Study Roles of Heavy Metals and Essential Metal Dyshomeostasis in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Patients
Investigators plan to recruit 50 PAH patients from UofL PAH Clinic, with various degrees of severity (25 intermediate risk patients and 20 high risk patients) and 10 age and gender matched controls. PAH patients are evaluated at least every 6 months by the PAH Clinic and blood/urine samples will be obtained at each office visit. Blood, plasma and urine samples will be used to measure 31 metal levels including heavy metals (cadmium, arsenic, cobalt, lead etc.) and essential metals (calcium, copper, iron, zinc, potassium etc.) by the with ICP-MS via the service of ITEMFC. Interactions among the 31 metals in PAH patients, metal ...

Study to Evaluate Sotatercept (MK-7962) in Children With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) (MK-7962-008)
The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of sotatercept over 24 weeks of treatment in children ≥1 to <18 years of age with PAH World Health Organization (WHO) Group 1 on standard of care (SoC). There is no formal hypothesis.

The Effect Of Nebulizied Nitroglycerin As An Adjuvant Therapy For Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension Of Newborns
This aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of nebulized nitroglycerin on echocardiographic (biventricular function, pulmonary artery pressure, PDA and PFO shunting and tissue doppler imaging) and clinical parameters (Oxygen saturation index, heart rate, blood pressure, mean airway pressure, ventilation setting) in patients with PPHN.

The Effect of Oxygen Therapy on 6MWD in PAH and CTEPH Patients With Hypoxemia
Treatment of O2 naïve patients with PAH will be included in this investigator-initiated trial (IIT) to assess efficacy and safety of oxygen substitution. Nocturnal oxygen substitution improved the 6MWD compared to placebo in one clinical trial in PAH patients. Due to the positive results in the treatment of patients with PAH, the initiation of this proof-of-concept study is justified.

The Effects of Pulmonary Hypertension Web-Based Health Care Program on Symptom Management, Social Support, Activity Tolerance, and Quality of Life in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic disease characterized by an elevation in pulmonary artery pressures and pulmonary vascular resistance. The condition most often is rarely detected, and patients frequently suffer symptoms for several years before being appropriately diagnosed. Patients with PH suffer from several symptoms, such as exertional dyspnea, fatigue, weakness, chest pain, fainting…et al. Pulmonary hypertension is an incurable and progressive disease with complex symptoms and treatments. Patients must learn to deal with their unpredictable future and manage the complex treatments associated with severe...

The MObile Health InterVEntion in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (MOVE PAH) Study
Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have reduced health related quality of life (HRQOL) and impaired exercise capacity. Despite fourteen approved therapies, most patients die within ten years. Increasing physical activity is highly efficacious in PAH, resulting in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) and HRQOL improvement that often exceeds the effect of medications. Prior activity studies required inpatient rehabilitation, which is impractical, hard to sustain, and poorly scalable to a rare disease. The Investigators propose a randomized trial of smart texts versus usual care for 6 months. The Investigators will...

THERAPY-HYBRID-BPA Trial
Riociguat could improve the exercise capacity and residual symptoms in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) even after normalization of pulmonary arterial pressure by balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA). This randomized controlled trial study aimed to clarify whether the improvement of peak cardiac index (CI) during exercise maintains or not between the riociguat continued group and the riociguat discontinued group.
