简要总结

The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety/tolerability and efficacy (by evaluating changes in pulmonary vascular resistance [PVR] and pulmonary blood volume [PBV]) of frespaciguat in participants with pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (PH-COPD). The primary hypothesis is that 28 days of frespaciguat treatment is superior to placebo treatment in reduction of PVR.

详细描述

Part 1 of this study will assess safety, tolerability, and PK of frespaciguat compared to placebo. Part 2 will assess safety, tolerability, PK, and changes in PVR and PBV of frespaciguat compared to placebo.

结局指标

主要结局

Percentage of Participants Who Experienced at Least 1 Adverse Event (AE)

时间窗: Up to approximately 139 days

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The percentage of participants who experienced an AE was assessed.

Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Study Drug Due to an AE

时间窗: Up to approximately 32 days

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The number of participants who discontinued treatment due to an AE was assessed.

Percentage Change From Baseline to Day 28 in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR): Part 2

时间窗: Baseline (between Day -5 and Day -1) and Day 28

PVR was calculated in participants after MK-5475 dosing at baseline and Day 28. Based on the variables obtained by right heart catheterization (RHC), the fold change from baseline individual PVR was calculated. The difference from baseline was assessed on the log scale and then back-transformed for reporting (percent change from baseline). Per protocol, this outcome measure was only assessed during the Part 2 and was not assessed during part 1.
