This study looks at the long-term safety of a drug called sotatercept for people with a specific type of pulmonary hypertension caused by heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. About 130 people who completed a prior study will receive sotatercept injections and be monito…

This trial tests a procedure called pulmonary arterial denervation (PADN) for people with heart failure who also have high blood pressure in the lungs. A special catheter delivers radiofrequency energy to nerves in the pulmonary artery, which may help lower pressure and improve h…

This study tests an experimental drug called TX000045 in 180 adults with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) caused by a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly. Participants will receive either the drug or a placebo f…

This study tests a drug called riociguat in children aged 6 to 18 who have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition where high blood pressure in the lungs makes it hard to breathe and move. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how the body processes it at differen…

This study was designed to test the safety and tolerability of a new drug called JK07 in people with heart failure and a specific type of high blood pressure in the lungs. It planned to enroll about 20 to 30 adults aged 18 to 85. However, the study was withdrawn before any partic…

This study tests an inhaled drug called frespaciguat (MK-5475) in 129 adults who have high blood pressure in their lungs caused by COPD. The main goal is to see if the drug helps people walk farther in 6 minutes after 24 weeks compared to a placebo. Participants take one daily in…

This phase 3 trial tests an inhaled drug called seralutinib for people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) caused by interstitial lung disease (lung scarring). About 480 adults will receive either seralutinib or a placebo for 24 weeks, followed by a lon…

This study looks at whether the drug bevacizumab can help people with a rare condition called hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) who have severe liver problems leading to high heart output and possible heart failure. Researchers will check heart function before and after…

This study looks at the long-term safety of the drug ralinepag in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a serious lung condition that makes it hard to breathe. About 1,000 adults who were in earlier ralinepag studies can join. The goal is to see if the drug remains s…

This study tests whether waiting to clamp the umbilical cord until after the baby's lungs have filled with air can reduce dangerous lung blood pressure (pulmonary hypertension) in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). About 140 infants with left-sided CDH will be r…

Researchers are testing whether artificial intelligence can combine ultrasound images with routine health data to track changes in a person's physiology over time. The study enrolls adults with heart, lung, kidney, or blood vessel conditions, as well as healthy volunteers. The go…

This study tests whether a new MRI technique, called 5D flow, can measure blood flow and pressure in the heart as accurately as the standard invasive procedure, right-left heart catheterization. People with congenital heart conditions who already need a catheterization will also …

This study looks at whether a new computer program called IMPULSE can better detect pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) using standard heart ultrasound. About 200 adults with unexplained breathlessness or risk factors will be checked. The goal is to see if t…

This study tests whether 10 weeks of supervised exercise training can improve heart function, oxygen use, and quality of life in people with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Forty participants will do three sessions per week at a cardiac rehab clinic. The goal is to see …

This study tests whether six weeks of daily breathing exercises against resistance can improve heart and lung function in people with pulmonary hypertension. Four participants will do 30 resisted breaths per day, five days a week. Researchers will measure changes in heart pressur…

This study looks at whether detailed heart scans (echocardiograms and MRIs) can improve how doctors predict short-term risks in people with a type of high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary arterial hypertension). Researchers will follow 50 adults for 6 months to see if addin…

This study looks at nearly 1,200 people with or at risk for pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). Researchers use many advanced tests to find new ways to classify the disease and identify biomarkers. The goal is to better understand the disease and improve fu…

This study looks back at 10 years of medical records from a scoliosis referral center to see how frequently adults with scoliosis who had surgery also develop restrictive breathing problems or signs of pulmonary hypertension on echocardiography. By analyzing data from 174 patient…

This study looks at whether a 2-minute step test can accurately measure exercise ability in people with pulmonary hypertension, compared to the standard 6-minute walk test. Researchers will enroll 35 adults with the condition and measure oxygen use, heart rate, and breathlessness…

This study looks at whether adding special blood tests (biomarkers) to the usual heart-lung exam can help doctors pick the right therapy for people with pulmonary hypertension. About 100 adults undergoing a routine heart catheterization will have extra blood samples taken from th…

This study was designed to find early warning signs of high blood pressure in the lungs after mitral valve surgery. Researchers planned to use blood tests and heart imaging to detect problems that could be deadly if missed. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participant…

This study is collecting blood samples from 550 adults with different types of pulmonary hypertension to measure two proteins, Activin-A and FSTL3. Researchers want to see if these proteins can predict who will need a lung transplant or die within two years. The goal is to find a…

This study looks at whether wearing an activity tracker (like a Fitbit) can better predict how people with pulmonary hypertension will do over 12 weeks compared to the standard 6-minute walk test. About 230 participants will wear the tracker and report how they feel. The goal is …
