About this study

Official title: Effect of Endothelin Receptor Antagonist Bosentan in Glucose Metabolism of the Myocardium and Coronary Dependant Endothelial Vasoreactivity Measured by 18F-FDG PET / CT and 82Rb PET / CT in Patients With PAH or CTEPH

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of bosentan on the myocardial metabolism and the dependent endothelial coronary vasomotoricity in patients presenting a PAH.

Hypothesis : Bosentan may improve right ventricular function by decreasing myocardial stress and glucose metabolism. Patients may benefit from images with 18F-FDG PET / CT and 82Rb PET / CT for an earlier assessment and optimal management of PAH.

Read the detailed description

Patients refered to the hospital for a right heart catheterization for a PAH suspected at the echocardiography will be presented with the protocol.If inclusion/exclusion criteria are fulfilled all the procedures will be planned. At the screening visit the patient will have a right heart catheterization and an echocardiography. After a maximum of 4 weeks each patient will have 18F-FDG and 82Rb PET/CTs before start of treatment with Bosentan. These PET/CTs together with an echocardiography will be repeated at 6 and 12 weeks after start of treatment with bosentan.

Finally a right heart catheterization will be planned at 12 weeks after start of treatment with bosentan as a routine procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocardial Dysfunction and Endothelial Dysfunction, run by University of Lausanne Hospitals at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 5 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 23 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Slow patient recruitment after arrival of macitentan on the market). 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?

Analysis of each method of imaging for assessment of myocardial metabolism (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 20 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Mar 2020.
