Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy Study of Ambrisentan in Chinese Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) (NCT NCT01808313)

NCT ID: NCT01808313

Last Updated: 2017-06-06

Results Overview

The 6MWT measures the distance that a participant can walk in a period of 6 minutes. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 12 value minus the Baseline value. Baseline 6MWT comprised of an average of the last two consecutive measurements prior to dosing that varied by not greater than 10 percent (%). If only one measurement was available, that measurement was used as the Baseline value. The last observation carried forward method was used to impute missing values.

Participant Flow

A total of 134 participants were enrolled and received at least one dose of study medication. 133 participants comprised the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population (all participants that received at least one dose of study treatment and had an efficacy assessment performed both at Baseline and after administration of the study treatment).

The WHO FC was determined by the investigator as follows: Class I- Participants with pulmonary hypertension (PH) but without resulting limitation of physical activity, II- Participants with PH resulting in slight limitation of physical activity, III- Participants with PH resulting in marked limitation of physical activity, IV- Participants with PH with inability to carry out any physical activity without symptoms. Changes from Baseline in functional class were summarized at Weeks 12 and 24. The number of participants improving by 2 classes, improving by 1 class, not changing, worsening by 1 class or worsening by 2 classes from Baseline at Weeks 12 and 24 were evaluated. The Baseline value was the last non-missing assessment value before treatment. Only participants with non-missing Baseline values and at least one non-missing post-Baseline value of the response variable were included. The last observation carried forward method was used to impute missing values.

The BDI was calculated by using a 10-point scale (0 = None, 10 = Maximum). Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 12 and 24 values minus the Baseline values. The BDI indicates the degree of exertion, breathlessness, fatigue, or difficulty breathing after completion of the 6MWT. The lower values, 0 as the lowest, indicates no exertion, fatigue, or breathlessness felt, and 10 would be the maximum amount of exertion felt as assessed by each participant. The last observation carried forward method was used to impute missing values.

N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) is a surrogate maker of heart failure and was measured by a central laboratory. Mean change from Baseline at Weeks 12 and 24 were calculated as the Weeks 12 and 24 values minus the Baseline values.Observed data was analyzed (no imputation technique was performed for missing data). Log transformed mean change from Baseline at Weeks 12 and 24 data are summarized.

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or important medical events that jeopardize the participants or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition.

Complete physical examinations of each participant by the investigator were performed at the Screening Visit, Week 12 and Week 24 Visit/Early withdrawal visits. The physical examination included an examination of the following: general appearance, skin, head, ears, eyes, nose, throat, neck, thyroid, lymph nodes, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, abdomen, musculoskeletal system, neurological system and height. Physical examination summary results were not collected therefore there is no data to present for this outcome measure.

Change from Baseline in ECG heart rate is summarized for each post-Baseline assessment at Weeks 12 and 24.

Vital sign monitoring included heart rate measurements at (pre-6MWT and post-6MWT at the Baseline visit, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. Change from Baseline in heart rate was summarized for each post-Baseline assessment up to Week 24. Change from Baseline was calculated as the individual post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. The Baseline value is defined as the last non-missing value observed before treatment. At Baseline, Weeks 12 and 28, heart rate was recorded at the end of the 6MWT and at 1 minute (M), 2 M and 3 M, after completion of the 6MWT with the participants seated, and the time that heart rate recovered to the level of pre-6MWT.

Participants received one tablet of 5 milligrams (mg) ambrisentan (AMB) once daily (QD) for the first 12 Weeks. After 12 Weeks, the AMB dose was titrated to either one tablet of 5 mg QD or one tablet of 10 mg QD, as determined by the investigator for another 12 Weeks.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to Week 24

Population: Safety Population. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles). Different participants may have been analyzed at different time points, so the overall number of participants analyzed reflects everyone in the safety population.

Blood samples were collected for the measurement of ALT, ALP, AST and BILT at the Baseline visit and up to Week 24. Shift from Baseline (BL) was calculated as the individual maximum of post-BL value minus the BL value. The BL value is defined as the last pre-treatment value observed. Threshold values for the liver function test results, which were considered as potential values of clinical concern, were 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) for ALT, AST and ALP and 2 times the ULN for BILT. Maximum liver function abnormal values of post-BL are summarized.

Blood samples were collected for the measurement of basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, total neutrophils, platelet count and WBC count at the Baseline visit and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. Change from Baseline in the basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, total neutrophils, platelet count and WBC count values were summarized for each post-Baseline assessment until Week 24. Change from Baseline was calculated as the individual post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. The Baseline value is defined as the last pre-treatment value observed.

Blood samples were collected for the measurement of mean corpuscle volume at the Baseline visit and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. Change from Baseline in the mean corpuscle volume values were summarized for each post-Baseline assessment until Week 24. Change from Baseline was calculated as the individual post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. The Baseline value is defined as the last pre-treatment value observed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to Week 24

Population: Safety Population. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles). Different participants may have been analyzed at different time points, so the overall number of participants analyzed reflects everyone in the safety population.

Blood samples were collected for the measurement of calcium, cholesterol, chloride, glucose, potassium, magnesium, sodium, inorganic phosphorus, triglycerides and urea/Bun at the Baseline visit and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. Change from Baseline in the calcium, cholesterol, chloride, glucose, potassium, magnesium, sodium, inorganic phosphorus, triglycerides and urea/BUN values were summarized for each post-Baseline assessment until Week 24. Change from Baseline was calculated as the individual post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. The Baseline value is defined as the last pre-treatment value observed.
