Trial Outcomes & Findings for Crossover Study From Macitentan or Bosentan Over to Ambrisentan (NCT NCT02885012)

NCT ID: NCT02885012

Last Updated: 2019-04-08

Results Overview

Echocardiography is used to estimate the stroke volume, or the amount of blood ejected from the heart with each beat. An average over three beats is used for the estimate and is reported as ml/beat.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 24 Weeks

Population: Second patient in second arm did not complete questionnaire in week 24

Questionnaire-. The questionnaire is designed to determine how pulmonary hypertension affects the patient's life by asking 10 questions which address breathlessness, fatigue, control, and confidence. emPHasis-10 consists of 10 items which address breathlessness, fatigue, control and confidence. Each item is scored on a semantic differential six-point scale (0-5), with contrasting adjectives at each end. A total emPHasis-10 score is derived using simple aggregation of the 10 items. emPHasis-10 scores range from 0 to 50, higher scores indicate worse quality of life.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 Weeks

Population: Neither subject in group 2 completed week 24 assessment for this outcome so we are reporting changes at week 12 compared to baseline.

NT-proBNP Biomarker: BNP is released from cardiac cells in response to increased pressure. The higher the value the worse the disease status.
