About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multi-Center, Open Label Study To Evaluate The Long-Term Safety Of Sitaxentan Sodium In Japanese Subjects With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

The safety and efficacy at 100 mg once daily for oral dose of sitaxentan sodium were demonstrated in the STRIDE clinical trial program. Sitaxentan sodium was approved in the EU, Canada and Australia. In this study, the long-term safety and efficacy after administrations of sitaxentan sodium at a dose of 100 mg alone or in combination with another medication will be investigated in Japanese PAH patients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Number of participants with any adverse events, severe adverse events, serious adverse events

    Measured: Up to 22 days (last participant discontinuation)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Clinical Worsening

    Clinical worsening is defined as 1) Hospitalization for worsening pulmonary arterial hypertension, 2) On-study death, 3) Heart-lung or lung transplantation, 4) Atrial septostomy, 5) Addition of the chronic medications for the treatment of worsening pulmonary arterial hypertension, and 6) Initiation of oxygen.

    Measured: Up to 22 days (last participant discontinuation)

  2. Change From Baseline in 6-Minute Walk Distance

    Change from baseline in 6-minute walk distance is calculated as the value at each time point (every 12 weeks until Week 48 and every 24 weeks after Week 48) minus value at baseline.

    Measured: Up to 22 days (last participant discontinuation)

  3. Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in WHO Functional Class

    The change from baseline in WHO functional class was classified into "Improved", "No change" and "Worsened". The change from baseline in WHO functional class is summarised with percentage of participants at each time point (every 12 weeks until Week 48 and every 24 weeks after Week 48).

    Measured: Up to 22 days (last participant discontinuation)

  4. Change From Baseline in Blood Concentration of N-amino Terminal Fragment of the Prohormone Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-pro BNP)

    Change from baseline in Blood Concentration of NT-pro BNP is calculated as the value at each time point (every 12 weeks until Week 48 and every 24 weeks after Week 48) minus value at baseline.

    Measured: Up to 22 days (last participant discontinuation)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sitaxentan in people with Hypertension, Pulmonary, run by Pfizer at 2 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Dec 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (time frame: Up to 22 days (last participant discontinuation)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Dec 2011.
