Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this research study is to find out more about the drug treprostinil via inhaler and the mechanisms of why patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension related to Interstitial Lung disease (PAH-ILD) have limitations during exercise. The investigator is studying treprostinil's effect on patients with PAH-ILD during exercise and its effect on their quality of life after using it for 3 months.

Study Groups

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

Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers will undergo RHC while exercising and an optional muscle biopsy.

Group Type OTHER

Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) while exercising

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

A procedure to measure how well or poorly your heart is pumping and to measure the pressures in the heart and lungs. A catheter will be inserted into a vein and artery in order to take the measurements and this will be conducted while exercising on a supine cycle ergometer. Various measurements will be taken during periods of rest and exercise.

Optional Muscle Biopsy

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

A sample of muscle tissue will be collected and analyzed for the ability of the cells to utilize oxygen.

PAH-ILD Patients

Patients diagnosed with PAH-ILD will undergo RHC while exercising, receive inhaled treprostinil, and undergo an optional muscle biopsy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Treprostinil

Intervention Type DRUG

30mcg (5 breaths) of inhaled treprostinil will be administered during the RHC procedure and patients will be initiated on outpatient inhaled treprostinil therapy for 3-months with gradual up titration to target dose as per standard clinical practice.
