Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Iloprost

The study enrolled patients who were already using iloprost (10 µg/mL) standard dose (5 µg) delivered by I-neb® Adaptive Aerosol Delivery (AAD) System with Power Disc-6 (PD-6) without any safety or tolerability concerns, thereby facilitating a direct comparison with the Power Disc-15 (PD-15). The single arm design allowed each patient to serve as his/her own control.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Iloprost PD-6

Intervention Type DRUG

Period I: Patients received iloprost administered using PD-6 for the 37 days prior to the first dosing of iloprost using PD-15. Iloprost inhalation solution was delivered using the I-neb® AAD System. Patients were required to use their own I-neb®.

Iloprost PD-15

Intervention Type DRUG

Period II: Iloprost inhalation solution was delivered using the investigational product PD-15 with I-neb® AAD System for 37 days. Patients were required to use their own I-neb®.
