The Effect of Sildenafil on Diffusion Capacity Measurements in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension and Parenchymal Lung Disease
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Oral sildenafil 20 mg for Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Disease and Pulmonary Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of sildenafil on diffusion capacity, a commonly performed pulmonary function test, which is used to assess the lungs' gas exchange capability. This study does not assess safety or efficacy of the drug. The study does not have clinical end points. The variables studied are diffusion capacity and 6 minute walk after a single dose of sildenafil. This study has been completed.
