New PAH drug shows promise in Long-Term safety study
NCT ID NCT07073820
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new medicine called PF-07868489 for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition where high blood pressure in the lung arteries makes the heart work harder. The study is open-label, meaning everyone knows they are getting the drug, and it follows up on patients from an earlier trial to see how safe and effective the drug is over a longer period. About 36 adults who completed a prior PF-07868489 study will receive a shot every 4 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PF-07868489 (a drug given as a shot under the skin every 4 weeks)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a new long-term treatment option to help control PAH and reduce strain on the heart.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase extension study with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug's long-term safety and effectiveness are still being tested.
