Descriptive Information

Brief Title  ICMJEStudy of ACT-064992 on Morbidity and Mortality in Patients With Symptomatic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Official Title  ICMJEA Multicenter, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group, Event-driven, Phase III Study to Assess the Effects of ACT-064992 on Morbidity and Mortality in Patients With Symptomatic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Brief Summary

The AC-055-302/SERAPHIN study will be an event-driven Phase III study, comparing two different doses of ACT-064992 (3 and 10 mg) vs placebo in patients with symptomatic PAH. The main study objective is to demonstrate that ACT-064992 prolongs time to the first morbidity or mortality event, and to evaluate the benefit/risk profile of ACT-064992 in the treatment of patients with symptomatic PAH.

    • Familial (FPAH); or
    • Related to:

      • Collagen vascular disease;
      • Simple, congenital systemic-to-pulmonary shunts at least 1 year post surgical repair;
      • HIV infection; or
      • Drugs and toxins.
  4. PAH diagnosis confirmed by hemodynamic evaluation performed prior to randomization and showing all of the following:

    • Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) > 25 mmHg at rest;
    • Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) or left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) < 15 mmHg; and

  5. 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) >= 50 m.
  6. Men or women > 12 years of age (women of childbearing potential must have a negative pre-treatment serum pregnancy test and must use a reliable method of contraception).

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. PAH associated with portal hypertension, thyroid disorders, glycogen storage disease, Gaucher''s disease, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, hemoglobinopathies, myeloproliferative disorders or splenectomy.
  2. PAH associated with non corrected simple congenital systemic-to-pulmonary shunts, and combined and complex systemic-to-pulmonary shunts, corrected or non corrected.

  4. Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn.
  5. Pulmonary Hypertension belonging to groups 2 to 5 of the Venice classification.
  6. Moderate to severe obstructive lung disease: forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) < 70% and FEV1 < 65% of predicted value after bronchodilator administration.
  7. Moderate to severe restrictive lung disease: total lung capacity (TLC) < 60% of predicted value.
  8. Moderate to severe hepatic impairment, i.e., Child-Pugh Class B or C.
  9. Estimated creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min
  10. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.
