What is Noxivent

Nitric Oxide

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas made of nitrogen and oxygen molecules. It is used by the body for signaling purposes and is essential for many industrial processes. It is also an air pollutant created by car engines and power plants. It should not be confused with nitrous oxide (N2O), an anesthetic, or nitrogen dioxide (NO2), another air pollutant. Nitric oxide is a free radical that reacts with ozone in the air to create nitrogen dioxide, which can be identified by its reddish-brown color.

How Noxivent Affects Patients

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a condition caused by either a primary issue or one that is linked to other diseases such as pneumonia. This causes high pressure in the lungs which results in an imbalance of oxygen in the body. Nitric Oxide has been found to help improve oxygen levels in patients with PPHN by widening the blood vessels in the lungs and balancing out the oxygen levels in the body.

How Noxivent works in the body

Nitric oxide helps relax the muscles in your blood vessels, allowing them to widen. This increases blood flow and lowers blood pressure. When inhaled, nitric oxide helps widen your airways, making it easier to breathe.

Patient Q&A Section about noxivent

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the indication for nitric oxide?

"Nitric oxide is a medication used to manage and treat hypoxic respiratory failure or persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). It is classified as a miscellaneous respiratory agent."

Answered by AI

How much does nitric oxide cost?

"Inhaled nitric oxide therapy is very costly, with a direct cost of $100 per hour at the institution where the study was conducted. The annual cost of inhaled nitric oxide therapy at this institution was approximately $1.8 million."

Telaglenastat for Pulmonary Hypertension

18 - 75
All Sexes
Pittsburgh, PA

The research study is being conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a drug called Telaglenastat in adults diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension (PH). PH is a progressive condition that affects the arteries in the lungs, specifically the pulmonary arteries, which carry blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. Telaglenastat is not currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of PH. However, the study investigators believe that Telaglenastat may help lower blood pressure in the lungs and improve both heart and lung function. It is important to note that the drug will not be available to participants once the study concludes.

Neuromodulation for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

18 - 90
All Sexes
Oklahoma City, OK

Patients with Group 1 pulmonary hypertension will be enrolled in this study. Investigators will test the hypothesis of low-level tragal stimulation in patients with pulmonary hypertension. The study will be conducted over 4 weeks and patients will undergo low-level tragus stimulation for 1 hour every day for 4 weeks. At baseline the following tests will be conducted-6-minute walk distance, vascular function testing using noninvasive device and blood samples will be collected. Patient will also undergo a limited echocardiography to assess right ventricular function. After 4 weeks of stimulation patients will come back to undergo these tests again. Investigators hypothesized that low-level tragus stimulation (neuromodulation) will lead to improvement in vascular function, 6-minute walk distance and blood based biomarkers in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
