To Assess the Pharmacokinetics (Mean AM Dose) in Subjects During Twice Daily (BID) Dosing (up to 14 Days Prior to Transitioning to Three Times Daily [TID] Dosing Regimen at PK Visit 1) and up to 35 Days After Transitioning to TID Dosing (at PK Visit 2).
The PK sampling occurred over a 12-hour period in subjects during BID dosing (PK Visit 1) and during TID dosing (PK Visit 2). Prior to each PK sampling day, subjects must have been receiving a stable dose for at least 5 days.
Time frame: Up to 14 days prior to transitioning to TID dosing regimen (PK Visit 1) and up to 35 days after transitioning to TID dosing regiment (PK Visit 2)
To Assess the Pharmacokinetics (Cmax, Cmin) in Subjects During BID Dosing (up to 14 Days Prior to Transitioning to TID Dosing Regimen at PK Visit 1) and up to 35 Days After Transitioning to TID Dosing Regiment (PK Visit 2)
The PK sampling occurred over a 12-hour period in subjects during BID dosing (PK Visit 1) and during TID dosing (PK Visit 2). Prior to each PK sampling day, subjects must have been receiving a stable dose for at least 5 days.
Time frame: Up to 14 days prior to transitioning to TID dosing regimen (PK Visit 1) and up to 35 days after transitioning to TID dosing regiment (PK Visit 2)
To Assess the Pharmacokinetics (AUClast) in Subjects During Twice Daily (BID) Dosing (up to 14 Days Prior to Transitioning to Three Times Daily [TID] Dosing Regimen at PK Visit 1) and up to 35 Days After Transitioning to TID Dosing (at PK Visit 2).
The PK sampling occurred over a 12-hour period in subjects during BID dosing (PK Visit 1) and during TID dosing (PK Visit 2). Prior to each PK sampling day, subjects must have been receiving a stable dose for at least 5 days.
Time frame: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 hours post-dose at up to 14 days prior to transitioning to TID dosing regimen (PK Visit 1) and at up to 35 days after transitioning to TID dosing regiment (PK Visit 2)
To Assess 6-minute Walk Distance for Both Groups (BID and TID) 3 to 6 Hours Post-morning Dose.
This platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) was conducted at PK Visits 1 and 2, and was performed between hours 3 to 6 post-morning dose to correlate with the predicted peak plasma concentration of oral treprostinil.
Time frame: The 6MWT was conducted during BID dosing PK collection (up to 14 days prior to transitioning to TID dosing regimen [PK Visit 1]) and during TID dosing PK collection (up to 35 days after transitioning to TID dosing regimen [PK Visit 2]).
To Compare the Adverse Event (AE) Profile of BID Versus TID Dosing.
AE diaries including 8 therapy-specific terms were collected during both BID and TID dosing to allow for comparison of events from both regimens. The therapy-specific events included: diarrhea, extremity pain, flushing, headache, hypotension, jaw pain, nausea, and vomiting.
Time frame: The AEs were recorded for up to 50 days.
