Comparison of Inhaled Nitric Oxide and Oxygen in Participants Reactivity During Acute Pulmonary Vasodilator Testing

December 6, 2019 updated by: Mallinckrodt

Comparison of Supplemental Oxygen and Nitric Oxide for Inhalation Plus Oxygen in the Evaluation of the Reactivity of the Pulmonary Vasculature During Acute Pulmonary Vasodilator Testing

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the number of participants with reversible pulmonary hypertension (vasoreactivity) due to nitric oxide for inhalation and oxygen as compared to 100% oxygen.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Must have any one of these three disease categories:

    • Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

      • Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAPm) > 25 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) at rest, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) ≤ 15 mmHg, and PVRI> 3 u•m^2 or diagnosed clinically with no previous catheterization
    • Congenital heart disease (CHD) with pulmonary hypertension repaired and unrepaired

      • PAPm > 25 mmHg at rest and PVRI> 3 u•m^2 or diagnosed clinically with no previous catheterization
    • Cardiomyopathy

      • PAPm > 25 mmHg at rest and Pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI)> 3 u•m^2 or diagnosed clinically with no previous catheterization
  2. Scheduled to undergo right heart catheterization to assess pulmonary vasoreactivity by acute pulmonary vasodilation testing.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Reversible Pulmonary Hypertension (Vasoreactivity)
Time Frame: on Day 1
A composite of hemodynamic measurements were used to identify reversible pulmonary hypertension (vasoreactivity)
on Day 1

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Related Surgical Procedures Within 1 Year
Time Frame: within 1 year
Number of participants who received surgery for pulmonary or cardiac disease within 1 year after treatment.
within 1 year
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: on Day 1
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence. An AE need not have a causal relationship with treatment and included any event that was not seen at baseline or, if present at baseline, increased in severity.
on Day 1
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: within 12 hours
SAEs were collected during the 12 hours after discontinuation of gas or discharge (whichever came first). An SAE was defined as any event that resulted in death, was life threatening, resulted in permanent disability or incapacity, required or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, or was a congenital anomaly. Important medical events that, without medical or surgical intervention, would also have resulted in one of the outcomes listed above were also considered as SAEs.
within 12 hours
Number of Participants With Related Surgical Procedures Within 3 Years
Time Frame: within 3 years
Number of participants who received surgery related to pulmonary or cardiac disease within 3 years
within 3 years
