Detaljeret beskrivelse

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is characterized by non-resolving organized thromboembolic obstructing the pulmonary vascular bed. These thrombi are resistant to thrombolytic therapy and chronic plasmatic anticoagulation. An increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), right ventricular overload, and eventually right ventricular failure ensue.

The treatment of choice for CTEPH is pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), providing a potential cure for the disease. However, about 50 % of patients are not candidates for surgery, mainly because of distal location of thromboemboli. Despite recent advances in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), medical treatments have not been recommended for inoperable CTEPH, because of the concept that a predominantly major vessel obstructive arteriopathy would not be suitable for vasodilators. Furthermore, a major drawback of i.v. prostacyclin therapy is the need for a permanent central venous access that increases the risk of infection (0.22-0.68 per patient per year), thrombosis and new major vessel thromboembolism.

Beskrivelse

  1. Subject must be competent to understand the information given in the written informed consent and from the investigator and must sign and date the informed consent prior to any study mandated procedure.
  2. Subject must be at least 18 years of age and can be of any ethnical origin
  3. Women of child bearing potential must be surgically sterile or postmenopausal (amenorrhea for at least 12 months) or using an acceptable form of contraception. Reliable contraception is defined as a method which results in a low failure rate, i.e., less than 1% per year when used correctly such as, implants, injectables, oral contraceptive medications, sexual abstinence, or a vasectomised partner.

  4. Subject must have a current diagnosis of CTEPH, as defined by the following criteria:

    • A test result of perfusion scintigraphy and pulmonary angiography and/or multislice CT not older than 6 months, consistent with the diagnosis CTEPH. In case of recurrent PH after PEA, test results from before the surgery are acceptable if a typical specimen was harvested during PEA substantiating the diagnosis of CTEPH.
    • A right heart catheterization, not older than 6 months, consistent with the diagnosis CTEPH but specifically with a mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAPm) of > 25 mmHg, and a PVR of > 300 dyn.s.cm-5

    • An un-encouraged 6MWT distance of between 150 and 400 meters
    • Classification in the WHO/New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III or IV

  6. The subject must not be suitable to undergo a PEA and is therefore defined as non-operable, due to at least one of the following reasons:

    • Clot is not accessible
    • Discrepancy between severity of PH and morphologic lesion
    • Subject is not a good surgical candidate for other reasons:

    PVR > 1500 dynes.s.cm-5 Age Comorbidity No functional lung parenchyma

    • Unsuccessful PEA in the past with residual/recurrent CTEPH
    • No consent for PEA given by subject

Exclusion:

  1. Subject with any form of pulmonary arterial hypertension or any disease known to cause PAH (WHO Group I)
  2. Subjects with a total lung capacity (TLC) of < 70% predicted or a forced expiratory volume/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC < 50%)
  3. Subject who received any prostanoids, within the 30 days before screening or be scheduled to receive prostanoids during the course of the study
  4. Subject with a new type of chronic therapy (a different category of vasodilator or diuretic) for PAH added within the last month, except anticoagulants
  5. Subject with an increased risk for hemorrhage or stroke or with a major cardiovascular event during the past 6 months.
  6. Unstable subjects for any reason (according to the investigators discretion)
  7. Subject who received any investigational medication within 30 days prior to the screening visit of this study or be scheduled to receive another investigational drug during the course of this study
  8. Subject with a known intolerance to any drug relevant for this trial, especially to Treprostinil sodium or prostanoids
  9. Subject with a history or suspicion of non compliance
  10. Subject who has any musculoskeletal disease or any other disease that would limit ambulation
  11. Subject with other cardiovascular, liver, renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal immunologic, endocrine, metabolic, or central nervous system disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, may adversely affect the safety of the subject and /or efficacy of the study drug or limit the lifespan of the subject

Aktiv komparator: Treprostinil sodium low dose - Arm I

Arm I (low dose):

Subject was treated with a low dose of Treprostinil sodium. Dose was escalated to an approximate target dose of 3 ng/kg/min after the first 12 weeks and was kept stable for another 12 weeks.

Due to the predefined infusion rate setting schedule an interim dose of up to 6 ng/kg/min could be reached for few days at the end of the phases 1,2 and 3.

This depended on the patient's exact weight and is caused by the limited infusion rate setting possibility of the infusion pump.

Tidsramme
Number of Participants With Clinical Worsening
Tidsramme: 12 weeks and 24 weeks

Clinical worsening defined as a decrease of 6-minute walk test distance of more than 20% from baseline due to Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension, decrease of New York Heart Association functional class, hospitalization with the requirement for additional Pulmonary Hypertension specific treatment and/or death due to worsening Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension.

Clinical Worsening was assessed after 12 weeks and 24 weeks, participants experiencing clinical worsening at any time-point are reported.
12 weeks and 24 weeks
Effect on Maximal Borg Score During 6-minutes Walk Test
Tidsramme: Baseline and 24 weeks

The Borg scale was used for rating of dyspnea during 6-minutes walk test. The scale is defined from 0 to > 10 (upper bound) (0 = NOTHING AT ALL; 0.5 = VERY VERY SLIGHT (just noticeable); 1 = VERY SLIGHT; 2 = SLIGHT; 3 = MODERATE; 4 = SOMEWHAT SEVERE; 5 = SEVERE; 6-9 = VERY SEVERE; 10 = VERY VERY SEVERE (almost maximum); >10 MAXIMUM).

As can be seen with the scale, the higher scale values represent a worse outcome.

As no imputation rule applied only full-data sets were evaluated. Complete data sets were available for 48 patients randomized to high dose group and 48 patients in low dose group.
Baseline and 24 weeks
Change in WHO/NYHA (World Health Organization - New York Heart Association) Functional Class
Tidsramme: Baseline and 24 weeks

Class I - Patients with pulmonary hypertension but without resulting limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain or near syncope.

Class II - Patients with pulmonary hypertension resulting in slight limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity causes undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain or near syncope.

Class III - Patients with pulmonary hypertension resulting in marked limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary activity causes undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain or near syncope

Class IV - Patients with pulmonary hypertension in the inability to carry out any physical activity without symptoms. These patients manifest signs of right heart failure. Dyspnea and/or fatigue may even be present at rest. Discomfort is increased by any physical activity.
Baseline and 24 weeks
Effect on Quality of Life by the MINNESOTA Questionnaire
Tidsramme: Baseline and 24 weeks

This questionnaire is composed of 21 questions relating to limitations in lifestyle associated with Heart Failure. Respondents use a 5-point scale that ranges from 0 (none) to 5 (too much), with a score of 0 representing no limitation and a score of 5 representing maximum limitation. The change in individual score sum was evaluated and is displayed in the results, with a possible range of 0-105. Higher values indicate more limitations in Quality of Life.

As no imputation rule applied only full-data sets were evaluated. Complete data sets were available for 50 patients randomized to high dose group and 46 patients in low dose group.
