Brief Summary

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

This multi-center, open-label study will assess the tolerability and safety of transitioning subjects with stable Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) from continuous intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) Remodulin infusion to oral treprostinil (UT-15C sustained release (SR) tablets).

This study will consist of an in-hospital transition phase, dose optimization/evaluation phase, and follow up phase.

Study Groups

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

UT-15C SR

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

UT-15C SR

Intervention Type DRUG

Subjects will transition in the hospital from Remodulin to UT-15C SR within 5 days of the start of the transition. The dose of Remodulin will be decreased as the dose of UT-15C SR is increased over the 5 days. Once subjects have been transitioned from Remodulin, the dose of UT-15C SR will continue to be modified / titrated to the appropriate optimal dose for that subject throughout the rest of the study.
