Assessment of the effect on pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR)

Overview

Brief Summary

The study aims to see how 24 weeks of triple therapy-an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA), a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (PDE5i), and sotatercept-affects pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). SIRIUS is a 24-week, single-arm, open-label study with up to 42 days of screening and a 28-day safety follow-up. It will enroll 25 patients and will be conducted only in countries where all treatments are available and covered. After 24 weeks, PAH treatment is decided by the doctor.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age 18- 70 years
  • Treatment-naïve patients diagnosed within 12 weeks prior to screening with I/H/D-PAH or PAH associated with corrected congenital heart disease (disease (≥12 months after correction). Patients who have received treatment with PDE5is and/or ERAs for up to 6 weeks after diagnosis are eligible provided that state-of-the-art right heart catheterization has been performed at PAH diagnosis.
  • PVR \>5 WU, mPAP ≥35 mmHg and PAWP or LVEDP ≤15 mmHg at PAH diagnosis.
  • Signed written informed consent
  • Normal blood counts for platelets and erythrocytes
  • Women of childbearing potential must be willing to remain abstinent or use adequate and reliable contraception throughout the study and for at least 4 months after the last dose of study medication has been received.
  • WOCBP must use one of the following highly effective methods of birth control that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly - according to recommendations by the European Heads of Medicines Agencies - from at least 14 days before the first administration of study medication until 4 month after the last administration of study medication:
  • combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hor-monal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation:
  • intravaginal
  • transdermal

Exclusion Criteria

  • Other Forms of PH or PAH
  • Use of PAH medications for more than 6 weeks prior to screening
  • Symptoms or signs of clinically relevant lung disease, including TLC \< 70%, FEV1/FVC \<60%, and DLCO \<45%, respectively
  • Signs of left heart failure with reduced or preserved ejection fraction, including LVEF \<50%, LAVI \>34 ml/m2, E/é ≥15, or permanent atrial fibrillation, respectively.
  • History of severe bleeding/haemorrhage
  • Therapy with prostacyclin and/or antithrombotic agents
  • eGFR \<30 ml/min/m
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients
