研究概览

简要总结

The purpose of the study is to determine whether circulating molecular and cellular biomarkers are predictive of imatinib effect on pulmonary artery hypertension.

详细描述

We hypothesize that bone marrow progenitor cells are mobilized into the circulation in PAH, home to the lungs and differentiate into mast cells, which promote vascular remodeling and vasoconstriction through release of renin and chymase. As a corollary to this, we hypothesize that anti cKit tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), imatinib, provides clinical benefit to patients through inhibition of mast cell progenitor proliferation, mobilization and differentiation. To test this, we will determine if mast cell progenitors and mast cell biomarkers are related to imatinib clinical response. This will be an ancillary study, part of a placebo-controlled, double-blind multi center clinical trial of imatinib in pulmonary arterial hypertension.

入选标准

  • from Imatinib Trial
  • Male or Female 18 years or older
  • A current diagnosis or Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension according to the Dana Point 2008 Meeting: WHO Diagnostic Group I, idiopathic or heritable (familial or sporadic) PAH, PAH associated with collagen vascular disease including systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, mixed connective tissue diseases, and overlap syndrome. PAH following one year repair of congenital heart defect (ASD, VSD, or PDA), or PAH associated with diet therapies or other drugs
  • A PVR>1000dynes.sec.cm-5(as assess by RHC at screening or in the 2 months preceding the screening visit despite treatment with two or more specific PAH therapies, including endothelin receptor antagonists (ERA), phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5), or inhaled, intravenous or oral prostacyclin analogues for ≥3 months. On stable background therapy doses for ≥ 30 days except for warfarin (≥30 days but doses can vary even within the mouth before enrollment)
  • WHO Functional Class II-IV. For WHO Functional Class IV, one of the 2 or more specific PAH therapies must be an inhaled, intravenous or oral prostacyclin analogue, unless the subject has been shown to be intolerant of prostacyclin analogues.
  • 6MWD≥150meters and ≥450meters at screening. Distances of two consecutive 6MWTs should be within 15% of one another.
  • Ability to provide written informed consent
