Résumé

Selexipag is an oral prostacyclin receptor (IP receptor) agonist with a non-prostanoid structure. This study examined its efficacy and safety in Japanese patients with non-operated or persistent/recurrent chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).Methods and Results:This Phase II study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group comparison. The primary endpoint was a change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) from baseline to week 17. The main analysis involved a per-protocol set group of 28 subjects. The change in PVR (mean±SD) after 17 weeks of treatment in the selexipag group was -104±191 dyn·s/cm Selexipag treatment improved pulmonary hemodynamics in Japanese patients with CTEPH, but PVR did not show a significant difference between the selexipag and placebo groups. (Trial registration: JAPIC Clinical Trials Information [JapicCTI-111667]).

BACKGROUND
Selexipag is an oral prostacyclin receptor (IP receptor) agonist with a non-prostanoid structure. This study examined its efficacy and safety in Japanese patients with non-operated or persistent/recurrent chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).Methods and Results:This Phase II study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group comparison. The primary endpoint was a change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) from baseline to week 17. The main analysis involved a per-protocol set group of 28 subjects. The change in PVR (mean±SD) after 17 weeks of treatment in the selexipag group was -104±191 dyn·s/cm
CONCLUSIONS
Selexipag treatment improved pulmonary hemodynamics in Japanese patients with CTEPH, but PVR did not show a significant difference between the selexipag and placebo groups. (Trial registration: JAPIC Clinical Trials Information [JapicCTI-111667]).
