入选标准

  • Patients Must
  • Between 16- 75 years of age.
  • Male or, if female, physiologically incapable of childbearing or utilizing birth control.
  • Have current diagnosis of symptom-limited NYHA Functional Class III/IV PAH that is:
  • PPH ("idiopathic" or familial PAH); or
  • PAH associated with collagen vascular disease (confirmed by antinuclear antibody titer or acceptable test); or
  • PAH associated with HIV infection (confirmed by serological test).
  • If HIV positive, have CD4 lymphocyte count ≥ 200 at baseline and receiving current SOC anti-retroviral or effective medication for HIV infection.
  • Optimally treated with conventional PH therapy and clinically stable for at least 1 month prior to baseline.
  • Have ventilation/perfusion scan, contrast-enhanced CT scan, or pulmonary angiogram after onset of PAH that rules out pulmonary embolism.
  • Have cardiac catheterization in last 3 months (or at Baseline) showing:
  • PAPm > 35 mmHg (at rest) &
  • PCWPm (or LV end diastolic pressure) < 16 mmHg &
  • PVR > 5 mmHg/L/min.
  • Have echocardiogram in last 3 months consistent with PH, specifically:
  • evidence of RV hypertrophy or dilation &
  • evidence of normal LV function &
  • absence of mitral valve stenosis.
  • Have chest radiograph consistent with PH performed in last 3 months. Radiograph must show clear lung fields or no more than patchy interstitial infiltrates.
  • Unless contraindicated, able to receive one of following anticoagulants: warfarin to achieve INR between 1.5-2.5 or heparin to produce aPTT between 1.3-1.5 times control, unless higher levels clinically indicated.
  • Mentally and physically capable of learning to administer Study Drug using ambulatory intravenous infusion pump and central venous access, or have trained caregiver.
  • If on corticosteroids, receiving stable dose of 20 mg/day of prednisone (or equivalent dose of another steroid) for at least 1 month prior to entry.

排除标准

  • Patients must not:
  • Nursing or pregnant (women of childbearing potential have negative pregnancy test).
  • Have had new type of chronic therapy (including but not limited to oxygen, different category of vasodilator, diuretic, digoxin) for PH, except for anticoagulants, added in last month.
  • Be scheduled for heart-lung transplant.
  • Have any PH medication except for anticoagulants discontinued in week prior to study entry.
  • Have received any chronic prostaglandin or prostaglandin analogue (including intravenous/inhaled/oral: epoprostenol, iloprost, beraprost, etc.), any phosphodiesterase inhibitor therapy such as sildenafil, or any endothelin antagonist therapy such as bosentan, in past 30 days.
  • Have PH associated with chronic thromboembolic disease; or chronic obstructive lung diseases or hypoxemia; or evidence of significant parenchymal lung disease as evidenced by PFTs in last 3 months as follows (any one of following):
  • TLC < 60% (predicted) or high resolution CT documenting diffuse interstitial fibrosis or alveolitis
  • FEV1/FVC ratio < 50%
  • Have Portal Hypertension.
  • Have history of uncontrolled Sleep Apnea, defined as oxygen desaturation less than 90% at night, in past 3 months.
  • Have history of left-sided heart disease including:
  • Aortic or mitral valve disease or
  • Pericardial constriction or
  • Restrictive or congestive cardiomyopathy; or have evidence of current left-sided heart disease defined by:
  • PCWPm or LV end diastolic pressure > 16 mmHg or
  • LVEF < 40% by MUGA, angiography or echocardiography or
  • LV Shortening Fraction < 22% by echocardiography or
  • Symptomatic coronary disease (demonstrable ischemia).
  • Have any disease other than HIV or connective tissue disease associated with PH (e.g. sickle cell anemia, schistosomiasis).
  • Have active AIDS or tuberculosis.
  • Have musculoskeletal disorder (e.g. arthritis, artificial leg, etc.) or any other disease thought to limit ambulation, or connected to machine which is not portable.
  • Have baseline exercise capacity of <50 m or >325 m as measured by 6-Minute Walk Test.
  • Have uncontrolled systemic hypertension as evidenced by systolic blood pressure >160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >100 mmHg.
  • Have used prescription appetite suppressants in 3 months of study entry.
  • Have chronic renal insufficiency defined by creatinine >2.5 mg/dL or requiring dialysis.
  • Receiving an investigational drug (other than acute challenge with epoprostenol), have in place an investigational device, or have participated in investigational drug/device study in past 30 days.
  • Have presence of any physiological or mental condition which contraindicates administration of Remodulin.
