildenafil given in three different doses, compared to placebo (inactive treatment). Efficacy will be measured by exercise and hemodynamics. Patients who complete this trial may be eligible to take part in an extension study, in which all patients will receive active treatment of sildenafil.

Experimental data suggest that transplantation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) attenuates monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension in rats and dogs. In addition, clinical studies suggest that autogolous progenitor cells transplantation is feasible and safe in patients with ischemic disease. This study will investigate the feasibility, safety, and initial clinical outcome of intravenous infusion of autologous EPCs in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.

This multicenter, open label, single-arm study is aim at investigating the the efficacy and safety of china made ambrisentan in Chinese subjects with PAH.

To evaluate the effect of renal insufficiency on the pharmacokinetics of TPN171H tablets after single dose oral administration, so as to provide basis for formulating clinical medication plan for patients with renal insufficiency; To evaluate the safety of TPN171H tablets in patients with renal insufficiency and healthy subjects

Study A011-09 is designed to assesses the efficacy and safety of sotatercept (ACE-011) relative to placebo in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Eligible participants will receive study treatment for 24 weeks during the placebo-controlled treatment period, and then will be eligible to enroll into a 30-month extension period during which all participants will receive sotatercept. All treated patients will also undergo a follow-up period after last study drug treatment.
