Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:

Previous cardiac catheterization consistent with PAH, specifically PAPm greater than or equal to 25 mmHg (at rest), PCWP (or left ventricular end diastolic pressure) less than or equal to 15 mmHg, and PVR >3 mmHg/L/min. Within the past 12 months patients must have had a chest radiograph consistent with the diagnosis of PAH. Able to understand and willing to sign the Informed Consent Form.

Primary Outcome(s)

Main Objective: To determine the effects of chronically administered, inhaled Treprostinil Sodium (TRE) on exercise capacity with an un-encouraged 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).


Primary end point(s): Measure of efficacy will be improvement in exercise capacity as defined by the maximum distance a patient can walk in a peak unencouraged six minute walk test (6MWT) at 12 weeks when compared to baseline. A peak 6MWT is defined as a walk no less than ten minutes and no more than 60 minutes post study drug inhalation.
Additional analyses of the primary measure will be done on the 6MWT performed immediately following the first dose of study drug at Visit 2, and on the trough 6MWT results. A trough 6MWT is defined as a walk prior to or no less than 4 hours post study drug inhalation.

Secondary Objective: (1) To assess the safety and tolerability of chronically administered TRE,
(2) To assess the effects of chronically administered TRE on the signs and symptoms of PAH,
(3) To assess the effects of chronically administered TRE on NYHA Functional Class, and
(4) To assess the effect of TRE on troponin and Pro-BNP levels.
