What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival is the duration from first dose to death. For participants who are lost to follow-up, survival was censored at the last date of follow-up.

    Measured: Baseline and every 12 weeks up to Week 18

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Baseline in 6 Minute Walk Distance at Weeks 12 and 24

    The walk distance was the total distance walked during the 6-minute test. Change is distance walked at week x minus distance walked at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 12 up to Early Termination (ET) (up to Week 18)

  2. Number of Participants in Each World Health Organization (WHO) Functional Class of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)

    The WHO functional classes of PAH range from Class 1 (no limitation in physical activity) to Class IV (can not perform a physical activity without any symptoms).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12 and ET (up to Week 18)

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2018. 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, Romania, Ukraine. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 20 Feb 2012). 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?

Overall Survival (time frame: Baseline and every 12 weeks up to Week 18). 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?
