Viagra drug tested to help scleroderma patients breathe easier

NCT ID NCT04797286

Summary

This study is testing whether sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra) can help people with scleroderma who have mildly elevated blood pressure in their lungs. Researchers want to see if the drug improves how far patients can walk in 6 minutes and helps their heart function better. About 30 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either sildenafil or a placebo pill for comparison.
