Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The amount and percentage change in right ventricular systolic pressure (PASP) under exercise stress between the baseline and week 24 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Measurement at each observation point, and the amount and percentage change in right ventricular systolic pressure (PASP) under exercise stress at the observation week 6 Measurement and amount and percentage change from the baseline to each observation point for the following parameters: 2. Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF; %) as contractility 3. Left ventricular diastolic performance [E/A, Dec-time, and tissue Doppler echocardiography (e')] 4. Left atrial pressure (E/e') 5. Right ventricular systolic pressure as right heart function 6. Exercise tolerance measured during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (minute ventilation volume, carbon dioxide excretion, oxygen intake at peak and anaerobic metabolic thresholds) 7. Blood pressure measured at home (early morning blood pressure measured immediately before starting the administration and 2-week mean of blood pressure measured before sleep) 8. CAVI value 9. Body weight, abdominal circumference, and body composition 10. Amount of physical activity 11. Vital signs and general blood/urine tests 12. Special blood/urine tests 13. Incidence of pulmonary hypertension (50 mmHg or higher at rest, or 60 mmHg or higher with load) before and after exercise load (within case comparison between time points during exercise load should be made using data obtained with the same load level) 14. Incidence of hypoglycemia 15. Low blood pressure incidence 16. Incidence of abnormal electrolyte levels (low Na and K) 17. Incidence of other adverse events | — |
