Investigational Trial to Evaluate Safety and Tolerability of Treprostinil in Children Diagnosed With PAH
brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety and tolerability of preservative-free parenteral treprostinil in paediatric patients with PAH (PH Group 1) who are below 18 years of age. The main question it aims to answer is: • if preservative-free parenteral treprostinil is safe and tolerable in the treatment of paediatric PAH in patients who are either prostacyclin-naïve or have been previously treated with commercially available parenteral treprostinil formulations. Participants will receive either subcutaneous (SC) or intravenous (IV) preservative-free treprostinil and will be observed for 5 months (20 weeks ± 1 week).
detailed description
In this study, a preservative-free treprostinil solution provided in a single-use vial will be used. Efficacy of treprostinil for the treatment of PAH in pulmonary hypertension (PH) Group 1 in children is reported throughout literature. However, since the removal of the preservative might impact the safe use of the parenteral solution for infusion, the safety profile of the newly developed preservative-free treprostinil solution will be assessed within this trial.
