Summary: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, progressive, and potentially fatal disease characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricular dysfunction. Among the four major molecular pathways involved in PAH pathophysiology-nitric oxide, prostacyclin, activin, and endothelin-1 (ET-1)-the endothelin pathway plays a central role. Endothelin-1 acts on ETA and ETB recep...

Summary: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease characterized by vascular remodelling resulting in elevated pressures in the pulmonary artery (PA). This elevated pressure ultimately leads to fulminant right heart failure. Current therapeutic options are limited and are centred around vasodilatory medications such as phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors and prostacyclin. While these medica...

Summary: Researchers are looking for other ways to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Sotatercept is a study medicine that is designed to treat PAH. A past study, MK-7962-024 (LIGHTRAY) (NCT06664801), learned about the safety and effects of sotatercept in people with PAH. One of the goals of that study was to learn about sotatercept when given at a dose (amount) based on the weight range a person...

Summary: The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of continuous intravenous administration of low dose iloprost versus placebo for 72-hours, in 450 mechanically ventilated patients with infectious respiratory failure. The study hypothesis is that iloprost may be beneficial as an endothelial rescue treatment as it is anticipated to deactivate the endothelium and restore v...

Summary: This study is a multicenter, prospective, observational study aimed at investigating the efficacy and safety of triple targeted drug therapy in patients with arterial pulmonary hypertension (PAH) who are not at low risk and are receiving initial treatment. The prognosis of arterial pulmonary hypertension is explored.

Summary: This is a multi-center, perspective, and exploratory study aimed at evaluating the 3-years clinical outcome of Potts-shunt procedure for pediatric patients with severe pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). The included criteria are as followed: 1)6 months \< age ≤ 18 years; 2) ESC 2022 Group I PAH; 3) Have received standardized drug therapy for at least 6-9 months and still remain at intermediate t...

Summary: TripleTRE investigates the effect of initial triple combination therapy (oral endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) + oral phosphodiesterase tyüe-5 inhibitor (PDE-5i) + parenteral treprostinil) compared to double oral therapy (oral ERA + oral PDE-5i) in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients (group I) with intermediate-high risk or patients with intermediate-low risk with severe hemodynamic...

Summary: Prospective, monocentric, pathophysiological study, comparing 3 parallel groups: healthy controls; patients with diabetes and without DFU; patients with diabetes and with DFU. To address secondary objectives, samples from a fourth group will be collected.

Summary: The objectives of this study are to test the preliminary safety and efficacy of a two-day peri-operative course of treprostinil in reducing ischemia-reperfusion injury in adult patients receiving a deceased donor kidney transplantation. Treprostinil, a prostacyclin analog, is expected to facilitate the restoration of blood supply to the revascularized kidney graft via its vasodilatory actions, wel...

Summary: The study is aimed at assessing the role of the activity of markers of endothelial dysfunction (cytotoxic malonic aldehyde (MDA), angiotensin II, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NO), endothelin-1, prostacyclin) in the systemic circulation in patients with lower extremity atherosclerotic arterial occlusive disease undergoing open reconstructive interventions.
