Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Combination therapyMonotherapy

Combination therapy: Macitentan 10mg, Dapagliflozin 10mg or 5mg po tablet q.d. in 24 weeks

Monotherapy: Macitentan placebo, Dapagliflozin 10mg or 5mg po tablet q.d. in 24 weeks

Study summary

This clinical trial will evaluate whether combination therapy with Dapagliflozin + Macitentan improves outcomes compared to Dapagliflozin + placebo in patients with combined pre- and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension (CpcPH).

The study will measure changes in pulmonary vascular resistance, NT-proBNP, 6-minute walk distance, and quality of life (KCCQ scores) over 24 weeks.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, take study medication for 24 weeks, and undergo regular clinical, laboratory, and safety assessments.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Hierarchical outcome component(Change in PVR, Change in NT-proBNP, Change in 6MWD, Change in KCCQ-CSS) — Baseline, 24 week
    The hierarchical composite variable includes the rate of change in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR), NT-proBNP, change in 6-minute walk distance, and change in KCCQ-CSS score. All possible pairwise comparisons between combination therapy group and monotherapy group subjects (e.g., 2 subjects in combination group and 3 in monotherapy group yield 6 pairs) are classified as Win, Loss, or Tie based on the following definitions. If the subject in the pair meeting the criteria belongs to the combination group, it is evaluated as a Win; if in the monotherapy group, a Loss.
