Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Brief summary

This study of frespaciguat in participants with Group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) will assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of inhaled frespaciguat. There is no formal hypothesis to be tested.

Detailed description

In Part 1, one panel (Panel A) of up to 8 participants will dose in up to 3 dosing periods, with a minimum washout of 7 days between dosing periods. In each dosing period, 6 participants will receive frespaciguat and 2 will receive placebo, with 2 different participants receiving placebo in each of the dosing periods. Review of available safety data will occur prior to escalating to the next dose level. Participants from Part 1 may continue into Part 2, which will assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single-dose inhaled frespaciguat. Three additional panels of participants (Panels B, C and D) will be enrolled into Part 2. Participants in Panel A will participate in 2 open-label dosing periods to assess PD measures associated with right heart catherization (RHC) \[Period 2\] and functional respiratory imaging (FRI) \[Period 3\]. Participants in Panels B, C, and D will participate in 3 dosing periods: Period 1 (open-label assessment of safety/tolerability and PK), Period 2 (FRI period) and Period 3 (RHC period).

Interventions

Single inhaled dose of frespaciguat 120, 165, 240, 300, 360, or 480 ug depending upon randomization

Masking description

In Part 1 (Panel A) of this study, a double-blinding technique will be used. Frespaciguat and placebo will be packaged identically so that blind is maintained. The participant, the investigator, and Sponsor personnel or delegate(s) who are involved in the study intervention administration or clinical evaluation of the participants are unaware of the intervention assignments. Part 2 of this study is conducted as open label; therefore, the Sponsor, investigator, and participant will know the intervention administered.

Intervention model description

Part 1 of the study will evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in this population using a sequential study design. Review of available safety data up to 24 hours post dose of at least the first 4 participants must occur prior to escalating to the next dose level. A break to review PK data from Periods 1 and 2 will occur after completion of Period 2. Review of safety will occur after completion of Period 3 in all participants from Panel A, prior to initiation of Part 2. An optional break to review rolling PK data from Panel A Period 3 will be dependent upon exposures observed in Periods 1 and 2.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least 1 Adverse Event (AE): All PartsUp to ~14 days after last dose of treatment period (Up to ~32 weeks total)An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which may not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease that was temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, regardless of whether or not it was considered related to the medicinal product. The number of participants who experienced at least 1 AE was reported by dose separately for Part 1 plus Part 2 Period 1, for the RHC Period, and for the FRI Period.
Number of Participants Who Discontinued From the Study Due to an AE: All PartsUp to ~14 days after last dose of treatment period (Up to ~32 weeks total)An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which may not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease that was temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, regardless of whether or not it was considered related to the medicinal product. The number of participants who discontinued from the study due to an AE was reported by dose separately for Part 1 plus Part 2 Period 1, for the RHC Period, and for the FRI Period.
Percentage Change From Baseline in Minimum Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR): Part 2 Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) PeriodBaseline: Pre-dose on Day 1 of RHC Period (up to 185 days) and up to 4.5 hours post-doseFor each participant in the RHC Period, the percentage change from baseline for the minimum post-dose PVR value over the duration of the RHC procedure was calculated. The average of pre-dose measurements was set as the baseline. Mean (SD) percent change from baseline in PVR minimum were calculated and reported for each dose group that underwent RHC in Part 2. Per protocol, this outcome measure was only assessed during the Part 2 RHC Period for each panel and was not assessed during Part 1.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued From the Study Due to an AE: All Parts

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant which may not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease that was temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, regardless of whether or not it was considered related to the medicinal product. The number of participants who discontinued from the study due to an AE was reported by dose separately for Part 1 plus Part 2 Period 1, for the RHC Period, and for the FRI Period.

Time frame: Up to ~14 days after last dose of treatment period (Up to ~32 weeks total)

Population: All participants who received ≥1 dose of investigational treatment were analyzed according to treatment received.

Percentage Change From Baseline in Minimum Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR): Part 2 Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) Period

For each participant in the RHC Period, the percentage change from baseline for the minimum post-dose PVR value over the duration of the RHC procedure was calculated. The average of pre-dose measurements was set as the baseline. Mean (SD) percent change from baseline in PVR minimum were calculated and reported for each dose group that underwent RHC in Part 2. Per protocol, this outcome measure was only assessed during the Part 2 RHC Period for each panel and was not assessed during Part 1.

Time frame: Baseline: Pre-dose on Day 1 of RHC Period (up to 185 days) and up to 4.5 hours post-dose

Population: All participants who received ≥1 dose of MK-5475, who complied with the protocol without major protocol deviations, and who underwent the RHC procedure and had available data were analyzed according to treatment received.

Change From Baseline in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) at 4.5 Hours Post-dose: Part 2 RHC Period

DBP was assessed at pre-dose in the RHC Period (baseline) and at 4.5 hours post-dose. Baseline DBP and change from baseline in DBP was reported for each panel/dose group that underwent RHC in Part 2, according to treatment planned. Negative values indicate decreases from baseline in DBP. Per protocol, this outcome measure was only assessed during the Part 2 RHC Period for each panel and was not assessed during Part 1.

Time frame: Baseline: Pre-dose on Day 1 of RHC Period (up to 185 days) and 4.5 hours post-dose

Population: All participants who received ≥1 dose of MK-5475, underwent the RHC procedure, and had available data were analyzed. One Panel B participant received 165 ug instead of 360 ug but was included in the 360 ug RHC group. Four Panel C participants were dose-reduced from 360 to 120 ug but were included in the 360 ug RHC group.

Percentage Change From Baseline in Pulmonary Blood Volume (PBV) Over Time: Part 2 Functional Respiratory Imaging (FRI) Period

Participants underwent a series of computed tomography (CT) scans with an intravenous (IV) iodinated contrast agent to facilitate assessment of PBV at baseline and at several times points after MK-5475 dosing. Percentage change from baseline (CFB) in PBV was calculated and reported for each dose group that underwent FRI in Part 2. As pre-specified, central tendency for PBV percentage CFB was provided as numerical values rounded to whole numbers. Per protocol, this outcome measure was only assessed during the Part 2 FRI Period for each panel and was not assessed during Part 1.

Time frame: Baseline: Pre-dose on Day 1 of FRI Period (up to 227 days) and 1, 3, 8, and 24 hours post-dose

Population: All participants who received MK-5475 at 120, 240 or 360 ug during the FRI period and underwent CT scans with IV contrast agent at all time points were included in the analysis.

Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of MK-5475: All Parts

Blood samples were taken at predose and at specified time points postdose to determine the Tmax of MK-5475. Tmax was defined as the time to maximum concentration of MK-5475. MK-5475 Tmax was reported by panel/dose group.

Time frame: Part 1 and Part 2 Period 1: Predose and 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, and 24 hours post-dose; RHC Period: predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 4.5 hours; FRI Period: predose and 1, 3, 8, and 24 hours postdose (Panel D also 0.25, 0.5, 2, 4 hours)

Population: All participants who received at least one dose of MK-5475, who complied with the protocol without major protocol deviations, and who had available data for Tmax were analyzed. Per protocol, data from participants receiving placebo were not included in the analysis.
