Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Mean change from baseline in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) in participants with a combined pre- and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension (CpcPH).
Measured by right heart catheterization (RHC) between those who received TX000045 and those with placebo.
Assess safety of TX000045 by the incidence of adverse events, adverse events of special interest and SAEs.
Number of participants with abnormal laboratory values and/or adverse events that are related to treatment.
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events.
Secondary outcomes
Mean change from baseline in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP).
Measured by RHC between those who received TX000045 and those with placebo.
Mean change from baseline in PVR for all participants.
Measured by RHC between those who received TX000045 and those with placebo.
Mean change from baseline in cardiac output (CO) for all participants and in participants with CpcPH.
This is measured by RHC between those who received TX000045 and those with placebo.
Mean change from baseline in exercise capacity in all participants and in participants with CpcPH.
This is measured by mean change from baseline in 6-minute walk test (6MWT) distance between those who received TX000045 and those with placebo.
