The purpose of the study is to learn how the study medicine called PF-07868489 is tolerated and acts in healthy adult people and people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Part A: An investigator- and participant-blind, sponsor-open, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of PF-07868489 in healthy adult participants. Part B: A 24-week, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of PF-07868489 in adult participants with PAH.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe disease with a delayed diagnosis and markedly elevated mortality. High-risk populations, such as those with known genetic defects, provide a unique opportunity to determine the features of susceptibility and resilience to PAH. This proposal will fundamentally overturn the prevailing understanding of PAH by creating molecularly-driven signatures of susceptibility and resilience, provide novel insight into disease severity, and potentially identify new therapeutic targets.

Randomized, triple-masked, parallel arm clinical trial of empagliflozin versus placebo in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) participants on stable approved PAH-targeted medical therapy.
Researchers are looking for other ways to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Sotatercept is a study medicine that is designed to treat PAH. A past study, MK-7962-024 (LIGHTRAY) (NCT06664801), learned about the safety and effects of sotatercept in people with PAH. One of the goals of that study was to learn about sotatercept when given at a dose (amount) based on the weight range a person is in (weight-banded doses) compared to when given based on a person's exact weight. This is an extension study, which means people who took part in MK-7962-024 (LIGHTRAY) may be able to join this study. In this extension study, people will get weight-banded doses of sotatercept. The main goal of this study is to learn about the safety of weight-banded doses of sotatercept and if people tolerate it over a longer period of time.
The purpose of the study is to learn more about how low-resistance training impacts frailty and the quality of life of people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Low-resistance training is an evidence-based approach that may help patients improve their functional ability.
This pilot clinical trial will evaluate the initial safety, feasibility, and pharmacokinetics of microbiota transplant therapy (MTT) with antibiotic pre-conditioning and fiber supplementation vs. placebo in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This trial will inform development of future trials of MTT as a treatment for PAH. 24 PAH patients will be randomized to receive either MTT with antibiotic preconditioning + fiber supplementation, MTT with antibiotic preconditioning + placebo supplementation, or placebo + placebo supplementation. MTT will in a capsule form composed of freeze-dried, encapsulated intestinal microbiota from healthy donors. Fiber supplementation will be 10-14 gm oral fiber supplement. Patients will be followed at week 1, week 2, week 4, week 12, and week 24. Patient will undergo stool sample collection at baseline, week 1, week 4, and week 12, blood sample collection at baseline, week 4, and week,12. In addition, patient will undergo an echocardiogram, six-minute walk test (6MWT) and quality of life questionnaire at baseline and at week 12.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a home rehabilitation program for patients diagnosed with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) will decrease Cardiac Effort (number of heart beats used during 6-minute walk test/walk distance) and improve quality of life. Ultimately, this information could help improve the management of patients with PAH.
The purpose of this study is to see if the drug sotatercept given for 36 weeks improves the functioning of the heart and improves quality of life.
The overall study objectives outlined in this study are to derive 129Xe MRI pulmonary vascular biomarker signatures that differentiate common subtypes of PAH and to determine the ability of 129Xe MRI to longitudinally monitor disease progression and response to therapy in PAH, with the aid of additional assessments, such as labs, echocardiography, and six-minute walk distance (6MWD).
The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of sotatercept over 24 weeks of treatment in children ≥1 to \<18 years of age with PAH World Health Organization (WHO) Group 1 on standard of care (SoC). There is no formal hypothesis.
