简要总结
It is hypothesised that ambrisentan may provide benefit to subjects with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), where currently no proven or licensed treatment options exist. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind placebo controlled parallel group, 16 week study will compare the safety and efficacy of ambrisentan 5 milligrams (mg) versus placebo in subjects with inoperable CTEPH. The study will enrol 160 subjects, to assure at least 72 evaluable subjects per treatment arm, based on 10% drop-out rate.

入选标准
- •Signed written informed consent prior to beginning study-related procedures.
- •Subject must be between 18-80 years of age, inclusive, at the Screening Visit.
- •Subjects must have a diagnosis of CTEPH at an expert centre with a positive V/Q and CT angiogram and a pulmonary angiogram if available within 6 months prior to screening.
- •Subject must meet all of the following haemodynamic criteria by means of a RHC within 3 months prior to screening: Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) of >25 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) >400 dynes.sec/centimetre (cm)^5, Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) or Left ventricle end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) of <15 mmHg.
- •Subjects must have previously been judged inoperable due to the obstruction being surgically inaccessible (i.e. distal disease) by an expert multidisciplinary team which must include at least one cardiology or respiratory consultant, and one consultant PEA surgeon. For countries with CTEPH expert centers [including at least a surgeon with sound experience performing Pulmonary Endarterectomy (PEAs)] the expert team will be the local expert centre. For countries without a CTEPH surgical expert center a central adjudication committee will assess the operability of the subjects during the screening period.
- •Subject must walk a distance of >150 Meters (m) and < 475 m at the screening visit.
- •Subject must have a current diagnosis of being in WHO Functional Class II or III.
- •Subject, with or without supplemental oxygen, must have a resting arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) > 92% as measured by pulse oximetry at the Screening Visit.
- •Subjects must have received anticoagulation for a minimum of 3 months prior to Screening
- •Female subject of childbearing potential must agree to use 2 reliable methods of contraception from the Screening Visit until study completion and for at least 30 days following the last dose of Investigational Product
- •Subject must agree not to participate in a clinical study involving another investigational drug or device throughout this study.
- •Subject must be competent to understand the information given in the Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) approved informed consent form (ICF) and must sign the form prior to the initiation of any study procedures.
排除标准
- •Subject received previous Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapy (Phosphodiesterase type 5 [PDE5i], Endothelin receptor antagonist [ERA], chronic prostanoid use)
- •Subject has previously discontinued other ERA in either another clinical study or commercial product for safety or tolerability reasons other than for liver function abnormalities.
- •Subject has a known hypersensitivity to the Investigational Products, the metabolites, or formulation excipients
- •Subject has previously undergone a pulmonary endarterectomy or a balloon pulmonary angioplasty
- •Subject receiving intravenous inotropes within 2 weeks prior to the Screening Visit (e.g. dopamine, dobutamine)
- •Subjects receiving Calcium Channel Blockers or 5-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A 5-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (i.e., statins) on an unstable dose 4 weeks prior to the Screening Visit (to be eligible subjects must not have changed their dose <4 weeks prior to the screening visit)
- •Subject has not enrolled in an exercise training program for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation within 12 weeks prior to the Screening Visit and must agree not to enroll in an exercise training program for pulmonary rehabilitation during the Screening Period and the first 16 weeks of the study. Subjects enrolled in an exercise program for pulmonary rehabilitation 12 weeks prior to screening may enter the study if they agree to maintain their current level of rehabilitation for the first 16 weeks of the study.

- •Subject has severe hypotension (<90/50 mmHg) at screening
- •Subject has had an acute myocardial infarction within the last 90 days prior to screening

- •Subject with significant pulmonary disease Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) <70% of predicted): Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Emphysema, evidence of fibrotic lung disease on imaging
- •Subject has clinically significant fluid retention in the opinion of the investigator
- •Subject with significant obesity [Body mass index (BMI) ≥35], cardiovascular, musculoskeletal or any other condition that in the opinion of the investigator may involve an impairment of exercise capacity or the performance of the 6MWD test (e.g. previous history of hip/knee surgery, lower limb ulcers associated with autoimmune diseases)
- •Subject with cardiovascular, liver, renal, haematologic, gastrointestinal, immunologic, endocrine, metabolic, or central nervous system disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may adversely affect the safety of the subject and/or efficacy of the investigational product or severely limit the lifespan of the subject other than the condition being studied
- •Subjects with a prior malignancy whose cancer is expected to require additional active treatment in the next 2 years and whose prior malignancy would prevent them from fully participating in the study

结局指标
主要结局
Change From Baseline in Six Minutes Walking Distance (6MWD) at Week 16
时间窗: Baseline (Week 0); Weeks 4, 8, 12 and 16/Early Withdrawal
The 6-minute walk test was conducted according to the American Thoracic Society guidelines in accordance with local standard operating procedures. 6MWD was measured by a 6-minute walk test. This test measures the distance that a participant can walk in a period of 6 minutes. Change from baseline was calculated at Weeks 4, 8, 12 and 16. Change from Baseline was calculated as value at the specified visit minus the Baseline value. Data at Baseline is based on average of two consecutive test results during Screening/Baseline period that differ by \<10%. If only one measurement was available, that measurement was used. In any cases where the protocol-defined criteria for Baseline 6MWD was not met, the Baseline value was based on the last two consecutive measurements for a participant.
