简要总结
This is a single-center, open label phase II study to evaluate the effect of inhaled nitrite delivered in a dose escalation manner on the change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in subjects with pulmonary hypertension undergoing right heart catheterization.
A total of 50 subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension and meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study which will entail a single right heart catheterization and nebulized nitrite dose of 45mg with one subsequent dosage of 90 mg.
详细描述
Screening Visit:Initial screening evaluations including physical examination, medical history, and clinical laboratory assessments will be conducted to determine study eligibilities during a routine clinic visit at the UPMC HVI, CLC or inpatient at UPMC Presbyterian. Subjects who meet the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be entered into the study.
Day 1: This study visit will occur on the same day subjects are scheduled for their clinically indicated right heart catheterization or who volunteer for a research right heart catheterization for this specific study. Subjects on oral background PAH therapy (ETRA or PDE5I) will be instructed to hold their regimen on the day of the study visit.
Subjects will receive nebulized AIR001 doses escalated based upon safety and tolerability. The dose of inhaled nitrite will be delivered via electronic nebulizer. During the study right heart/pulmonary artery hemodynamics will be measured as well as noninvasive systemic blood pressure monitoring. Subjects will be tested for the changes in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) using standard clinical protocol hemodynamic recordings of right atrial, right ventricular, and pulmonary artery pressures, in addition to cardiac output at time zero,
3 Day phone follow up
30 Day follow up visit: All subjects enrolled in the study will be followed for 30 days (+/- 5 day window) after completion of the study treatment. A physical exam and clinical labs will be obtained at this visit.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR)
时间窗: Time zero, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes after nebulization of 45mg followed by 90 mg dose
Linear mixed effects model across all time points and doses relative to baseline. The mixed effects model takes into account all time points combined (repeated measures) and has been extensively described for clinical trials (please see references). In this model, the effect of treatment on hemodynamics (measured at 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after 45mg followed by same times after 90 mg dose) was compared with baseline values. We assessed the overall linear trend of treatment. The effect of treatment on hemodynamics in each patient group was assessed separately in mixed-effects models. Since pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was not normally distributed, it was transformed to natural log prior to analysis. The reported mean is the change from baseline of PVR over all subsequent times and doses (beta from the mixed effects model, converted back from natural log to Woods units), and is reported as the mean and 95% confidence interval.
次要结局
- Change in Mitochondrial Oxygen Consumption Compared to Baseline After Each Dose of Nitrite(Maximal effect at 15 minutes post 45mg or 90mg inhalation vs Pre dose)
- Time to Maximum Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) Decrease(0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after 45 mg followed by same times after 90 mg dose)

- Change in Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR)(Time zero, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes after nebulization of 45mg followed by 90 mg dose)
- Change in Pulmonary Vascular Impedance / Wave Intensity(Pre dose and 60 minutes post last dosage inhaled)
