|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00004754 ↗ | Phase IV Study of Chronic Infusional Epoprostenol for Severe Primary Pulmonary Hypertension | Completed | Baylor College of Medicine | Phase 4 | 1993-08-01 | OBJECTIVES: I. Provide epoprostenol (Flolan, prostaglandin I2) by chronic infusion to patients with severe primary pulmonary hypertension for whom no alternative therapy is available. II. Obtain additional safety information on continuous infusion epoprostenol. III. Obtain additional information on economic resource health consumption. |
| NCT00004754 ↗ | Phase IV Study of Chronic Infusional Epoprostenol for Severe Primary Pulmonary Hypertension | Completed | National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) | Phase 4 | 1993-08-01 | OBJECTIVES: I. Provide epoprostenol (Flolan, prostaglandin I2) by chronic infusion to patients with severe primary pulmonary hypertension for whom no alternative therapy is available. II. Obtain additional safety information on continuous infusion epoprostenol. III. Obtain additional information on economic resource health consumption. |
| NCT00058929 ↗ | A Transition Study From Flolan® to Remodulin® in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension | Completed | United Therapeutics | Phase 4 | 2002-10-01 | This trial is a study of Remodulin in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension who have been transitioned from Flolan therapy. The study consists of Screening, Baseline and Treatment Phases. Patients meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria during the Screening Phase will enter the Baseline Phase, during which baseline exercise capacity, vital signs, and clinical signs and symptoms of the disease will be assessed. After confirmation of all inclusion/exclusion criteria, patients will be assigned to study drug (Remodulin or placebo) and will enter the Treatment Phase. The Treatment Phase begins with a Dose Transition Period, during which patients will begin receiving subcutaneous study drug at a low dose determined by the patient's current dose of Flolan. The study drug dose will be increased gradually while the Flolan dose is decreased gradually over a period of up to 14 days. The dose changes will continue until Flolan therapy has been discontinued and the patient is stable on study drug. Patients who are transitioned off Flolan, who are stable on study drug will be discharged from the clinic, and will continue to receive study drug on an outpatient basis. The patient will return to the clinic at Weeks 4 and 8 for assessments. Patients will remain on study drug for 8 weeks from the first dose of study drug. At Week 8, final assessments will be conducted and the patient will be dismissed from the study. Patients who successfully complete Week 8 assessments may be offered Remodulin therapy or other therapy, at the investigator's discretion. |
| NCT00373360 ↗ | Safety, Efficacy and Treatment Satisfaction in Patients With PAH Rapidly Switched From Epoprostenol to Remodulin | Completed | United Therapeutics | Phase 4 | 2006-09-01 | The purpose of this 8-week study is to compare the effects of switching from therapy with epoprostenol or Flolan to IV Remodulin. This study will also assess the effect that changing to Remodulin will have on patient satisfaction with their treatment and impact on quality of life. |
| NCT00439946 ↗ | Safety, Efficacy, and Treatment Satisfaction Switching From Flolan to Remodulin Using the Crono Five Ambulatory Pump in Patients With PAH | Terminated | United Therapeutics | Phase 4 | 2007-02-01 | The purpose of this 8-week study is to compare the effects of switching from intravenous Flolan to intravenous Remodulin therapy. Remodulin (treprostinil sodium) is an approved therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Unlike Flolan, Remodulin does not need to be mixed daily and is stable at room temperature, so there is no need for ice packs. In addition, Remodulin is changed every 48hrs, instead of every 12-24 (with ice packs) or every 8 hours (without ice packs) with Flolan. Flolan is given using a type of portable medication pump called the CADD Legacy infusion pump. In this study, Remodulin will be given using a smaller and lighter medication pump called the Crono Five infusion pump. This study will also assess the effect that changing to Remodulin will have on treatment satisfaction and patient quality of life. |
