NCT02744339

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to

  • Assess the pharmacodynamic profile of riociguat in subjects with symptomatic pulmonary hypertension and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction The secondary objectives of this study are to
  • Assess safety and tolerability of riociguat in this study population
  • Assess changes in dimensions of left and right ventricles and cardiac function parameters using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • to \<80 years of age at the time of informed consent (The lower age limit may be higher if legally required in participating countries.)

You may not qualify if:

  • PH-HF-PEF defined as:
  • LVEF ≥50%, diagnosed by echocardiography or left heart catheterization (LHC) within 30 days before randomization
  • PAPmean ≥25 mmHg at rest, measured by RHC
  • PAWP \>15 mmHg at rest, measured by RHC
  • Optimized therapy for hypertension
  • The dose regimen of the background treatment must have been stable for \>30 days before randomization. Diuretic therapy must have been stable for ≥1 week.
  • RHC results for the definite diagnosis of PH not older than 12 weeks at Visit 1. RHC must have been performed in the participating center under standardized conditions
  • CMRI must be performed at Visit 1 (baseline) or must not be older than 12 weeks with all parameters measured as listed in Section 7.3.3
  • Women are eligible if not of childbearing potential, defined as:
  • Postmenopausal women (i.e. last menstrual bleeding at least 2 years before randomization)
  • Women with bilateral tubal ligation
  • Women with bilateral ovariectomy
  • Women with hysterectomy or, if of childbearing potential, women are eligible if
  • A serum pregnancy test is negative at the pre-study visit, and The woman uses a combination of condoms and a safe and highly effective contraception method (hormonal contraception with implants or combined oral contraceptives, certain intrauterine devices) for the entire duration of the study.
  • Able to understand and follow instructions and to participate in the study for its entire duration
  • +32 more criteria
