Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Acute secondary pulmonary hypertension (PH) often leads to dysfunction of the right ventricle (RV) and can be a significant cause of patient morbidity and mortality. Selective pulmonary vasodilation with inhaled nitric oxide (INO) has become the treatment of choice for this condition. The evidence supporting INO safety and efficacy under these circumstances is sparse, however, and is largely extrapolated from the use of INO in neonatal pulmonary hypertension. Moreover, the high cost and potential toxicity of INO makes the therapy far from ideal. Emerging evidence suggests that inhaled aerosolized prostacyclins such as iloprost may be a favorable alternative therapy.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Inhaled Iloprost
Phase 4

Detailed Description

Phase 1- In the original study, 3 doses of Iloprost were given. This was revised after 5 subjects were enrolled in order to study the effects of continuous delivery over a longer period of time.

Phase 2 - All remaining subjects received Iloprost as a continuous treatment.

The study was designed for an enrollment of 200 subjects and was ended early.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Phase 2: Inhaled Iloprost continuous

Each subject will have a stable dose of INO therapy as established by the attending physicians for at least one hour. Initial baseline data collection will then be made. A 20 mcg dose of Iloprost will be given initially. During this treatment there will be a nitric oxide titration to 0. Iloprost will be aerosolized continuously at a dose of 5-30mcg/hour for as long as the attending physician deems it necessary to deliver vasodilator therapy.

Drug: Inhaled Iloprost
A 20 mcg dose of Iloprost will be given initially.
Other Names:
  • Ventavis
  • Experimental: Phase 1: Inhaled Iloprost 3 doses

    Each subject will have a stable dose of INO therapy as established by the attending physicians for at least one hour. Initial baseline data collection will then be made. A 20 mcg dose of Iloprost will be given initially. During this treatment there will be a nitric oxide titration to 0. Iloprost will be aerosolized three different times on hour apart. Thirty minutes after the last iloprost dose, INO will be added back at the previous (baseline) dose.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percent Change in Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) From Baseline [30 mins after initial dose, every 2 hours as long as subject was on drug up to approximately 24 hours]

      Readings were taken from the medical record and the data may not have been present at the exact time frames.

    2. Percent Change in Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) From Baseline [dose 1 (1 hour), dose 2 (2 hour), dose 3 (3 hour), combined therapy (4.5 - 5 hour), end INO (6 - 7 hour)]

    3. Change in Mean Heart Rate From Baseline [30 mins after initial dose, every 2 hours as long as subject was on drug up to approximately 24 hours]

    4. Change in Mean Heart Rate From Baseline [dose 1 (1 hour), dose 2 (2 hour), dose 3 (3 hour), combined therapy (4.5 - 5 hour), end INO (6 - 7 hour)]

    5. Number of Treatment Failures [as long as subject was on drug up to approximately 24 hours]

      Treatment failure is defined as Central venous pressure (CVP) ≥ 20 mm Hg and any one of the following: Cardiac Index (CI) >/= 1.8 L/min/m2 Administration of >/=0.1 ug/kg/min Epinephrine or Norepinephrine MAP </= 50 mmHg (or as appropriate for age in pediatrics). SvO2</= 55% (or < 45% for patients with R to L intracardiac shunting and, thus, cyanosis at baseline.}

    6. Change in Mean Pulmonary Artery Pressure (mPAP) From Baseline [30 mins after initial dose, every 2 hours as long as subject was on drug up to approximately 24 hours]

    7. Change in Mean Pulmonary Artery Pressure (mPAP) From Baseline [dose 1 (1 hour), dose 2 (2 hour), dose 3 (3 hour), combined therapy (4.5 - 5 hour), end INO (6 - 7 hour)]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in Cardiac Output (CO) From Baseline [30 mins after initial dose, every 2 hours as long as subject was on drug up to approximately 24 hours]

    2. Change in Cardiac Output (CO) From Baseline [dose 1 (1 hour), dose 2 (2 hour), dose 3 (3 hour), combined therapy (4.5 - 5 hour), end INO (6 - 7 hour)]

    3. Change in Mean Venous Oxygen Saturation (SvO2) From Baseline [30 mins after initial dose, every 2 hours as long as subject was on drug up to approximately 24 hours]

      SvO2 represents an average of all the venous oxygen saturations of the various organs and tissues.

    4. Change in Mean Venous Oxygen Saturation (SvO2) From Baseline [dose 1 (1 hour), dose 2 (2 hour), dose 3 (3 hour), combined therapy (4.5 - 5 hour), end INO (6 - 7 hour)]

    Phase 1 subjects
    Arm/Group Title Phase 1: Inhaled Iloprost 3 Doses
    Arm/Group Description Each subject will have a stable dose of INO therapy as established by the attending physicians for at least one hour. Initial baseline data collection will then be made. A 20 mcg dose of Iloprost will be given initially. During this treatment there will be a nitric oxide titration to 0. Iloprost will be aerosolized three different times on hour apart. Thirty minutes after the last iloprost dose, INO will be added back at the previous (baseline) dose and data collected 5 minutes later (combined therapy). Another 1 hour period of stable baseline dose INO therapy will be given during which the final data collection will occur (end INO). Inhaled Iloprost: A 20 mcg dose of Iloprost will be given initially.

    Arm/Group Description Each subject will have a stable dose of INO therapy as established by the attending physicians for at least one hour. Initial baseline data collection will then be made. A 20 mcg dose of Iloprost will be given initially. During this treatment there will be a nitric oxide titration to 0. Iloprost will be aerosolized continuously at a dose of 5-30mcg/hour for as long as the attending physician deems it necessary to deliver vasodilator therapy. Inhaled Iloprost: A 20 mcg dose of Iloprost will be given initially. Each subject will have a stable dose of INO therapy as established by the attending physicians for at least one hour.
