Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A Phase 2 open label, dose escalation study to find the minimally and maximum effective dose (dose beyond which no further effect on PVR is seen) of inhaled nitric oxide generated by the GeNOsyl® System compared to placebo.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Up to 54 subjects undergoing RHC are planned in this study, and shall include subjects meeting eligibility criteria classified as WHO Group 1 PAH or WHO Group 3 IPF-PH. Subjects will receive inhaled nitric oxide from the GeNOsyl® System to characterize the hemodynamic response and evaluate safety and tolerability.

Dose cohorts of approximately 5, 15, and 20 ppm nitric oxide in air will be studied. Different dose levels will be achieved by varying the flow rate of the drug substance (80 ppm NO2 in balance air) delivered to the subject via nasal cannula. Each subject will receive two different doses of inhaled nitric oxide separated by a placebo (medical grade air or supplemental oxygen) washout. Eligible subjects will be assigned to a dosing cohort in an escalating manner to receive study drug (80 ppm nitric oxide in air.)
