A Phase 1 interventional study of TransCon PEG treprostinil in PAH, sponsored by United Therapeutics. Withdrawn at 1 site in United States. Open to male participants aged 18 Years to 50 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-08-07.

TransCon PEG treprostinil is a novel prodrug form of treprostinil, in which treprostinil is reversibly conjugated via a four-arm branched polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecule. Reversible coupling of treprostinil to PEG should allow for a modified extended pharmacokinetic profile to achieve sustained plasma concentrations of treprostinil.
This will be the first investigation of TransCon PEG treprostinil in humans. This study aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of escalating single doses of a subcutaneous injection of TransCon PEG treprostinil.
United Therapeutics is the lead sponsor of 81 studies on the registry; 6 are open to participants now.
Of its 17 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 14 (82%) have results posted.
