Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at the long-term safety of an inhaled drug called GB002 for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a serious lung condition. It includes 74 patients who already completed a previous GB002 study. Researchers will track side effects and measure how far patients can walk in six minutes to see if the drug helps over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
GB002 (seralutinib) inhaled via a dry powder inhaler
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new inhaled treatment option to help control pulmonary arterial hypertension and improve patients' ability to walk.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase extension study with no placebo group, so results may not prove effectiveness. Long-term safety is still unknown, and side effects may emerge.

Inclusion Criteria: Type of Subject and Disease Characteristics 1. Subjects must have completed a prior GB002 PAH study and, in the opinion of the Investigator and Sponsor, have been compliant with study procedures and have completed treatment with IP through parent study end-of-treatment (EOT) visit. 2. Treatment with standard of care PAH disease-specific background therapies (stable dose). Informed Consent 3. Review and signature of an IRB-approved informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: Medical Conditions 1. Persistent and clinically significant systemic hypertension or hypotension. 2. Interval history of newly developed left-sided heart disease. 3. Potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia with an ongoing risk. 4. Uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections which require systemic therapy. 5. Other severe acute or chronic medical or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or GB002 administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study. 6. History of portopulmonary hypertension or portal hypertension due to cirrhosis classified as Child-Pugh Class A or higher. 7. Subjects with a history of severe milk protein allergy. In addition, subjects with known intolerance or hypersensitivity to lactose who, in the opinion of the investigator, may experience severe symptoms following the ingestion of lactose. 8. Current use of inhaled tobacco and/or inhaled marijuana. Ingestible or topical marijuana is allowed, per local restrictions and regulations. 9. Current alcohol use disorder as defined by DSM-5, and/or history of current utilization of drugs of abuse (amphetamines, methamphetamines, cocaine, phencyclidine \[PCP\]). 10. Have any other condition or reason that, in the opinion of the Investigator and/or the Sponsor's Medical Monitor (or designee), would prohibit the subject from participating in the study. Diagnostic Assessments 11. Chronic renal insufficiency 12. Hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration \<8.5 g/dL. 13. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 1x 10\^9/L. 14. Platelet count \<50 x 10\^9/L. Prior Therapy 15. Use of inhaled prostanoids. 16. Chronic use of oral anticoagulants (ie, vitamin K antagonist such as warfarin or novel oral anticoagulant \[NOAC\]/direct oral anticoagulant \[DOAC\]). 17. Chronic use of any prohibited medication. NOTE: Additional inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply, per protocol.
