NCT ID NCT07563322

First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study tests whether nicotinamide riboside, a form of vitamin B3, can improve how cells produce energy in people with combined pulmonary hypertension (CPH). CPH is a serious lung and heart condition with no approved treatments. Ten participants will receive both the supplement and a placebo at different times to see how it affects biological markers in the body.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

nicotinamide riboside (a form of vitamin B3)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new way to support cell energy in people with combined pulmonary hypertension, but it is not a treatment test.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early study with only 10 people. It looks at biological markers, not symptoms or survival, so even positive results may not lead to a real treatment.
