简要总结

This study is an international, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects with PAH who are currently receiving approved therapy for their PAH (i.e., endothelin receptor antagonist and/or phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor). Study visits will occur at 4 week intervals for 16 weeks with the key measure of efficacy being the 6-minute walk test. Study procedures include routine blood tests, medical history, physical exams, disease evaluation, and exercise tests.

Patients who complete all assessments for 16-weeks will also be eligible to enter an open-label, extension phase study (FREEDOM - EXT).

研究组 & 干预措施

Placebo

Placebo Comparator

Identical placebo tablets to UT-15C, doses were titrated in the same manner

干预措施: Placebo (Drug)

UT-15C SR

Experimental

Doses were initiated at 0.25 mg BID and increased by 0.25 mg BID every three days (as clinically indicated based on tolerability and symptoms of PAH), to a max dose of 16 mg BID.

干预措施: UT-15C SR (Drug)

结局指标

主要结局

6-minute Walk Distance (6MWD)

时间窗: Baseline and 16 weeks

Placebo-corrected change in 6MWD from Baseline to Week 16, correlates with the current clinical standard for assessing patient functional status in the treatment of PAH and is considered an objective measure of patient functional status by the American Thoracic Society (ATS). The 6MWD was to be assessed between 3 and 6 hours after the morning dose of study drug and background therapy(ies).

次要结局

  • Clinical Worsening Assessment(Baseline and 16 Weeks)
  • Borg Dyspnea Score(Baseline and 16 Weeks)
  • World Health Organization (WHO) Functional Class(Baseline and 16 Weeks)
  • Symptoms of PAH(Baseline and 16 Weeks)
  • Dyspnea Fatigue Index(Baseline and 16 Weeks)
  • N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP)(Baseline and 16 Weeks)
  • Quality of Life (QoL) Assessment: Cambridge Pulmonary Hypertension Outcome Review (CAMPHOR)(Baseline and 16 Weeks)
