About this study
Official title: Multi-centre, Randomized Study of Iloprost Inhaled in Preventing and Treating Reactive Pulmonary Hypertension (RPH) and Pulmonary Hypertensive Crisis (PHC) After Repair of Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD)
This study was designed to investigate treatment of postoperative pulmonary hypertension by iloprost inhalation in children with congenital heart defects. It was a controlled single-blind randomized multi-center prospective study in order to explore the efficacy of this method in the treatment and prevention of pediatric pulmonary hypertension after corrective open-heart surgery for congenital heart defects.
Read the detailed description
Primary objectives:
- To evaluate the effect of iloprost inhaled on postoperative PH after biventricular repair for CHD.
- To verify the benefits of iloprost inhaled in improving the hemodynamics after biventricular repair for CHD.
Secondary objectives:
- To investigate the preventive effect of iloprost inhaled on the life-threatening PHC occurring immediately after complex congenital heart surgery or occurring just after weaning off cardiopulmonary bypass.
- To explore the potential of iloprost inhaled to reduce the early mortality after PHC and to decrease the use of ECMO/VAD.
- Conditions
- Pulmonary Hypertension
- Being tested
- iloprost nebuliser solution, distilled water
- Keywords
- pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary hypertensive crisis
- Medical subject headings

- PHC at any time; or
- death
Measured: within 48 hours after surgery
Secondary outcomes (1)
Change from base line of pulmonary hemodynamic measurements
- Pp/Ps
- NYHA class function
- SvO2
- PAO2
Measured: within 48 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing iloprost nebuliser solution and distilled water in people with Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 3 sites in China.
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 2 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
The total incidence of RPH, PHC or death (time frame: within 48 hours after surgery). 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 22 Nov 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
