Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension clinical trials at UCLA

10 in progress, 4 open to eligible people

Showing trials for

  • Sotatercept (MK-7962) in Children With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) (MK-7962-008)

    open to eligible people ages 1-17

    The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of sotatercept over 24 weeks of treatment in children ≥1 to <18 years of age with PAH World Health Organization (WHO) Group 1 on standard of care (SoC). There is no formal hypothesis.

  • Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Using the Aria CV Pulmonary Hypertension System

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This prospective study is a multi-center early feasibility study assessing the safety and performance of the Aria CV Pulmonary Hypertension System in patients with pulmonary hypertension and right heart dysfunction.

  • Sotatercept (MK-7962) in People With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (MK-7962-038)

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    Researchers are looking for more ways to treat PAH. In PAH, the blood vessels in the lungs become thick and narrow, which makes it harder for blood to flow. This causes high blood pressure in the lungs and overworks the heart. PAH can make it hard to breathe and be active. Some standard (usual) treatments for PAH can treat symptoms of PAH but do not stop PAH from getting worse. Sotatercept is a study medicine designed to treat PAH. It is a targeted therapy, which is a treatment that works on certain proteins that play a role in causing PAH. This is a long-term follow-up (LTFU) study. People who took part in certain other studies testing sotatercept for PAH may be able to join this study. The goal of this study is to learn about the long-term safety of sotatercept and if people tolerate it when taken with standard PAH treatment over a longer period of time.

  • Pharmacodynamics, and Safety Profile of Understudied Drugs Administered to Children Per Standard of Care (POPS)

    open to eligible people ages 0-20

    The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider.

  • Selexipag as Add-On Treatment to Standard of Care in Children With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the addition of selexipag to standard of care treatment delays disease progression in children with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) in comparison to placebo.

  • Outcome Study Assessing a 75 Milligrams (mg) Dose of Macitentan in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The purpose of this study is to demonstrate superiority of macitentan 75 milligrams (mg) in prolonging the time to the first clinical events committee (CEC)-adjudicated morbidity or mortality (M/M) event in participants with symptomatic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) compared to macitentan 10 mg.

  • Utility of Submaximal CPET in Treatment Management of PAH

    Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with worsening breathlessness and exercise capacity, right-heart failure, and adverse outcomes including increased mortality. Moreover, PH disease progression can be rapid; pharmaceutical intervention in early-stage Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) can improve symptoms and functional capacity, and delayed diagnosis and treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) likely reduces survival.
