This trial is testing ralinepag, a medication being developed for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It aims to see if adding ralinepag to their usual treatments can improve their condition. The medication works by relaxing and opening up the blood vessels in the lungs, which can lower the pressure and improve blood flow.

This trial is testing if milrinone, a medicine that helps the heart and lungs, can improve oxygen levels in newborns with severe lung and heart problems due to CDH. These babies often don't get better with usual treatments. The goal is to see if milrinone can safely help these babies breathe easier. Milrinone is used in up to 30% of CDH infants across the United States, but no studies have tested its effectiveness or safety in these newborns.

Researchers are looking for other ways to treat people with PAH. In PAH, the blood vessels in the lungs become thick and narrow, which makes it harder for blood to flow to the lungs. The goal of the study is to learn: * What happens to different doses of sotatercept in a person's body over time when it is given using weight-banded doses compared to weight-based doses. There may be differences in how the medicine works with the new dosing method (weight-banded dosing) being studied in this trial. * About the safety of sotatercept and if people tolerate it

This trial is testing sotatercept, a new medication, to see if it can help people with a specific type of high blood pressure in the lungs (PAH) when added to their usual treatment. The study focuses on patients who are newly diagnosed and at higher risk of their condition worsening. Sotatercept aims to reduce the pressure in the lung's blood vessels, potentially slowing down disease progression. Sotatercept has shown significant reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance and maintained clinical efficacy in previous studies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Pulmonary Hypertension clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Pulmonary Hypertension clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Pulmonary Hypertension trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Pulmonary Hypertension is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Pulmonary Hypertension medical study ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Pulmonary Hypertension clinical trials ?

Most recently, we added Supplemental Oxygen for Pulmonary Hypertension, Empagliflozin + Ranolazine for Right Ventricular Dysfunction and Mechanical Circulatory Support for Heart Failure to the Power online platform.
