Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for people with advanced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) to see if a combination of two drugs is more effective than one alone. Participants will receive treatment as directed by their pulmonary hypertension specialist.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Rules you out Severe restrictive lung diseaseObstructive lung diseaseHeart failure with preserved ejection fractionPulmonary veno-occlusive diseaseLife-threatening disease with life expectancy under 12 monthsModerate to severe hepatic impairment

You may be able to join if

  • I have been diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
  • I have a resting mean pulmonary arterial pressure of 25 mmHg or higher.
  • My wedge pressure is 15 mmHg or lower during right heart catheterization.
  • My doctor has determined that I need parenteral Treprostinil.

You may not be able to join if

  • I have a mean arterial pressure below 60.
  • I will likely need device assistance or a lung transplant within 3 months.
  • I have a left ventricular ejection fraction below 50%.
  • I have severe lung disease.
  • I have a history of pulmonary embolism in the last three months.
  • I cannot undergo right heart catheterization.
  • I have received pulmonary vasoactive medication in the past 12 weeks.
  • I am pregnant or breastfeeding.
