Findings of a study published in Thorax (BMJ Journals) highlights the importance of integrating pulmonary arterial hypertension patients’ perceptions in the elaboration of clinical trials – May 4, 2023

The aim of this study was to investigate the value given by patients’ and caregivers’ to components of composite outcomes in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) clinical trials. There were 335 participants, of which 257 were patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The study findings revealed that most outcomes were considered of major or mild-to-moderate importance to

Effects of an inhaled soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator MK-5475 in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), in Respiratory Medicine, January 2023

This Phase 1 study evaluated efficacy/safety of inhaled single-dose MK-5475, an investigational, small-molecule stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase designed for inhaled delivery via a dry-powder inhaler device, in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The findings reveal that treatment with inhaled single-dose MK-5475 reduced pulmonary vascular resistance and increased pulmonary blood volume. Compared to the placebo, MK-5475 was
