Efficacy Study of Ambrisentan in Chinese Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This open label, single-arm, non-controlled, multicentre study will determine the effect of ambrisentan on exercise capacity (6MWT) in Chinese subjects with PAH. The study consists of a screening period of 4 weeks, a 12-week primary evaluation period (PEP) and a 12-week dose-adjustment period (DAP). Ambrisentan 5 mg will be administered to eligible subjects for 12 weeks (PEP).

Detailed Description
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) consists of a group of progressive and incurable diseases of the pulmonary vasculature. These are characterised by profound vasoconstriction and abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the walls of the pulmonary arteries, which leads to a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and sustained elevations in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP). A variety of drug classes have been used to treat PAH but no single compound has yet been shown to be effective in treating all patients with the disease. Three widely used treatment options are calcium channel blockers (CCBs), diuretics and anticoagulants but all have varying responses.There is a lack of clinical data on ambrisentan among the Chinese population,Ambrisentan is conditionally approved for the treatment of PAH in China.A clinical trial with a minimum of 100 patients in the ambrisentan arm was requested by SFDA.Several PAH medications have been approved in China, so a placebo-controlled study is not ethically appropriate while an active control non-inferiority design is unfeasible due to sample size requirements and inconsistency in indications.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change From Baseline in 6-minutes Walk Test (6MWT) at Week 12 [Baseline and Week 12]
The 6MWT measures the distance that a participant can walk in a period of 6 minutes. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 12 value minus the Baseline value. Baseline 6MWT comprised of an average of the last two consecutive measurements prior to dosing that varied by not greater than 10 percent (%). If only one measurement was available, that measurement was used as the Baseline value. The last observation carried forward method was used to impute missing values.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change From Baseline in 6MWT at Week 24 [Baseline and Week 24]
The 6MWT measures the distance that a participant can walk in a period of 6 minutes. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 24 value minus the Baseline value. Baseline 6MWT comprised of an average of the last two consecutive measurements prior to dosing that varied by not greater than 10%. If only one measurement was available, that measurement was used as the Baseline value. The last observation carried forward method was used to impute missing values.
- Number of Participants With a Change From Baseline in Their World Health Organization (WHO) Functional Classification (FC) at Weeks 12 and 24 [Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24]
The WHO FC was determined by the investigator as follows: Class I- Participants with pulmonary hypertension (PH) but without resulting limitation of physical activity, II- Participants with PH resulting in slight limitation of physical activity, III- Participants with PH resulting in marked limitation of physical activity, IV- Participants with PH with inability to carry out any physical activity without symptoms. Changes from Baseline in functional class were summarized at Weeks 12 and 24. The number of participants improving by 2 classes, improving by 1 class, not changing, worsening by 1 class or worsening by 2 classes from Baseline at Weeks 12 and 24 were evaluated. The Baseline value was the last non-missing assessment value before treatment. Only participants with non-missing Baseline values and at least one non-missing post-Baseline value of the response variable were included. The last observation carried forward method was used to impute missing values.
- Change From Baseline in the Borg Dyspnea Index (BDI) at Weeks 12 and 24 [Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24]
The BDI was calculated by using a 10-point scale (0 = None, 10 = Maximum). Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 12 and 24 values minus the Baseline values. The BDI indicates the degree of exertion, breathlessness, fatigue, or difficulty breathing after completion of the 6MWT. The lower values, 0 as the lowest, indicates no exertion, fatigue, or breathlessness felt, and 10 would be the maximum amount of exertion felt as assessed by each participant. The last observation carried forward method was used to impute missing values.
- Change From Baseline in the N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide at Weeks 12 and 24 [Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24]
N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) is a surrogate maker of heart failure and was measured by a central laboratory. Mean change from Baseline at Weeks 12 and 24 were calculated as the Weeks 12 and 24 values minus the Baseline values.Observed data was analyzed (no imputation technique was performed for missing data). Log transformed mean change from Baseline at Weeks 12 and 24 data are summarized.

Time to clinical worsening was measured as the number of participants who experienced these events during 12 and 24 Weeks.
- Number of Participants With Any Adverse Events, Any Serious Adverse Events and Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation [From the start of study treatment up to Week 24]
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or important medical events that jeopardize the participants or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition.
- Number of Participants With Physical Examination Findings [Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24]
Complete physical examinations of each participant by the investigator were performed at the Screening Visit, Week 12 and Week 24 Visit/Early withdrawal visits. The physical examination included an examination of the following: general appearance, skin, head, ears, eyes, nose, throat, neck, thyroid, lymph nodes, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, abdomen, musculoskeletal system, neurological system and height.

Title | Change From Baseline in the Borg Dyspnea Index (BDI) at Weeks 12 and 24 |
---|---|
Description | The BDI was calculated by using a 10-point scale (0 = None, 10 = Maximum). Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 12 and 24 values minus the Baseline values. The BDI indicates the degree of exertion, breathlessness, fatigue, or difficulty breathing after completion of the 6MWT. The lower values, 0 as the lowest, indicates no exertion, fatigue, or breathlessness felt, and 10 would be the maximum amount of exertion felt as assessed by each participant. The last observation carried forward method was used to impute missing values. |

Title | Number of Participants With Any Adverse Events, Any Serious Adverse Events and Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation |
---|---|
Description | An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or important medical events that jeopardize the participants or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. |

Title | Number of Participants With Urinalysis Data at Baseline and Week 24 |
---|---|
Description | Urine samples were collected for urinalysis at Baseline and Week 24. The Number of participants with urinalysis to negative and positives (trace, +, ++ and +++) data at Baseline and Week 24 are summarized for urine bilirubin (UBIL), urine glucose (UGLU), urine ketones (UKET), urine nitrite (UNIT), urine protein (UM) and urine urobilinogen (UUBIL) were performed with dipstick method. Other urinalysis parameters included urine pH (UpH), urine specific gravity (USG). The Baseline value is defined as the last pre-treatment value observed. |

Outcome Measure Data
Analysis Population Description |
---|
Safety Population. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles). Different participants may have been analyzed at different time points, so the overall number of participants analyzed reflects everyone in the safety population. |
Arm/Group Title | Ambrisentan |
---|---|
Arm/Group Description | Participants received one tablet of 5 milligrams (mg) ambrisentan (AMB) once daily (QD) for the first 12 Weeks. After 12 Weeks, the AMB dose was titrated to either one tablet of 5 mg QD or one tablet of 10 mg QD, as determined by the investigator for another 12 Weeks. |
