Description

Summary

The objective of this study is to assess the safety, performance and initial effectiveness of the TIVUS™ System when used for pulmonary artery denervation through subjective and objective change in clinical parameters and haemodynamic evaluation. This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, open-label clinical trail. The study will be conducted in up to 4 centers and will recruit up to 15 patients diagnosed with PAH, functional class III who have stable PAH on a stable drug regimen of two pulmonary arterial hypertension specific medications.

Official Title

Clinical Evaluation of the Therapeutic Intra-Vascular Ultrasound (TIVUS™) System for Pulmonary Artery Denervation (PDN) in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension - US

Eligibility

You can join if…

Open to people ages 18 years and up

  • Patient with known pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), diagnosed as idiopathic PAH, connective tissue disease PAH, Anorexogen induced or Heritable PAH
  • PAH diagnosis confirmed by hemodynamic evaluation performed prior to screening and showing all of the following: Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) ≥25 mmHg at rest; Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) or left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) ≤15 mmHg; Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) at rest >3 Wood units; Not meeting the criteria for a positive vasodilator response (fall in mPAP ≥ 10 mmHg to ≤ 40 mmHg).
  • Patient with a current diagnosis of WHO functional class III
  • Patient taking two pulmonary arterial hypertension specific medications other than parenteral prostanoids
  • Patient is adhering to a stable drug regimen (i.e., with no changes of dose or medication for a minimum of 3 months prior to enrollment)
  • Patient with eGFR levels of ≥ 30 ml/min/1.73m2or serum creatinine levels of ˂ 150µmol/l

You CAN'T join if...

  • Patients who are treated with parenteral prostanoids
  • Pregnant women or women planning a pregnancy within 12 months of study enrolment
  • Patient with significant co-morbid condition(s) which, at the discretion of the PI, are deemed to prohibit study entry
  • Patient with life expectancy of less than a year
  • Concurrent enrollment in another device or drug trial except for observational studies (unless specifically approved by the sponsor)
  • Patient with pulmonary artery anatomy that precludes treatment
  • Patient with moderate to severe pulmonary artery stenosis

  • Patient who has experienced a myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, or a cerebrovascular accident in the previous 6 months
  • Patient who has implantable cardiac pacemakers, ICDs, neurostimulators, or drug infusion devices
  • Patients who are unable to undergo an MRI scan
