A Prospective, Multicenter, Open Label, Single Arm, Phase 2 Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Selexipag in Children With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating selexipag (Uptravi) for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 63 participants across 34 sites in 16 countries.
Signals
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study to confirm the selexipag starting dose(s), selected based on pharmacokinetic (PK) extrapolation from adults, that leads to similar exposure as adults doses in children from greater than or equal to (\>=) 2 to less than (˂) 18 years of age with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), by investigating the PK of selexipag and its active metabolite ACT-333679 in this population.
Study Details
Timeline
Arms & Interventions
The first dose of selexipag (Uptravi) will be administered in the evening of Day 1 and will be based on the body weight. Thereafter selexipag will be administered twice daily (morning and evening). Selexipag will be up-titrated during the first 12 weeks, with weekly increments equal to the starting dose until the participants reach their individual maximum tolerated dose (iMTD) or until a maximum dose corresponding to their baseline weight category is achieved (which will be 8-fold of the corresponding starting dose). Up-titration is followed by a stable maintenance treatment period from Week 12 to Week 16, at the maximum tolerated dose. Thereafter, participants will be treated with selexipag as long as the treatment is beneficial to the participants, as per investigator's decision.
