This trial tests whether a special combination of antibiotics, fecal transplant (gut bacteria from healthy donors), and a fiber supplement can help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It aims to see if improving gut health can improve PAH symptoms and overall well-being.
This trial tests an inhaled medication (TPIP) that opens blood vessels in the lungs to help you breathe easier and be more active. It is for people with PAH who are already on stable treatment and have moderate symptoms.
This trial tests whether a new form of tacrolimus (a medication that helps calm the immune system) can improve breathing and exercise ability in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) who are still limited despite current treatments. The study aims to see if this drug can help patients walk farther and feel less short of breath.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria into people who have had part of their colon removed can improve recovery. It may help prevent infections or other complications after surgery.
