Pulmonary Hypertension Screening in Patients With Interstitial Lung Disease for Earlier Detection

Overview

Study GMS-PH-001 is a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized study to prospectively evaluate screening strategies of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD).

In this study, subjects will undergo a broad range of clinical assessments that are potentially associated with PH. Study data will be used to identify and weigh specific clinical parameters based on their prognostic significance for right heart catheterization (RHC)-confirmed PH. There is no study drug under investigation in this study. The study consists of 2 study visits: a Screening Visit and Study Visit 1. Clinical assessments include pulmonary function tests (PFTs); high resolution computed tomography (HRCT); physical examination; 6-Minute Walk Test; blood draw for clinical laboratory parameters, plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentration and plasma N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) concentration; echocardiography; University of California San Diego Shortness of Breath Questionnaire (UCSD SOBQ); King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease Questionnaire (K-BILD); 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36); Pulmonary Hypertension Functional Classification Self Report (PH-FC-SR); Investigator's Suspicion of PH Questionnaire; adverse event (AE) monitoring; and RHC. As the primary objective of this study is to collect a broad range of clinical parameters in patients with ILD, it is expected that numerous exploratory and post-hoc analyses will be performed to identify and weigh specific parameters based on their prognostic significance for PH in this patient population with the goal of developing a screening algorithm for PH in patients with ILD.
