Study Arms (2)
Treprostinil Palmitil Inhalation Powder
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive TPIP, once daily (QD), at a starting dose of 80 micrograms (μg) up to maximum tolerated dose (up to 1280 μg) for 24 weeks.
Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORParticipants will receive a TPIP-matching placebo, QD, for 24 weeks.
Interventions
Oral inhalation using a capsule-based dry powder inhaler device.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Participants must have a diagnosis of World Health Organisation (WHO) Group 1 pulmonary hypertension (PAH) in any of the following subtypes, in accordance with European Society of Cardiology European Respiratory Society (ESC/ERS) Guidelines:
- Idiopathic PAH
- Heritable PAH
- Drug/toxin-induced PAH
- Connective tissue disease (CTD)-associated PAH
- PAH associated with congenital heart disease-related to simple systemic-to-pulmonary shunt at least 1 year following repair.
- PAH diagnosis for at least 3 months prior to Screening.
- New York Heart Association (NYHA) or World Health Organization (WHO) functional class II-IV.
- Participants must be on stable PAH therapy consisting of 1 to 3 medications from the following classes:
- Endothelin receptor antagonists (eg, ambrisentan, bosentan, macitentan) for at least 90 days prior to Screening with the last 30 days on stable dose
- Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (eg, sildenafil, tadalafil) for at least 90 days prior to Screening with the last 30 days on stable dose
- Guanylate cyclase stimulator (eg, riociguat) for at least 90 days prior to Screening with the last 30 days on stable dose
- Activin signaling inhibitor (e.g., sotatercept) for at least 6 months prior to Screening, with the last 3 months on stable dose and meeting all the following conditions:
- no active clinically significant bleeding (eg, epistaxis and gingival bleeding requiring medical interventions) within the past 3 months.
- no history of major bleeding events or risks (eg, gastrointestinal or intracranial bleeding) within the past 6 months.
- +6 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Clinically significant left heart disease, including left-sided valvular disease, left ventricular systolic or diastolic dysfunction, echocardiographic findings suggestive of post-capillary pulmonary hypertension, unstable ischemic heart disease, or unstable arrhythmias.
- Evidence of airflow obstruction defined by forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) per forced vital capacity (FVC) \<0.7.
- Evidence of significant restrictive lung disease as evidenced by FVC \<70% predicted normal.
- Evidence of chronic thromboembolic disease or recent (within 6 months of Screening) acute pulmonary embolism.
- Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to treprostinil or TPIP or TPIP formulation excipients (e.g., mannitol, leucine).
- Any other medical or psychological condition including relevant laboratory abnormalities at Screening that, in the opinion of the Investigator, suggest a new and/or insufficiently understood disease and/or may present an unreasonable risk to the study participant as a result of his/her participation in this clinical trial, may impede their ability complete the study or the study assessments or confound the outcomes of the trial.
