简要总结

This clinical investigation is a medical device trial to examine the safety and efficacy of TheraSorb® Ig flex adsorber treatment (as an add-on to conventional treatment) used exclusively with the LIFE 18® apheresis system for extracorporeal application for IA therapy (5 treatments) performed over 5 to 8 consecutive days in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and WHO functional classification III.

入选标准

  • Able to understand and willing to sign the Informed Consent Form
  • age > 18 and < 80 years at time of informed consent
  • Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension diagnosed by right heart catheter
  • WHO functional classification III
  • Application of conventional IPAH therapy, which has been stable for the prior 8 weeks
  • Able to perform a 6-minute-walk test (MWT)
  • Negative pregnancy test (β-HCG) at the start of the trial and appropriate contraception throughout the trial for women with child-bearing potential.

排除标准

  • Pregnancy and/or lactation
  • PAH of any cause other than permitted in the inclusion criteria, e.g. concomitantly to portal hypertension, complex congenital heart disease, reversed shunt, HIV infection, suspected pulmonary veno-occlusive disease
  • Contraindication for right heart catheterization
  • Any change in disease-targeted therapy within 8 weeks prior to inclusion
  • Walking impairment due to causes other than IPAH that would preclude performance of a 6MWT
  • Any patient who has received any investigational medication within 8 weeks prior to the start of this trial or who is scheduled to receive another investigational drug during the course of the trial between visits V1 and V9
  • Known intolerance to immunoadsorption in general or to one of the excipients (e.g. sheep antibodies or agarose) or other supporting agents
  • Hemoglobin concentration of < 75% below the lower limit of normal
  • Systolic blood pressure < 85 mmHg
  • Lack of compliance or other similar reason that, in the judgment of the Investigator, precludes satisfactory participation in the trial
  • Concurrent severe or uncontrolled medical disease (i.e. uncontrolled diabetes, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to the study, unstable and uncontrolled hypertension, chronic renal disease, or active uncontrolled generalized viral, bacterial and/ or mycotic infection) which by assessment of the treating Investigator could compromise patients safety or participation in the study
  • Drug or alcohol abuse within the last 5 years
  • Hypercoagulability
  • Known severe immunodeficiency (e.g. AIDS)
  • Severe lung disease: FEV1/FVC < 50%, total capacity < 60% of normal value
  • Indications that prohibit transient anticoagulation using Heparin and/or ACD-A-solutions

结局指标

主要结局

Primary endpoint is the change of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) at rest before immunoadsorption compared to 3 months after immunoadsorption therapy determined by right heart catheterization (RHC).

时间窗: Baseline, 3 months after therapy

次要结局

  • all-cause mortality(~6months)
  • occurrence and number of Adverse Events(~6 months)
  • WHO functional classification(Measurements at baseline, ~1 week, ~1 month, ~3 months and ~6 months after start of therapy)
  • Six-minute walk test (6MWT)(Measurements at baseline, ~1 week, ~1 month, ~3 months and ~6 months after start of therapy)
  • Quality of life questionnaires(Measurements at baseline, and after ~1 month, ~3 months, ~6 months)
  • Analysis of Hemodynamics by right heart catheterization: RAP, PAPm, CO, CI, SvO2; sPAP(Measurements at baseline, after ~3 months)
  • Reduction of IgG(Measurements at baseline, during each treatment visit, ~1 week, ~1 month and ~3 months after start of treatment)
