What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Six Minutes Walk Distance (6MWD) at Week 12

    Mean change from baseline was calculated as the Week 12 value minus the baseline value. 6MWD was measured by a 6 minute walk test. This test measures the distance that a subject can walk in a period of 6 minutes.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Six Minutes Walk Distance (6MWD) at Week 24/Withdrawal

    Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 24/Withdrawal value minus the basline value. 6MWD was measured by a 6 minute walk test. This test measures the distance that a subject can walk in a period of 6 minutes. Imputation technique was last observation carried forward.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 24/Withdrawal

  2. Mean Change From Baseline in the Borg Dyspnea Index (BDI) at Weeks 12 and 24

    The BDI was calculated by using a 10-point scale (0 = None, 10 = Maximum). Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 12 and 24 values minus the baseline values. The BDI indicates the degree of breathlessness after completion of the 6 minute walk test. The BDI scale was assessed by each participant. Imputation technique was last observation carried forward.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24

  3. Number of Participants With a Change From Baseline in Their World Health Organization (WHO) Functional Classification (FC) at Weeks 12 and 24

    There are four grades for WHO FC (class I = none, Class IV = most severe). The WHO FC indicates the severity of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and is an adaptation of the New York Heart Association classification. It was assessed by the investigator. Imputation technique was last observation carried forward.

    Measured: Weeks 12 and 24

  4. Number of Participants With the Indicated Event, as an Assessment of Time to Clinical Worsening of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) at Week 24, Assessed as the First Occurrence of a Particular Event

    Time to clinical worsening is defined as the time from baseline to the first occurrence of death, lung transplantation, hospitalization for PAH treatment, atrial septostomy, or study discontinuation due to change to other PAH treatment. Time to clinical worsening is measured as the number of participants who experienced these events during 24 weeks.

    Measured: Week 24

  5. Mean Change From Baseline in Mean Pulmonary Atery Pressure (mPAP) and Mean Right Atrial Pressure (mRAP) at Weeks 12 and 24

    mPAP and mRAP are measures of cardiopulmonary hemodynamics. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 12 and 24 values minus the baseline value. Observed data analysis (no imputation techniques).

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24

  6. Mean Change From Baseline in Cardiac Index (CI) at Weeks 12 and 24

    CI is a measure of cardiopulmonary hemodynamics. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 12 and 24 values minus the baseline value. Observed data analysis (no imputation techniques).

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24

  7. Mean Change From Baseline in Cardiac Output (CO) at Weeks 12 and 24

    CO is a measure of cardiopulmonary hemodynamics. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 12 and 24 values minus the baseline value. Observed data analysis (no imputation techniques).

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24

  8. Mean Change From Baseline in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) at Weeks 12 and 24

    PVR is a measure of cardiopulmonary hemodynamics. Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 12 and 24 values minus the baseline value. Observed data analysis (no imputation techniques).

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24

  9. Mean Change From Baseline in B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) Values at Weeks 12 and 24

    Change from baseline was calculated as the Week 12 and 24 values minus the baseline value. BNP is a surrogate maker of heart failure and was measured by a central laboratory. Observed data analysis (no imputation techniques).

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GSK1325760A in people with Hypertension, Pulmonary, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 15 sites in Japan.

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 6 inclusion and 0 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Japan. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Nov 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Mean Change From Baseline in Six Minutes Walk Distance (6MWD) at Week 12 (time frame: Baseline and Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00540436, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Oct 2012.
