About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase II Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Riociguat (0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 1.5 mg, 2.0 mg and 2.5 mg TID) in Patients With Symptomatic Pulmonary Hypertension Associated With Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias (IIP).

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 26-weeks of treatment with riociguat vs. placebo in patients with symptomatic PH (pulmonary hypertension) associated with IIP (idiopathic interstitial pneumonias).

What participants receive

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

  • Riociguat (Adempas, BAY63-2521)Drug

    Active drug 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 1.5 mg, 2.0 mg and 2.5 mg TID/day as per individual dose titration. The starting dose will be 0.5 mg TID, and the dose will be adjusted every two weeks for ten weeks in 0.5 mg increments up to a maximum dose of 2.5 mg TID based on patient's systolic blood pressure and well-being.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Inactive dosed at 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 1.5 mg, 2.0 mg and 2.5 mg TID/day as per individual dose titration for 26 weeks

Study groups in NCT02138825
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Riociguat (Adempas, BAY63-2521)ExperimentalIn the main study treatment phase participants received Riociguat titrated to optimal dose within range of 0.5 mg TID (3 times a day) to 2.5 mg TID for 10 weeks followed by maintenance period of 16 weeks. This phase was followed by a long-term extension phase, which included a blinded sham titration phase of 10 weeks followed by an open-label extension phase. During the open-label extension phase participants were to be treated with Riociguat until commercial access in the indication of pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP) or until an agreed time point is defined with the individual country, local regulatory authority and the Sponsor's global team.
Receives: Drug: Riociguat (Adempas, BAY63-2521)

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change in 6 Minute Walking Distance (6MWD) From Baseline to Week 26

    The 6MWD test is designed to evaluate a patient's exercise capacity while performing an everyday activity.

    Measured: Baseline to 26 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Clinical Worsening

    The combined endpoint "time to clinical worsening", made up of the following components, defined by the first occurrence: all-cause mortality; need for hospitalization due to worsening cardiopulmonary (CP) status, attributable to progression of disease (including but not limited to increased shortness of breath or increased leg swelling); >15% decrease in the 6MWD test; worsening of WHO functional class.

    Measured: From baseline to week 26

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Why it stopped: Study terminated per recommendation of iDMC. On iDMC request, protocol amended to include 4-month safety follow-up for patients after withdrawal of riociguat.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Riociguat (Adempas, BAY63-2521) in people with Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias / Hypertension,Pulmonary, run by Bayer at 93 sites in 21 countries.

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 19 inclusion and 12 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 4 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 93 sites in United States, Germany, Australia, Argentina, Italy and 16 more countries. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 5 Jun 2017). 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 in 6 Minute Walking Distance (6MWD) From Baseline to Week 26 (time frame: Baseline to 26 weeks). 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 NCT02138825, 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 4 Dec 2017.
