ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Subjects Who Achieved Hemodynamic Parameters Appropriate for Orthotopic Liver Transplantation Candidacy at Week 24.24 Weeks
The primary efficacy endpoint was the number of subjects who achieved a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) less than 35 mmHg and a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) less than 3 Wood units (WU) at Week 24 in patients with severe portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH).
SecondaryChange in Hemodynamic Parameters (Via Right Heart Catheterization [RHC]) at Rest From Baseline to Week 2424 weeks
The change in hemodynamic parameters (including systolic pulmonary arterial pressure \[PAPs\], diastolic pulmonary arterial pressure \[PAPd\], mean pulmonary arterial pressure \[mPAP\], and transpulmonary gradient \[TPG\]) was evaluated at rest from Baseline to Week 24. The median change in hemodynamic parameters from Baseline to Week 24 via right-heart catheterization (RHC) is presented.
SecondaryChange in Heart Rate at Rest From Baseline to Week 2424 weeksThe change in heart rate was evaluated at rest from Baseline to Week 24.
SecondaryChange in Cardiac Output at Rest From Baseline to Week 2424 weeksThe change in cardiac output was evaluated at rest from Baseline to Week 24. The median change in cardiac output from Baseline to Week 24 is presented.
SecondaryChange in Arterial and Venous Oxygen Saturation at Rest From Baseline to Week 2424 weeksThe change in arterial and venous oxygen saturation was evaluated at rest from Baseline to Week 24.
SecondaryChange in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) at Rest From Baseline to Week 2424 weeksThe change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was evaluated at rest from Baseline to Week 24.
SecondaryChange in 6-minute Walk Distance (6MWD) From Baseline to Weeks 12 and 24.Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24The 6-Minute Walk Test was conducted at Screening, Baseline prior to starting study drug and at least 24 hours after the Screening test, and during the Treatment Phase at Weeks 12 and 24.
SecondaryChange in Echocardiogram Parameters (Right Atrium and Right Ventricle Area) From Baseline to Weeks 12 and 24Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24
Standard transthoracic echocardiogram with continuous wave Doppler and color flow imaging was completed at Screening. All patients who were enrolled in this study underwent an echocardiogram within 30 days of enrollment as well as repeat echocardiograms on Weeks 12 and 24.
SecondaryChange in Echocardiogram Parameters (Right Ventricle Diameter) From Baseline to Weeks 12 and 24Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24
Standard transthoracic echocardiogram with continuous wave Doppler and color flow imaging was completed at Screening. All patients who were enrolled in this study underwent an echocardiogram within 30 days of enrollment as well as repeat echocardiograms on Weeks 12 and 24.
SecondaryChange in Echocardiogram Parameters (Right Ventricular Systolic Pressure) From Baseline to Weeks 12 and 24Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24
Standard transthoracic echocardiogram with continuous wave Doppler and color flow imaging was completed at Screening. All patients who were enrolled in this study underwent an echocardiogram within 30 days of enrollment as well as repeat echocardiograms on Weeks 12 and 24.
