Inclusion Criteria

  • The following entry criteria have to be chosen carefully to clearly define our study group and reduce the potential for variation.
  • 1. Males or females aged between 16–75 years old
  • 2. PAH which is idiopathic, heritable or associated with anorexigens.
  • 3. Iron deficiency as defined by any one of the following criteria:
  • sTfR levels > 28.1 nmol/l (where sTfR analysis is available) or one of the following: Ferritin < 37 ug/l; transferrin saturations < 16.4%; iron < 10.3 umol/l.
  • 4. Documented diagnosis of PAH by right heart catheterisation performed at any time prior to Screening showing: resting mean pulmonary artery pressure >25mmHg, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure =/< 15 mm Hg and normal or reduced cardiac output;
  • 5. 6 minute walking distance greater than 50m at entry;
  • 6. Stable on an unchanged PAH therapeutic regime (any combination of endothelin receptor antagonist, phosphodiesterase inhibitor or prostacyclin analogue) for at least 1 month.
  • 7. Able to provide written informed consent prior to any study-mandated procedures
  • 8. Female subjects of child-bearing potential are eligible to participate if they agree to use one of the following contraception methods:
  • Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation:
  • o intravaginal
  • o transdermal
  • Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation:
  • o injectable
  • o implantable
  • Intrauterine device (IUD)
  • Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)
  • Bilateral tubal occlusion
  • Vasectomised partner
  • Sexual abstinence
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? yes
  • Number of subjects for this age range: 5
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 50
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 5

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1. Unable to provide informed consent.
  • 2. Clinically-significant renal disease (Creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min per 1.73 m2 calculated from CKD-Epi
  • http://www.qxmed.com/renal/Calculate-CKD-EPI-GFR.php) or liver disease (including serum transaminases > 3 times upper limit of normal).
  • 3. Haemoglobin concentration <10 g/dl.
  • 4. Patients will be excluded if any single parameter (iron, ferritin or transferritin saturation) exceeds 1x upper limit of normal (ULN) in the local lab reference range
  • 5. Patients with moderate to severe hypophosphatemia as defined as <0.65mmol/L
  • 6. Known to have haemoglobinopathy e.g. sickle cell disease, thalassaemia.
  • 7. Admission to hospital related to PAH or change in PAH therapy within 1 month prior to Screening.
  • 8. Evidence of left ventricular disease or significant lung disease on high-resolution CT scanning or lung function as judged by the investigator
  • 9. Acute or chronic infection or inflammation.
  • 10. Significant uncontrolled asthma as judged by the investigator, eczema or atopic allergies.
  • 11. Females who are lactating or pregnant.
  • 12. Individuals known to have HIV, Hepatitis B or C or Creutzfeld-Jakob disease.
  • 13. Known hypersensitivity to FerinjectP®P or any of its excipients and any other iron supplement preparation.
  • 14. Evidence of disturbances in utilisation of iron.
  • 15. Significant blood loss (e.g. GI bleed) within the last 3 months or history of menorrhagia.
  • 16. Unable to perform a Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test i.e. due to syncope or musculoskeletal factors.
  • 17. Patients who have received an investigational medicinal product within 30 days of entering the baseline visit
