An Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of the Addition of UT-15C SR to Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Patients Currently Receiving Tyvaso®

TDE-PH-203

The purpose of this multi-center, open-label, safety and tolerability study was to assess the addition of oral treprostinil (UT-15C sustained release \[SR\] tablets) to subjects currently receiving Tyvaso (treprostinil) inhalation solution. During the 24-week evaluation period, the study evaluated the changes in the following assessments: hemodynamics, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), Borg dyspnea score, N-Terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), World Health Organization (WHO) Functional Class, and safety assessments. Eligible subjects had a diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), currently were receiving Tyvaso, and may have been receiving other approved PAH specific oral therapies (endothelin receptor antagonists \[ERAs\] and/or phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor \[PDE5-I\], if at a stable dose for ≥30 days). At Baseline, subjects received the first dose of 0.125 mg UT-15C SR.

Significant inclusion criteria included: 1. Subjects were between 18 to 75 years of age 2. Diagnosis of PAH: Idiopathic; Heritable; Associated with: Collagen vascular disease, Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, appetite suppressant or toxin use, or repaired congenital systemic-to-pulmonary shunts (repaired ≥5 years) 3. Had been receiving Tyvaso for at least 4 weeks (≥9 breaths, 4 times a day \[QID\]) and required additional therapy 4. In addition to Tyvaso, subjects may have been receiving other approved PAH specific oral therapies (ERAs and/or PDE-5 inhibitors, if at a stable dose) Significant exclusion criteria included: 1. The subject was pregnant or lactating 2. The subject had previously received UT-15C SR 3. The subject had added, discontinued or changed the dosing regimen (i.e., prescription) of conventional PAH therapies (e.g., oral vasodilators, oxygen, digoxin) within 21 days of Baseline 4. The subject was receiving a FDA approved PAH therapy (e.g., ERA and/or PDE-5 inhibitor) for less than 30 days prior to Baseline, or the dose had been modified within 30 days of Baseline 5. The subject had any disease associated with PAH other than collagen vascular disease, HIV infection, repaired congenital systemic-to-pulmonary shunts (for at least 5 years), or appetite suppressant/toxin use (e.g., portal hypertension, chronic thromboembolic disease, pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, etc.), or had an atrial septostomy 6. The subject had ischemic heart disease prior to Screening, or left ventricular dysfunction as evidenced by a mean PCWP (or a left ventricular end diastolic pressure) greater than 15 mmHg or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 40% as assessed by either multigated angiogram (MUGA), angiography or echocardiography. Patients with abnormal left ventricular function attributable entirely to impaired left ventricular filling due to the effects of right ventricular overload were not excluded. 7. The subject had uncontrolled systemic hypertension as evidenced by systolic blood pressure greater than 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure greater than 100 mmHg at Baseline.
