A Study of Mosliciguat in PH-ILD (PHocus)

September 9, 2026 updated by: Pulmovant, Inc.

A Phase 2, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Mosliciguat in Participants With Pulmonary Hypertension Associated With Interstitial Lung Disease

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled mosliciguat in participants with pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with an extension.

The study consists of 2 periods: a blinded placebo-controlled period (24 weeks) and an extension (beyond 24 weeks).

Participants will be randomized to receive mosliciguat or placebo in the 24-week double-blind treatment period.

All participants who complete the 24-week double-blind period may continue to participate in the extension period where all participants will receive mosliciguat.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants willing and able to provide informed consent
  • Participants with diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). Diagnosis will be confirmed by a high-resolution computerized tomography (HR-CT) scan showing diffuse parenchymal disease. Eligible diagnosed diseases include one of the following:

    1. Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP)
    2. Chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis
    3. ILD associated with connective tissue disease (CTD) with a forced vital capacity (FVC) < 70% of predicted
  • Confirmed pulmonary hypertension (PH) by right heart catheterization (RHC).
  • Ability to perform 6MWT ≥100 meters.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of WHO PH Group 1 (eg. pulmonary arterial hypertension), Group 2 (related to left-heart dysfunction), Group 4 (eg, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension), or Group 5 (eg, unclassified).
  • Exacerbation of underlying lung disease requiring augmentation of therapy or emergent hospitalization within 28 days prior to randomization.
  • Initiation of pulmonary rehabilitation within 28 days prior to randomization.
  • Receiving >10 L/min of oxygen supplementation by any mode of delivery at rest at Baseline.
  • History or intolerance to or lack of efficacy with mosliciguat or sGC stimulators or activators.
  • Receipt of investigational, or experimental therapy within 42 days OR 5 half-lives prior to randomization.

Note: Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline to Week 16 in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 16
PVR evaluated using right heart catheterization (RHC).
Baseline, Week 16

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline to Week 16 in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 16
The NT-proBNP serum concentration is a useful biomarker associated with changes in right heart morphology and function. NT-proBNP serum concentration will be assessed to compare the severity of heart failure at Baseline and Week 16.
Baseline, Week 16
Change from Baseline to Week 16 in Distance Achieved on the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 16
The 6MWT measures the distance a participant is able to walk quickly on a flat, hard surface in a period of 6 minutes.
Baseline, Week 16
