Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety And Efficacy Of Sildenafil In Children With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (NCT NCT01642407)

NCT ID: NCT01642407

Last Updated: 2021-02-01

Results Overview

WHO functional classification for PAH range from Class I (no limitation in physical activity, no dyspnea with normal activity), Class II (slight limitation of physical activity), Class III (marked limitation of physical activity) and Class IV (cannot perform a physical activity without any symptoms, dyspnea at rest). The change from baseline in WHO functional class was classified into "Improved", "No change" and "Worsened". Improvement = reduction in functional class, worsened = increase in functional class and no change = no change in functional class. Change from baseline in number of participants in each functional class were reported.

Measure
Sildenafil
Participants received 10 milligram (mg) or 20 mg of Sildenafil (based on their body weight) orally, thrice daily on Day 1 (Baseline), Weeks 4, 8, and 16 in Part 1 of the study. Participants who completed Part 1 and required continuing treatment with Sildenafil, received 10 mg or 20 mg of Sildenafil (based on their body weight) orally, thrice daily on Weeks 28, 40, 52 and thereafter every 12 weeks until Sildenafil obtained marketing approval (up to a maximum of 119.6 weeks). Participants with less than or equal to (\<=) 20 kilogram (kg) of body weight received 10 mg dose, thrice daily as powder for oral suspension and participants with greater than (\>) 20 kg of body weight received 20 mg dose, thrice daily as film-coated tablets.

PVRI equals pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) times body surface area (BSA) (PVRI = PVR\*BSA). PVR is the resistance to blood flow through the pulmonary circulation and it was measured in Wood units. Wood unit =80 dyne\*seconds per centimetre\^5 (dyne\*sec/cm\^5).

Population: EEfficacy analysis set included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug.Here 'Overall number of participants analyzed' specifies number of participants who completed Part 1 of the study and continued treatment with Sildenafil in Part 2 of the study.

NT pro-BNP is a cardiac marker, having the prognostic value for participants with heart failure or left ventricular dysfunction. Higher level of the marker was indicative of heart damage.

Timeframe: Baseline upto 28 days after last dose of study drug (maximum duration of treatment: 119.6 weeks)

Population: Safety analysis set included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 28 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both SAEs and non-serious AEs.

BP measurement is recorded as supine and sitting systolic and diastolic systemic blood pressure: 1) Systolic blood pressure when heart is contracting and it is the maximum arterial pressure during contraction of left ventricle. 2) Diastolic BP when heart is relaxing and it is the minimum arterial pressure during relaxation and dilation of ventricles. Only those categories in which at least 1 participant had data were reported.

RAP is the blood pressure in the right atrium of the heart. It reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart and the ability of the heart to pump the blood into the arterial system. RAP was measured using a pressure transducer positioned at the mid-axillary line with the participant in the supine position.
