主要终点
clinical worsening at the longest follow-up: a.death due to any cause, b.hospitalization due to worsening of PH, including: i.Documented right heart failure, OR ii.Need for lung transplantation, OR iii.Need for intravenous diuretics and/or inotropic support, OR iv. Need for parental prostanoids c. decline in 6MWD by ≥15% from baseline, combined with WHO functional class III or IV IV(confirmed on a second test within 7 days and both conditions met)

简要总结

To estimate, using a Bayesian analysis, the risk of clinical worsening associated with discontinuation of riociguat monotherapy after successful BPA in CTEPH patients over a follow-up period of at least 12 months, compared with continuation, as assessed by the primary endpoint.

入排标准

18 years 至 65+ years(18-64 Years, 65+ Years)
接受健康志愿者

入选标准

  • Signed informed consent and willingness to accept either riociguat monotherapy discontinuation or continuation
  • Adults ≥18 years
  • Patients diagnosed with inoperable CTEPH or persistent PH after PEA who have achieved therapeutic goals following BPA: a. WHO FC I or II b. PVR < 3 Wood units c. Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) < 30 mmHg
  • Riociguat monotherapy for ≥6 months with stable doses for ≥3 months prior to enrollment
  • Last BPA session performed ≥6 months prior to enrollment
  • TM6 ≥ 150 m
  • For women of childbearing potential : highly effective contraception

排除标准

  • Background treatment with any PH therapy, except for riociguat, (e.g., any endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA), phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (PDE-5i), parenteral prostanoids, prostacyclin receptor agonist)
  • Significant obstructive or restrictive lung disease, defined as: FEV₁ < 60% of predicted, with FEV₁/FVC < 65% and/or total lung capacity (TLC) < 60% of predicted, or known significant chronic lung disease diagnosed via imaging (e.g., interstitial lung disease, emphysema)
  • Severe hepatic impairment, defined as: Child-Pugh class B or C and/or liver aminotransferase levels > 3× upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance ≤ 30 mL/min/1.73 m²)
  • Left heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40%
  • Ongoing or planned treatment with organic nitrates.
  • Treatment with strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inducers (e.g., rifabutin, rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, St. John’s wort)
  • Treatment with strong multi pathway P-glycoprotein (P-gp)/ breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibitors (e.g., lopinavir/ritonavir).
  • Persons deprived of their liberty by judicial or administrative decision
  • Persons under psychiatric care without their consent, refer to articles L.3212-1, L.3213-1 and L.1121-8 persons admitted to a health or social institution for purposes other than research
  • Adults subject to a legal protection measure (guardianship, curatorship, etc.),
  • Treatment with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, clarithromycin, telithromycin, nefazodone, ritonavir, and saquinavir) or a moderate dual CYP3A4/CYP2C9 inhibitor (e.g., fluconazole, amiodarone) or co-administration of a combination of moderate CYP3A4 and moderate CYP2C9 inhibitors.
  • Persons unable to give their consent
  • Persons who are not affiliated to a social security scheme or who are beneficiaries of such a scheme
  • History of life-threatening hemoptysis (>100 mL within 24 hours) or prior bronchial artery embolization for hemoptysis
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or intention to become pregnant during the study period
  • Severe comorbidities or underlying conditions with an anticipated life expectancy < 12 months, including active malignancy with localized or metastatic disease
  • Alcohol abuse, as determined by the investigator
  • Any condition or factor likely to interfere with protocol compliance, in the opinion of the investigator
  • Participation in another interventional trial or being in the exclusion period following a previous research involving the human person
  • Post-capillary pulmonary hypertension, defined as pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) > 15 mmHg

次要结局

  • Change from baseline to Months 3, 6,12 and every 6 months until the last enrolled patient has completed the minimum 12-month follow-up in 6MWD, WHO FC, NT-proBNP levels, and quality of life measured by the generic EQ-5D-5L and the disease-specific EmPHasis-10.
  • Change from baseline to Month 12 in right atrial pressure, mPAP, cardiac output and PVR.
  • Health economic outcomes: incremental cost effectiveness ratio (difference in costs/difference in QALYS) of riociguat monotherapy withdrawal for the French public health system.
  • Treatment burden assessed at baseline and Month 12
  • Occurrence at the longest follow-up (minimum 12 months) of individual components of the primary endpoint
