简要总结

The main purpose of this study is to investigate whether bosentan (Tracleer®) affects the wall thickness of the pulmonary arteries in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (iPAH) and PAH related to systemic sclerosis (PAH-SSc).

The second purpose is to investigate if bosentan affects the enlargement of small vessels in the lungs in response to natural chemicals in patients with iPAH and PAH-SSc.

  • Symptomatic (modified NYHA class III) iPAH or PAH-SSc·
  • PAH confirmed by right heart catheterization performed within 3 months before enrolment mPAP > 25 mmHg, PCWP < 15 mmHg and PVR > 3 mmHg/l/min.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pre-treatment pregnancy test and use a reliable method of contraception during study treatment and for 3 months after study treatment termination.
  • Bosentan naïve patients

排除标准

  • · PAH other than iPAH or PAH-SSc
  • Significant vasoreactivity during right heart catheterization defined as a fall in mPAP to < 40 mmHg with a decrease >= 10 mmHg and with a normal cardiac index (>= 2.5 l/min.m2)· Severe obstructive lung disease: FEV1/FVC < 0.5

  • Treatment for iPAH or PAH-SSc within 1 month before start of study treatment, excluding warfarin and acute administration of vasodilators for vascular reactivity testing during heart catheterization.
  • Treatment with epoprostenol or other prostacyclin analogs for iPAH or PAH-SSc within 1 month before start of study treatment
  • Treatment with glibenclamide (glyburide), fluconazole ketoconazole or ritonavir within 1 week before start of study treatment.
  • Current treatment with cyclosporine A or tacrolimus
  • Hypersensitivity to bosentan or any of the excipients of its formulation.
  • Patient who received an investigational drug (such as sildenafil) within 3 months before start of study treatment
  • Conditions that prevent compliance with the protocol or adherence to therapy.
