Exploring the therapeutic potential of GLP-1 receptor agonists in pulmonary arterial hypertension, European Respiratory Journal, May 2026

GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are drugs originally developed for diabetes and obesity. In experimental models of pulmonary arterial hypertension GLP-1RA’s administration attenuates the severity of pulmonary hypertension. Additional studies highlight their ability to protect against lung fibrosis and preserve endothelial function. No clinical trials have yet tested GLP-1RAs specifically in pulmonary arterial hypertension, though observational

Haemodynamic Responses to Sotatercept and Parenteral Prostacyclins in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Patients, Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, June 1, 2026

French researchers retrospectively evaluated the haemodynamic trajectory of 62 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who sequentially received parenteral prostacyclins and sotatercept as part of the French early access program. They found that both treatments lowered the resistance in the blood vessels of the lungs, making it easier for blood to flow. However, the treatments worked
