Brief Summary:

Ubenimex is being developed for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) (World Health Organization [WHO] Group 1) to improve exercise capacity and delay clinical worsening.

This study is a Phase 2, open-label, extension study to evaluate long-term safety and efficacy of ubenimex in patients with PAH (WHO Group 1) who complete Study EIG-UBX-001.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Drug: ubenimex Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This study is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter, extension study to evaluate long-term safety and efficacy of ubenimex in patients with PAH (WHO Group 1) who complete Study EIG-UBX-001 (Study EIG-UBX-001 is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial) and meet the eligibility criteria for Study EIG-UBX-002. The primary objective for this study is:

- to obtain long-term safety and tolerability data for ubenimex (150 mg administered three times daily [TID]) in patients with PAH (WHO Group 1).

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: ubenimex

ubenimex capsules 150 mg three times a day (TID), administered orally, minimum of 24 weeks for all patients.
