7 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Oral selexipag is commercially available in several countries for the treatment of a particular group of pulmonary hypertension (PH) called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The aim of the present study is to investigate whether selexipag could be helpful to treat patients with another form of PH called sarcoidosis-associated pulmonary hypertension (SAPH).
Double blind placebo controlled trial of riociguat for sarcoidosis associated pulmonary hypertension
Registry to follow patients with sarcoidosis associated pulmonary hypertension
This study is designed to assess safety and efficacy of tadalafil in patients with Sarcoidosis Associated Pulmonary Hypertension. Hypothesis: Tadalafil is safe and effective in treating pulmonary hypertension in patients with Sarcoidosis
Hypothesis: Ambrisentan (Letairis ®) is safe and effective in treating pulmonary hypertension in patients with Sarcoidosis
Patients with advanced sarcoidosis often develop pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is a condition where the right side of the heart has to push the blood though the lungs at a higher pressure than normal. Since this pressure is higher, it is harder for the heart to pump the blood through the lungs to the left side of the body. If the blood can not get through the lungs, it can not get pumped through the rest of the body. This leads to weakness and shortness of breath. This type of hypertension does not usually respond to regular blood pressure medicines. The purpose of this study is to determine if bosentan (Tracleer) will help sarcoidosis associated pulmonary hypertension.
This trial will study the treatment of sarcoidosis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension with inhaled iloprost, a drug approved for primary pulmonary arterial hypertension.
