Study summary

This study will look at safety and tolerability of LIQ861 (treprostinil) inhalation powder in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, WHO Group 1) who switch from selexipag, a medicine taken by mouth, to treprostinil, a medicine breathed into the lungs.

Everyone who takes part will receive LIQ861. On the first study day, participants will stop taking selexipag and begin taking LIQ861 four times a day using a small handheld dry powder inhaler. The dose may be increased over time based on how well it is tolerated. Participants will take LIQ861 for 16 weeks.

The study will also look at whether switching to LIQ861 affects walking distance, a blood marker of heart strain, and symptoms reported by participants.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female 18 to 80 years of age
  • Documented findings on right heart catheterization consistent with a diagnosis of WHO Group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension of one of the following subtypes: idiopathic PAH; heritable PAH; drug- or toxin-induced PAH; PAH associated with connective tissue disease; or PAH associated with simple congenital systemic-to-pulmonary shunts repaired at least 1 year previously
  • Receiving selexipag at any dose between 200 and 1600 mcg twice daily for at least 90 days, and willing and able to transition from selexipag to LIQ861 due to unsatisfactory clinical response or tolerability issues
  • May be receiving up to 2 additional approved non-prostacyclin oral PAH therapies at a stable dose and regimen, planned to continue unchanged for the duration of the study
  • Functional Class II or III
  • Able to demonstrate correct use of the dry powder inhaler

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pulmonary hypertension in WHO Group 2, 3, 4, or 5, or a WHO Group 1 subtype not listed in the inclusion criteria
  • left-sided heart disease by echocardiography, including ≤ 45%, left atrial volume index > 48 mL/m², or hemodynamically significant valvular disease
  • Symptomatic coronary artery disease within the previous 6 months
  • Prior atrial septostomy
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
