Sotatercept for Japanese Children With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new medicine called sotatercept in Japanese children who have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)—a condition where blood vessels in the lungs become narrow and stiff, making it harder for the heart to pump blood through them. The medicine may help improve how well their hearts and lungs work together.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) confirmed by a heart catheterization test (a tube inserted into the heart to measure blood pressure in the lung vessels)
- Your PAH must be one of these types: idiopathic (no known cause), inherited from family, caused by drugs/toxins, linked to connective tissue disease, associated with repaired congenital heart disease, or PAH with a heart shunt
- You must be in World Health Organization Functional Class I or symptomatic Class II–IV (meaning you have at least some symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue)
- You must have been on stable PAH treatment for at least 90 days before joining the study
- You must be of Japanese nationality
- You cannot have had recent heart surgery (atrial septostomy) within the last 6 months, and certain heart defects must not be present

This Phase 2 trial tests sotatercept, a medicine that targets the blood-vessel changes in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), in children. It may help improve how well the heart and lungs work by changing the underlying disease process.
This study tests a new drug called sotatercept to help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)—a condition where blood vessels in the lungs become too narrow, making the heart work harder. The drug may help improve how well your lungs and heart work together.
This study tests a medicine called sotatercept to see if it can improve how the right side of your heart pumps in people with PAH. It may help you feel better and slow down the disease.
This study is for people who have already taken part in a clinical trial of sotatercept for pulmonary arterial hypertension and done well enough to continue. It tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of staying on sotatercept, an investigational treatment that helps lower blood pressure in the lungs.
This trial uses a special imaging technique (xenon MRI) to see how well the lungs are functioning in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who are being treated with the drug sotatercept. It aims to understand if the drug improves lung function.
This trial is for adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who have been taking sotatercept for at least 6 months and have stable, low-risk disease. The study will check if it's safe to stop one of their other PAH treatments (a prostacyclin or selexipag).
