Official Title: A Study Evaluating the Long-term Efficacy and Safety of Ralinepag in Subjects with PAH via an Open-label Extension (ADVANCE-Extension)

A Study On:

Lung - Pulmonary

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension PAH

Study Description

Study ROR-PH-303, ADVANCE EXTENSION, is an open-label extension (OLE) study for participants with WHO Group 1 PAH who have participated in another Phase 2 or Phase 3 study of ralinepag.

Study ROR-PH-303 is a multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) study for subjects with WHO Group 1 PAH who have participated in another Phase 2 or Phase 3 study of ralinepag and who qualify for entry based upon participation in the prior study. Subjects who discontinue participation in a prior study due to safety issues related to study medication or who fail to complete study procedures will not be eligible to enter Study ROR-PH-303. Subjects who meet all OLE entry criteria will be enrolled and will receive ralinepag in addition to their pre-existing PAH disease-specific background therapy.

For subjects who are enrolled from an ongoing double-blind Phase 2 or Phase 3 ralinepag study, a 16-week blinded Dose Titration Period will be completed following enrollment into the OLE. Subjects previously on ralinepag will continue on the same dose during the Dose Titration Period as received in the original study and will also initiate placebo treatment in the OLE.

Subjects who are enrolled from a non-blinded study or another OLE will not participate in the blinded Dose Titration Period in Study ROR-PH-303 but will be enrolled directly into the Treatment Period and continue on the dose of ralinepag received in the original study.

All subjects will receive ralinepag in the OLE study until premature discontinuation of ralinepag due to an AE/serious adverse event (SAE) or other reason, marketing approval of ralinepag is granted in the region in which the study is conducted, or the study is discontinued by the Sponsor.

Eligibility

Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent form indicating that the subject has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study prior to initiation of any study-related procedures.
Subjects who are willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
Completed the protocol-defined Study Drug Termination Visit or End of Study Visit procedures in the preceding ralinepag study.
Both male and female subjects agree to use a medically acceptable method of contraception throughout the entire study period from informed consent through the 30 day Follow-up Visit, if the possibility of conception exists. Eligible male and female subjects must also agree not to participate in a conception process (i.e., actively attempt to become pregnant or to impregnate, sperm donation, in vitro fertilization) during the study and for 30 days after the last dose of ralinepag.

Subjects who prematurely discontinued investigational medicinal product (IMP) due to a drug-related AE/SAE or tolerability issue in the preceding ralinepag study in which they were enrolled, or subjects who did not complete all protocol defined study procedures at a Study Drug Termination Visit or End of Study Visit in the preceding ralinepag study.
Subjects who withdrew consent during participation in another ralinepag study.
Female subjects who wish to become pregnant or who have a positive pregnancy test on Day 1 (OLE Entry Visit), or are lactating or breastfeeding.
Subjects who have undergone lung or heart/lung transplant or the initiation of long-term parenteral or inhaled therapy with a prostacyclin during the time since participation in their original ralinepag study.
Subjects who had an emergency unblinding procedure in a prior Phase 2 or 3 study.

Please read the information below and ask questions about anything that you do not understand. A
researcher listed above will be available to answer your questions.

You are being asked to participate in a clinical research potential participant database to identify
potential clinical research studies you may be eligible for. Participation in this database is voluntary.
You may choose to skip any question. You may refuse to participate or discontinue your involvement
at any time without penalty or loss of benefits. You are free to withdraw from this database at any
time. If you decide to withdraw from this database you should notify the research team
immediately.

You are eligible to participate in this study if you may be interested in participating in a research trial at UCI Health

We would like to interview you to learn more about your eligibility for current clinical research studies at UCI. The interview will last about 5-30 minutes, depending on the extent of your medical history.

Possible risks/discomforts associated with the database are hearing about potential clinical research studies that may not be of interest to you, invasion of your privacy, or a potential breach of confidentiality.

There are no direct benefits from participation in the database. However, this database may help inform you on clinical research studies that you may be eligible for. Participation in UCI clinical research studies help us gain important data and knowledge that may lead to improved treatment options for people with similar conditions to you in the future.

There are no alternative procedures available. The only alternative is not to participate in this study.

There is no compensation for your participation in this database.

There is no cost to you for participation in this database.

All information collected will be stored confidentially in a world-class securely-hosted application, “RealTime CTMS,” with robust data protections and encryption. This application has HIPAA compliant architecture and application rules to ensure data privacy and regulatory compliance.

Researchers will use your information to assess your eligibility for current and future clinical research studies at UCI. You may opt out at any time.

The research team, authorized UCI personnel, and regulatory entities, may have access to your study records to protect your safety and welfare.

While the research team will make every effort to keep your personal information confidential, it is possible that an unauthorized person might see it. We cannot guarantee total privacy.

Future Research Use
Researchers will use your information to conduct this study. Once the study is done using your information, we may share them with other researchers so they can use them for other studies in the future. We will not share your name or any other private identifiable information that would let the researchers know who you are. We will not ask you for additional permission to share this de-identified information

Data Retention - In accordance with UC Office of the President policy, information will be retained for 10 years after the end of the calendar year in which the research is completed.

If, during the course of this study, significant new information becomes available that may relate to your willingness to continue to participate, this information will be provided to you by the research team listed at the top of the form.

If you have any comments, concerns, or questions regarding the conduct of this research please contact the researchers listed at the top of this form
