A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Inhaled Mosliciguat in Participants With Pulmonary Hypertension Associated With Interstitial Lung Disease

A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Inhaled Mosliciguat in Participants with Pulmonary Hypertension Associated with Interstitial Lung Disease

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study is a randomized double-blind placebo control 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 receive mosliciguat.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants willing and able to provide informed consent.
  • Participants with diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Diagnosis will be confirmed by a high-resolution computerized tomography (HR-CT) scan showing diffuse parenchymal disease. Eligible diagnosed disease include:

    1. Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP)
    2. Chronic Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
    3. ILD associated connective tissue disease (CTD)
  • Confirmed pulmonary hypertension by right heart catheterization (RHC).
  • Ability to perform 6-minute walk distance ≥100 meters.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of PH Group 1 (eg, pulmonary arterial hypertension), Group 2 (related to left heart disease), Group 4 (eg, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension), or Group 5 (eg, unclassified).
  • Exacerbation of underlying lung disease requiring change in therapy or hospitalization within 28 days prior to randomization
  • Receiving >10 L/min oxygen supplementation by any mode of delivery at rest
  • History of intolerance to mosliciguat, or sGC stimulators or activators.
  • Initiation of pulmonary rehabilitation or ongoing acute phase of rehabilitation within 28 days prior to randomization.
  • Receipt of investigational or interventional therapy within 42 days OR 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to randomization.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in 6-Minute Walk Distance (6MWD)
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
The 6MWD measures the distance a participant is able to walk quickly on a flat, hard surface in a period of 6 minutes
Baseline to Week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to Clinical Worsening (TTCW)
Time Frame: From randomization through Week 24

Time from randomization to first occurrence of any of the following events as adjudicated by the independent Event Adjudication Committee (EAC).

  1. Hospitalization >24 hours due to a cardiopulmonary indication
  2. Decrease in 6MWD >15% from baseline directly related to PH-ILD, at two consecutive visits on a different day but no more than 7 days apart
  3. Death (all causes)
  4. Lung transplantation for worsening PH (except when pre-planned prior to the trial)
  5. Need to initiate additional therapeutic intervention for the treatment of PH
From randomization through Week 24
Percent Change from Baseline in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR)
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
PVR evaluated using right heart catheterization (RHC)
Baseline to Week 24
Change from Baseline in N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP)
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
The NT-ProBNP serum concentrations 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 24.
Baseline to Week 24
Change from Baseline in Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis (L-PF) Total Symptom Score
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
Change from baseline to Week 24 in L-PF total symptom scores (patient-reported outcome).
Baseline to Week 24
