A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of PDNO Infusion in Covid-19 Patients With aPH
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is an open-label, multicentre study evaluating the effect, safety and tolerability of the two regio isomers 1-(nitrosooxy)propan-2-ol and 2- (nitrosooxy)propan-1-ol (PDNO) infusion given to COVID-19 patients with acute pulmonary hypertension (aPH).

Detailed Description
This is an open-label, multicentre study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the two regio isomers 1-(nitrosooxy)propan-2-ol and 2- (nitrosooxy)propan-1-ol (PDNO) infusion given to COVID-19 patients with acute pulmonary hypertension (aPH) and/or Acute Cor Pulmonale (ACP). PDNO is developed to be used as part of peri- and post-operative pulmonary hypåertension (PH) treatment in adults in conjunction to heart surgery, to selectively decrease pulmonary arterial pressure and improve Right ventricular (RV) function and oxygenation. Current treatment options for aPH in patients with COVID-19 are limited. In addition to the hemodynamic effects, it is believed to be beneficial to use an iv-administered lung-selective Nitrogen Oxide (NO) donor that will more effectively reach affected areas in the lung and give maximal NO-exposure to the endothelium. The potential antiviral effects of NO, by inhibition of receptor binding and inhibition of earlystage virus replication, are also part of the rational to evaluate the benefits of using of PDNO in COVID-19 patients.
