Summary

This is a research study involving an investigational drug called RT234. RT234 is being developed to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Eligible subjects must have a confirmed diagnosis of PAH and be on stable disease-specific PAH background therapy. The purpose of this study is to collect more information about the ability of RT234 to improve exercise capacity and safety of RT234 for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. The total duration of participation in the study, including screening, will be up to 4 study visits and a follow-up telephone call, over a period of up to 14 weeks. Up to 60 subjects will take part in this study.

Pulmonary Artery Denervation Clinical Study using the Gradient Denervation System in Heart Failure Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension Group 2

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00135798
Researcher
Thomas Todoran

List of Studies


Keywords
Cardiovascular, Heart, Pulmonary Hypertension
Summary

This study is for patients who have heart failure with pulmonary hypertension. Heart failure means that the heart cannot pump blood as well as normal. Pulmonary hypertension happens when the pressure in the blood vessels leading from the heart to the lungs is too high, blood flowing through the lungs is limited, and the pressure in the lungs increases when you are physically active, causing symptoms of shortness of breath and tiredness.

The study uses the Gradient device to see if can help treat heart failure with pulmonary hypertension. This device and therapy is still investigational, which means it is currently not approved by a regulatory agency (such as U.S Food and Drug Administration) for regular hospital use and it includes only individuals who choose to take part. Risks in this study include those for standard cardiac catheterization techniques and the administration of anesthesia including allergic reactions, low blood pressure, skin rash, or difficulty breathing; however, all of the risks may not be known. The study will last approximately 3 years and includes the following visits: Baseline/Screening, Procedure, Discharge, 1 month, 6 months and visits annually for 3 years. Study related procedures include a physical exam, blood testing, 6 minute walk test, echocardiogram, CT scan and a Right heart catheterization.

An Early Feasibility Study Assessing Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension Using the Aria CV Pulmonary Hypertension System (ASPIRE PH)

PRO Number

Researcher
Michele Esposito

List of Studies

Keywords
Pulmonary Hypertension
Summary

This clinical investigation is a prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, multi-center early feasibility study of the Aria CV Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) System implanted in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The device will be implanted in the pulmonary artery and the gas reservoir of the device will be in the abdominal cavity. The purpose of this study is to validate that the clinical use of the Aria CV PH System is safe for the patient, and to evaluate its performance in treating patients with PAH. Some procedures involved in the study include but not limited too: Questionnaires, physical exams, right heart catherization, echocardiograms, blood work and more. The study will be conducted in a maximum of 10 centers in the United States. Up to 45 patients will be consented, and up to 15 patients will receive implants. There is a total of 11 visits over the course of 2.5 years for the study. Because this is an investigational device under the FDA, there may be risk that include but are not limited to: arrhythmia, device infection, endocarditis, and heart failure. If the Aria CV device performs as intended, you may potentially benefit from reduction in or relief of symptoms caused by PH, and depending on your overall health conditions, prolonged life expectancy and/or improvement in your overall quality of life.

Keywords

Summary

This is a phase 4, prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study designed
to evaluate the effect of early and rapid treprostinil therapy on mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) reduction to improve Right ventricular (RV) function and reverse RV remodeling in patients with PAH. This study will use the CardioMEMS™ HF System (CardioMEMS) to measure and monitor mPAP, but may allow mPAP monitoring via RHC (right heart catheterization), if CardioMEMS is NOT available at a subject's Baseline Visit (Day 1) or if the CardioMEMS™ PA Sensor implantation is unsuccessful.

Participation is expected to be up to 37 months and will include about 10 office visits to the study doctor. This will be divided up into a 30-day Screening Period, a 12-month Treatment Period, and a 24-month Extended Treatment Period.

List of Studies

Keywords
Heart, Pulmonary Hypertension, Shortness of Breath
Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and how well the medication sotatercept works versus placebo in treating Heart Failure with a Preserved Ejection Fraction. The study will also look at information obtained from the tests performed as part of the study to see if subjects have improvement in symptoms of heart failure. Participation in this study will last approximately 26 months. During the study period subjects will be asked to attend regular study visits with the research coordinator. These visits will include such activities as blood tests, questionnaires, physical evaluation by a study doctor, a right heart catheterization with exercise, echocardiogram, and 6 minute hall walks. There will be 35 visits as part of participation in this clinical trial.

Participants will be randomized to either the treatment group (and receive the medication) or the control group (and not receive the medication). Subjects will have a 66:33 chance of receiving the study medication during their participation in the trial. The treatment assignment is determined by randomization, where a computer selects at random which treatment group you will be in (like drawing straws). Neither the subject, nor the blinded personnel will know which group subjects are in. Neither the subject nor the study doctor will decide what group subjects are assigned.

Ravi Veeraswamy

List of Studies


Keywords
Heart, Pulmonary Hypertension, Vascular
Summary

The purpose of this research study is to continue to test how well the Endospan NEXUSTM Aortic Arch Stent Graft System performs in the treatment of a diseased aortic arch. The aortic arch is the top part of the main large vessel that carries blood away from the heart. A stent graft is a self-expanding frame that is covered with a material intended to seal the vessel walls.
The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System is delivered to the diseased area of your aorta by traveling through your vascular system using fluoroscopic guidance (x-ray pictures), starting with a small incision or needle puncture near your groin (inner thigh). The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System is being studied and is not approved by the FDA which means it is investigational in this study. The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System has CE Mark which means it is approved for use in Europe. The NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System is only available through the clinical study in the United States.

Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of sotatercept treatment (plus background PAH therapy) verses placebo (plus background PAH therapy) on time to clinical worsening (TTCW) in participants who are newly diagnosed with PAH and are in intermediate or high risk of disease progression. The study is divided into a Screening Period (up to 4 weeks), followed by a Double-blind Placebo-controlled (DBPC) Treatment Period. When a participant experiences an event of clinical worsening, they will complete the End of Treatment (EOT) Visit and will be eligible to enroll immediately in the open-label, long-term follow-up (LTFU) study, A011-12 (SOTERIA). Up to 662 participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the 2 study treatment groups (331 participants per arm).
