NCT ID NCT07612657

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 3 study tests VI-0106, an extended-release form of tacrolimus, in 300 people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who still have trouble with daily activities despite taking standard PAH medications. Participants will receive either the drug or a placebo for 24 weeks to see if it improves their walking distance and delays disease worsening. The trial is not yet recruiting.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

VI-0106 (extended-release tacrolimus)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option to improve exercise capacity and delay disease worsening for people with PAH who still have symptoms on current therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 3 trial, but PAH is a complex disease and previous tacrolimus studies have shown mixed results. The drug may cause side effects like kidney problems or infections, and it requires lifelong use alongside other PAH medications.
