Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in the Total Distance Walked During 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
    6 MWT was the distance that a participant could walk in 6 minutes. Participants were asked to perform the test at a pace that was comfortable to them, with as many breaks as they needed. Continuous pulse oximetry was conducted during the test for safety.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Pulmonary Arterial Pressure (mPAP) at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
    mPAP was measured using a pressure transducer positioned at the mid-axillary line.

  2. Number of Participants With Clinical Worsening [ Time Frame: Baseline through Week 12 ]
    Clinical worsening was defined as death; or lung transplantation; or hospitalization due to pulmonary hypertension; or initiation of prostacyclin therapy; or initiation of endothelin receptor antagonist therapy. (PAH=pulmonary arterial hypertension) Due to very low number of events of clinical worsening reported, the median days to clinical worsening could not be estimated.

  3. Number of Participants With Change From Baseline in PAH Criteria for Functional Capacity and Therapeutic Class at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
    Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) Criteria for WHO Class: Class I (Participants without resulting limitation of physical activity);Class II (Participants with slight limitation of physical activity though comfortable at rest);Class III (Participants with marked limitation of physical activity,though comfortable at rest);Class IV(Participants with inability to carry out any physical activity without symptoms,manifest signs of right heart failure; dyspnoea and/or fatigue may even be present at rest; and discomfort is increased by any physical activity).

  4. Change From Baseline in B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
    BNP is a non-invasive biomarker and an indicator of progression of PAH/ right ventricular dysfunction in participants with PAH.

  5. Change From Baseline in Pro-BNP at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
    Pro- BNP which is a precursor of BNP, is a non-invasive biomarker and an indicator of progression of PAH / RV dysfunction in participants with PAH.

  6. Change From Baseline in TAPSE Measurement at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]

    Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) was measured as the total displacement of the tricuspid annulus in cm from end diastole to end systole.TAPSE is an indicator of progression of PAH /right ventricular dysfunction.

    The baseline data for 33 participants were measured incorrectly and the results from the 33 participants (both baseline and post-baseline) were excluded from the analysis.


  7. Change From Baseline in BORG Dyspnoea Score at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12 ]
    BORG dyspnoea scale is a 10-point scale where following scores stands for severity of dyspnoea: 0 (no breathlessness at all); 0.5 (very very slight [just noticeable]); 1 (very slight); 2 (slight breathlessness); 3 (moderate); 4 (some what severe); 5 (severe breathlessness); 7 (very severe breathlessness); 9 (very very severe [almost maximum] and 10 (maximum).

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with PAH (i.e. IPAH or secondary to connective tissue disease or with surgical repair of ASD, VSD, PDA, aorto-pulmonary window) whose baseline six minute walk test distance is >/= 100 m and </= 450 m.
  • Subjects with a mean pulmonary artery pressure of >/= 25 mmHg and a pulmonary artery wedge pressure of </= 15 mmHg at rest via right heart catheterization performed within 12 weeks prior to randomization.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects whose 6 Minute Walk Distance may be limited by conditions other than PAH related dyspnoea or fatigue, e.g. claudication from vascular insufficiency or significant arthritis.
  • Subjects who are currently receiving any forms of chronic treatment for PAH such as prostacyclin, PDE-5 inhibitors, endothelin-receptor antagonists, nitrates or nitric oxide donors (e.g. arginine supplement, nicorandil) in any form, protease inhibitors such as ritonavir and saquinavir, ketoconazole, itraconazole, and alpha blockers. Subjects previously receiving any of these drugs must have stopped use for a period of at least 1 month prior to screening, except in the case of bosentan or prostacyclin (3 months).
