Badanie Sotaterceptu w leczeniu Cpc-PH z powodu HFpEF (MK-7962-007/A011-16) (CADENCE)

28 sierpnia 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Acceleron Pharma, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ USA

Randomizowane, kontrolowane placebo badanie fazy 2 z podwójnie ślepą próbą oceniające wpływ sotaterceptu w porównaniu z placebo w leczeniu złożonego zawłośniczkowego i przedwłośniczkowego nadciśnienia płucnego (Cpc-PH) spowodowanego niewydolnością serca z zachowaną frakcją wyrzutową (HFpEF)

This is a Phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sotatercept versus placebo in adults with Cpc-PH due to HFpEF.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of sotatercept versus placebo in adults with Cpc-PH due to HFpEF. Efficacy is measured by change from baseline in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR, primary endpoint) and 6-minute walk distance (6MWD, key secondary endpoint).

Szczegółowy opis

Participants enrolled in the study will have a diagnosis of Cpc-PH due to HFpEF with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class (FC) II or III. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to 1 of the 3 treatment groups (placebo, 0.3mg/kg sotatercept and 0.7mg/kg sotatercept) during the placebo-controlled Treatment Period. In the extension phase, sotatercept-treated participants will continue on their current dose. Placebo participants will be re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the two sotatercept treatment groups utilized in the placebo-controlled Treatment Period. Each participant will be enrolled in the study for up to 114 weeks, including a 28-day Screening Period, a 24-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled Treatment Period, an 18-month Extension Period, and an 8-week Follow-up Period.

As of protocol amendment 6, the 18-month Extension Period is being removed. Participants who have completed at least the 24-week placebo controlled treatment period and the end of study visit, and who have not discontinued study treatment early, may be eligible to participate in an extension study.

Base Study: Change From Baseline in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) at Week 24
Ramy czasowe: Baseline and Week 24

PVR, a hemodynamic variable of pulmonary circulation, was measured by right heart catheterization (RHC). Participants missing a value at baseline were excluded from the analysis. Participants missing a value at Week 24 (other than death or experienced a clinical worsening event), multiple imputation was used to impute missing data. Participants who died, the worst-rank score was assigned. Participants missing a value at Week 24 due to a clinical worsening event, the next-worst-rank score was used. The 'Full Range' is the minimum and maximum of the 100 medians from the 100 imputed datasets.
