Phase 2 trial on new investigational treatment for pulmonary hypertension associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF) completes enrolment, Pulmonary Hypertension News, June 15, 2026

Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PH-HFpEF) is classified as Group 2 pulmonary hypertension by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is a type of heart failure in which the heart still pumps normally but becomes too stiff to fill properly with blood between heartbeats. This can cause pressure to build

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
