IMPAHCT Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new way to give a drug to people with PAH, and is measuring how well it works compared to a placebo.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) who can walk at least 100 meters but not more than 475 meters. They should be on stable PAH medication and have WHO Functional Class II, III or IV symptoms. It's not for those with left-sided heart disease, other types of pulmonary hypertension, or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The IMPAHCT study is testing AV-101 (inhaled imatinib) to see if it helps patients with PAH. The first part will find the best dose by comparing three different amounts to a placebo. The second part measures how far patients can walk in six minutes after taking the drug for 24 weeks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of AV-101 aren't listed here, similar drugs often cause respiratory issues like coughing or wheezing, digestive problems, headaches, fatigue and sometimes dizziness or swelling.
