TEPH: Telaglenastat Efficacy in Pulmonary Hypertension (NCT07223528)

A Phase 2a Single Arm Open Label Safety and Efficacy Study of Telaglenastat Plus Standard of Care in Adults With Functional Class Ii-iii Precapillary Pulmonary Hypertension Across Wsph Groups 1-4

๐ŸŸก Not Yet Recruiting Phase1 / Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Chan, Stephen, MD, PhD

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The research study is being conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a drug called Telaglenastat in adults diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension (PH). PH is a progressive condition that affects the arteries in the lungs, specifically the pulmonary arteries, which carry blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. Telaglenastat is not currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of PH. However, the study investigators believe that Telaglenastat may help lower blood pressure in the lungs and improve both heart and lung function. It is important to note that the drug will not be available to participants once the study concludes.
