  • Ages 5 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) as defines by a mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) of 25 mmHg or greater by cardiac catheterization within the previous 12 months AND/OR Patients with chronic lung disease with severe impairment of gas exchange unresponsive to conventional medical management.

About this study

Official title: Development of a Hospital-Based Home Program for the Use of Inhaled Nitric Oxide in the Chronic Management of Severe Cardiopulmonary Diseases

The purpose of this program is to evaluate the logistic issues and patient requirements for chronic pulsed INOmax delivery in ambulatory, home-care patients. To understand patient needs, patients with a variety of underlying diseases will be included. Safety of chronic therapy will be monitored by serial measurements of methemoglobin, platelet function assay and reported adverse events.

Read the detailed description

This study will help develop a comprehensive home care program using INOmax delivery systems. This study will enroll a limited number of patients (5-7) from several disease categories in order to develop the experience with testing acute and chronic responsiveness to INO therapy. The following groups will be tested:

  1. Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH)
  2. Severe pulmonary hypertension due to congenital (anatomic) heart disease
  3. Pulmonary hypertension or severe impairment of gas exchange in infants and children with chronic lung disease
  4. Pulmonary hypertension or severe impairment of gas exchange due to severe chronic lung disease in adults
  5. Pulmonary hypertension or severe impairment of gas exchange in hematologic and transplant disorders - young children and adults with sickle cell disease, chronic lung disease after bone marrow transplant, cardiac transplant, or lung transplant
Being tested
Inhaled Nitric Oxide
Medical subject headings
Hypertension, Pulmonary, Lung Diseases, Anemia, Sickle Cell

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Inhaled Nitric OxideDrug

    Also called INOmax®

    Inhaled Nitric Oxide will be delivered through the INOpulse® at a Low Dose Range (3mL to 10mL; in 1mL increments) and Ultra Low Dose Ranges (0.5mL to 4mL; 0.5mL, then 1 to 4mL in 1mL increments).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Methemoglobin level

    Measured: 24 and 72 hours after treatment start, then at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Vital Signs

    Measured: taken at 1, 2, 3, 4, 24, and 72 hours after treatment begins, then at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

  2. Pulse Oximetry

    Measured: taken at 1, 2, 3, 4, 24, and 72 hours after treatment start and then at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

  3. Adverse Event Occurence

    Measured: Study Duration

  4. Echocardiogram

    Measured: At 72 hours after treatment start, then at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Inhaled Nitric Oxide in people with Pulmonary Hypertension and Lung Disease, run by Mallinckrodt at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Closed for lack of enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Methemoglobin level (time frame: 24 and 72 hours after treatment start, then at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Sep 2016.
