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.

Detecting Pulmonary Hypertension With the Eko CORE 500 Digital Stethoscope
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
This prospective, observational study will evaluate whether synchronized heart sound (phonocardiogram, PCG) and three-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings (entered as separate interventions in PRS, though collected together in practice) collected with the Eko CORE 500 can help screen for pulmonary hypertension (PH). Adults (≥18 years) undergoing clinically indicated transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and/or right heart catheterization (RHC) will complete one study visit (~20 minutes). During the visit, study staff will obtain at least four 15-second CORE 500 recordings (aortic, pulmonic, tricuspid, and mitral areas). The clinical echocardiogram (and RHC, if performed) within ±7 days of the recordings will provide reference labels for the presence and severity of PH; de-identified demographic and clinical data may also be abstracted from the medical record. The primary objective is to develop and validate a software algorithm to detect PH and, where possible, stratify severity using noninvasive PCG+ECG signals. These recordings are investigational data acquisitions for algorithm development only; they are not diagnostic procedures and will not be used for clinical decision-making. Primary performance measures are sensitivity and specificity versus echocardiogram and RHC references. No clinical decisions will be based on the investigational algorithm, and no changes to standard care are required. The study plans to enroll up to ~1,513 participants to obtain approximately 1,375 evaluable datasets across multiple outpatient sites.

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.

Sotatercept for the Treatment of Cpc-PH Due to HFpEF (MK-7962-007/A011-16)
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
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 (PVR, primary endpoint) and 6-minute walk distance (6MWD, key secondary endpoint).

Oral Ifetroban to Treat Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) or SSc-associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The purpose of this phase 2 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study is to assess the safety and efficacy of ifetroban in patients with diffuse cutaneous systemic SSc (dcSSc) or SSc-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SSc-PAH).

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
Sorry, not yet accepting patients
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.
