New antibody drug aims to ease lung blood pressure
NCT ID NCT07318597
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called REGN13335 in 99 adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition where high blood pressure in the lungs makes the heart work harder. Participants will receive either the drug or a placebo, on top of their usual PAH medications. The goal is to see if REGN13335 safely lowers lung blood pressure and improves heart function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- REGN13335 (an antibody that blocks a protein called PDGF-B)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension, helping to lower blood pressure in the lungs and improve heart function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with only 99 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug is still experimental, and side effects or lack of benefit are possible.
