Summary: This trial will investigate whether patiens admitted with an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive lung disease and pulmonary hypertension will benefit from a targeted pharmacological treatment.
Summary: The investigators' central hypothesis is that early combination therapy with two PAH-specific oral therapies that have been shown to be well tolerated in the pediatric population, sildenafil and bosentan, will result in better World Health Organization (WHO) functional class at 12 months after initiation of PAH treatment than therapy with sildenafil alone.
Summary: The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of continuous positive pressure on resolution of high-altitude pulmonary edema vs high flow oxygen. The secondary objective is to derive an incidence of high-altitude pulmonary edema based on the elevation and timing from which the subject arrives. Additionally, in a convenience sample of the base study population, an ultrasound evaluation for the ...
Summary: The investigators have developed self-help booklets specifically for adults with PH who are experiencing difficulties with depression. The self-help booklets are based on a type of psychological treatment called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT for short. CBT looks at the way people think and what they do, and how this affects their mood. It involves making changes to thoughts and behaviours. ...
Summary: The objectives of the RELIEVE-PAH study are to obtain first-in-human experience with the study device in patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension, including evidence of initial safety, device performance and possible signals of clinical effectiveness.
Summary: Acorai is developing a non-invasive monitoring system for the estimation of intracardiac hemodynamic parameters in patients with suspected or confirmed heart failure, and/or pulmonary hypertension, who require hemodynamic assessment. The device will be intended as a companion test or clinical decision support tool to be used and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals to aid standard-of-...
Summary: Post COVID-19 pulmonary hypertension can develop as a result of lung parenchymal damage and altered pulmonary circulation induced by COVID-19 infection. It has been proposed that this type of PH should be considered a combination between PH of group 3 (due to interstitial fibrosis and alveolar inflammation) and 4 (induced by thrombotic/thromboembolic processes, endothelial injury, or, at least, hy...
Summary: This study is being conducted to assess the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of sotatercept in participants with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). This open-label, long-term follow-up (LTFU) study is supported by data from the PULSAR study (Phase 2, NCT03496207) in which treatment with sotatercept resulted in hemodynamic and functional improvements in the study participants, inclu...
Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of once daily oral inhalation dose of MK-5475 380 µg in participants 40 to 80 years (inclusive) with Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (PH-COPD). The primary hypothesis of the study is MK-5475, a soluble Guanylate Cyclase (sGC) stimulator is superior to placebo in increasing 6 Minute Walking...
Summary: This is a Phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sotatercept versus placebo in adults with Cpc-PH due to HFpEF. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of sotatercept versus placebo in adults with Cpc-PH due to HFpEF. Efficacy is measured by change from baseline in pulmonary vascular resistance (PV...
