简要总结

The primary objectives of this exploratory study are to evaluate the effects of bosentan on hemodynamics (via cardiac catheterization) during exercise in patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) who have abnormal hemodynamics during exercise but normal hemodynamics at rest. The authors hypothesize that early treatment may change the course of disease progression by improving hemodynamics during exercise, thus delaying disease progression.

入选标准

  • Men or women ≥ 18 years of age
  • For female patients, only non-pregnant women who are surgically sterile, postmenopausal or have documented infertility (over 50 years of age and amenorrheic for at least 1 year), or those of childbearing potential using one of the following methods of contraception:
  • Barrier-type devices (e.g., condom, diaphragm) used ONLY in combination with a spermicide. A double-barrier method is recommended.
  • Intrauterine devices (IUDs)
  • Oral contraceptives, if used in combination with a barrier method
  • Body weight of 40 kg or higher
  • Patients diagnosed with connective tissue disease
  • Hemodynamics at rest, based on cardiac catheterization, should be as follows:
  • Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) : 18 - 25 mmHg
  • PCWP ≤ 15 mmHg
  • Hemodynamics during exercise, based on cardiac catheterization, should be as follows: mPAP > 30 mmHg
  • Provide written informed consent

排除标准

  • Treatment with calcineurin-inhibitors (i.e., cyclosporine A and tacrolimus), fluconazole, glibenclamide (glyburide) within 1 week of study start;
  • Known hypersensitivity to bosentan or any of the excipients
