Trial Summary

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial requires participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension to be on a stable dose of their current PAH medications. The protocol does not specify if other medications need to be stopped.

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug PF-07868489 for pulmonary hypertension?

The research mentions that ambrisentan, a drug used in combination therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), has shown benefits in reducing clinical failure events and improving patient outcomes. This suggests that similar drugs might be effective for pulmonary hypertension.12345

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a new medicine called PF-07868489. It aims to see how safe it is and how it behaves in both healthy adults and those with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The study will help understand how the medicine moves through the body and its effects.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for healthy adults and those with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure affecting the lungs. Participants should have a BMI between 16 to 32 kg/m2 and weigh over 50 kg. It's not clear who can't join because the exclusion criteria are missing.

Interventions

  • PF-07868489
  • Placebo for PF-07868489
Trial Overview The study tests PF-07868489, which could potentially treat PAH. Part A involves giving healthy volunteers either this medicine or a placebo in increasing doses to check safety and how the body processes it. Part B gives PAH patients the drug or placebo for 24 weeks to assess safety and effectiveness.

Findings from Research

In a study of 500 participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), initial combination therapy with ambrisentan and tadalafil significantly reduced the risk of clinical failure events by 79% for patients with functional class II symptoms and by 42% for those with functional class III symptoms.
The combination therapy also notably decreased hospitalizations for worsening PAH, with no hospitalizations observed in functional class II patients receiving the combination treatment, suggesting that this approach is beneficial even for patients with less severe symptoms.
Clinical outcomes stratified by baseline functional class after initial combination therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension.White, RJ., Vonk-Noordegraaf, A., Rosenkranz, S., et al.[2020]
The CAMPHOR questionnaire demonstrated better psychometric properties than the SF-36 in assessing patient-reported outcomes in individuals with pulmonary hypertension, based on a study of 65 participants.
CAMPHOR showed good reliability and the ability to distinguish between different World Health Organization functional classes, while the SF-36 had poor test-retest reliability and high ceiling effects in several domains.

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the efficacy of ambrisentan in patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, but the study was terminated early due to futility of enrollment.
Despite early termination, there were trends indicating that ambrisentan may improve primary and some secondary endpoints compared to placebo, with similar adverse event profiles between the two groups.
