Long-Term Outcomes of Selexipag in Schistosomiasis-Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Sponsor: Caio Júlio César dos Santos Fernandes

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Schistosomiasis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension is a serious condition that can lead to shortness of breath, heart failure, frequent hospitalizations, and early death. Although treatments for pulmonary arterial hypertension have improved over time, patients with this specific cause of the disease are often not included in long-term studies. Selexipag is an oral medication used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension and is part of routine clinical care in Brazil. Its long-term effects in patients with schistosomiasis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension are not well understood. The PROPULSE-Sch study aims to evaluate long-term clinical outcomes in patients with schistosomiasis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension who received selexipag, compared with similar patients who did not receive this medication before it became available at the study center. This is an observational study using data from routine medical care. All treatments are prescribed by the treating physicians, and participation in the study does not change patient care. The results may help improve understanding of long-term outcomes and support treatment decisions in this population.
