362 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
In preparation for a future mechanistic study, investigators now propose to test the specific hypothesis that carnitine consumption is not reduced in PAH, that plasma carnitine levels are stable over time in PAH and that carnitine supplementation in PAH can increase plasma carnitine and thereby delivery of carnitine to the RV and possibly improve RV function. Investigators propose three aims in humans to test this mechanistic hypothesis, 1) Measure the oral consumption of carnitine in human PAH. This aim will use food diaries and carnitine supplement use questionnaires in PAH patients to test the hypothesis that carnitine supplementation is uncommon in PAH and food consumption is adequate. Aim 2) Measure the stability over time in plasma carnitine levels in PAH patients. This aim will test the hypothesis that plasma carnitine is not affected by disease severity and is stable over time in PAH patients. Investigators will measure plasma carnitine concentration and markers of fatty acid oxidation at Visit 1 and Visit 2. 3) Perform a mechanistic pilot study using carnitine supplementation to enhance circulating carnitine in PAH. This small pilot study will test the hypothesis that carnitine supplementation increases plasma carnitine (primary endpoint) and will test for physiologic effects using six minute walk testing, echocardiography and plasma markers of lipid metabolism.
This study plans to learn more about activity levels in children with pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is a condition where the pressure in the lungs is higher than normal. This can affect the person's heart. The purpose of this study is to see if measuring activity in children with pulmonary hypertension and comparing it to activity in children without pulmonary hypertension can give their doctor helpful information on how they are feeling and how their treatment is working.

Our goal is to determine clinically in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension patients if associations exist between the efficacy and toxicity of sitaxsentan, bosentan, and ambrisentan and several gene polymorphisms in several key disease-specific and therapy specific genes. Also characterized is the relationship between these polymorphisms and the severity of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension using either baseline hemodynamic or clinical surrogates for disease severity. Hypothesis: Polymorphisms influence the efficacy and toxicity of specific Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension therapy as well as development/severity of PAH via their effect on PA remodeling, drug response, or metabolism. This study requires a one time 8.5 ml blood sample and clinical data to be obtained at initiation of therapy, 4 months after initiation of therapy and 12 months after initiation of therapy.

Patients with Group 1 pulmonary hypertension will be enrolled in this study. Investigators will test the hypothesis of low-level tragal stimulation in patients with pulmonary hypertension. The study will be conducted over 4 weeks and patients will undergo low-level tragus stimulation for 1 hour every day for 4 weeks. At baseline the following tests will be conducted-6-minute walk distance, vascular function testing using noninvasive device and blood samples will be collected. Patient will also undergo a limited echocardiography to assess right ventricular function. After 4 weeks of stimulation patients will come back to undergo these tests again. Investigators hypothesized that low-level tragus stimulation (neuromodulation) will lead to improvement in vascular function, 6-minute walk distance and blood based biomarkers in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
Researchers are looking for other ways to treat people with PAH. In PAH, the blood vessels in the lungs become thick and narrow, which makes it harder for blood to flow to the lungs. The goal of the study is to learn: * What happens to different doses of sotatercept in a person's body over time when it is given using weight-banded doses compared to weight-based doses. There may be differences in how the medicine works with the new dosing method (weight-banded dosing) being studied in this trial. * About the safety of sotatercept and if people tolerate it
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.

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.

IMPAHCT-FUL: Inhaled Imatinib Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Clinical Trial - Follow Up Long Term Extension (LTE) Trial was a follow up study to establish the long-term safety of AV-101. Subjects who successfully completed the 24-week placebo-controlled parent trial (AV-101-002, NCT#05036135) were offered the opportunity to continue into this LTE study. Subjects who enrolled in the study were to receive one of three active AV-101 doses until such time as the optimal dose was selected in the parent study.
The purpose of this study is to test new technology and health coaching aimed to help people with PAH become more physically active in their daily lives.
Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have reduced health related quality of life (HRQOL) and impaired exercise capacity. Despite fourteen approved therapies, most patients die within ten years. Increasing physical activity is highly efficacious in PAH, resulting in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) and HRQOL improvement that often exceeds the effect of medications. Prior activity studies required inpatient rehabilitation, which is impractical, hard to sustain, and poorly scalable to a rare disease. The Investigators propose a randomized trial of smart texts versus usual care for 6 months. The Investigators will randomize 100 PAH patients to the mHealth intervention or usual care. The Investigators will test the effect of a text-based mHealth intervention on HRQOL in PAH using the PAH-specific emPHasis-10 questionnaire. The Investigators will also test the effect of an mHealth intervention on exercise capacity, measured by a supervised home-based 6MWD test. Finally, the Investigators will examine the effect of the intervention on time to clinical worsening (composite of PAH therapy escalation, PAH hospitalization, and death) one year after randomization.
