A Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Treprostinil to Facilitate Liver Transplantation in Patients With Portopulmonary Hypertension
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This was a multicenter, prospective, observational, open-label study. Patients meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria received treatment with treprostinil as recommended by their treating physicians and were followed according to standard of care. This observational study collected clinical data and biologic specimens from patients who were treated for portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH), with a goal of achieving hemodynamic parameters appropriate for orthotopic liver transplantation candidacy, including mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) less than 35 mmHg and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) less than 3 Wood-units (WU) at Week 24 in patients with severe PoPH.

Detailed Description
Treprostinil is approved as a continuous subcutaneous (SC) or intravenous (IV) infusion by the FDA for the treatment of WHO group I PAH with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class II, III or IV symptomatology. To date, treprostinil has not been studied in the setting of PoPH; however, it is commonly prescribed in this setting. This was an observational, open-label, multicenter study which documented the safety and efficacy profile of this agent in PoPH to facilitate orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).

Portopulmonary hypertension
|
Drug: Treprostinil
Remodulin is supplied in concentrations of 1, 2.5 , 5, and 10 mg/mL and can be administered as supplied or diluted for intravenous (IV) infusion prior to administration.
Remodulin is indicated for subcutaneous (SC) or IV use only as a continuous infusion. Remodulin is preferably infused subcutaneously, but can be administered by a central IV line if the SC route is not tolerated. The infusion rate is initiated at 1.25 ng/kg/min. If this initial dose cannot be tolerated because of systemic effects, the infusion rate should be reduced to 0.625 ng/kg/min.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of Subjects Who Achieved Hemodynamic Parameters Appropriate for Orthotopic Liver Transplantation Candidacy at Week 24. [24 Weeks]
The primary efficacy endpoint was the number of subjects who achieved a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) less than 35 mmHg and a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) less than 3 Wood units (WU) at Week 24 in patients with severe portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in Hemodynamic Parameters (Via Right Heart Catheterization [RHC]) at Rest From Baseline to Week 24 [24 weeks]
The change in hemodynamic parameters (including systolic pulmonary arterial pressure [PAPs], diastolic pulmonary arterial pressure [PAPd], mean pulmonary arterial pressure [mPAP], and transpulmonary gradient [TPG]) was evaluated at rest from Baseline to Week 24. The median change in hemodynamic parameters from Baseline to Week 24 via right-heart catheterization (RHC) is presented.
- Change in Heart Rate at Rest From Baseline to Week 24 [24 weeks]
The change in heart rate was evaluated at rest from Baseline to Week 24.
- Change in Cardiac Output at Rest From Baseline to Week 24 [24 weeks]
The change in cardiac output was evaluated at rest from Baseline to Week 24. The median change in cardiac output from Baseline to Week 24 is presented.
- Change in Arterial and Venous Oxygen Saturation at Rest From Baseline to Week 24 [24 weeks]
The change in arterial and venous oxygen saturation was evaluated at rest from Baseline to Week 24.
- Change in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) at Rest From Baseline to Week 24 [24 weeks]
The change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was evaluated at rest from Baseline to Week 24.
- Change in 6-minute Walk Distance (6MWD) From Baseline to Weeks 12 and 24. [Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24]
The 6-Minute Walk Test was conducted at Screening, Baseline prior to starting study drug and at least 24 hours after the Screening test, and during the Treatment Phase at Weeks 12 and 24.
- Change in Echocardiogram Parameters (Right Atrium and Right Ventricle Area) From Baseline to Weeks 12 and 24 [Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24]

- Change in Quality of Life From Baseline to Weeks 12 and 24 [Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24]
The 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) is a health related quality of life instrument, which measures dimensions of physical and social roles and functioning, mental health, vitality, and pain. Items are scored on a 0 to 100 range so that the lowest scores represent the highest disability. The quality of life assessment was conducted at Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24 and the change from Baseline to Weeks 12 and 24 is presented.
- Change in Plasma Brain N-terminal Pro-brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) From Baseline to Weeks 12 and 24 [Baseline to Weeks 12 and 24]
NT-proBNP was assessed at Baseline, Weeks 12 and 24.
