About
The goal of this clinical trial is to see if mirivadelgat will work in patients with Pulmonary Hypertension Associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD). It will also learn about the safety of mirivadelgat. The main question it aims to answer is if mirivadelgat will improve pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Pulmonary vascular resistance is a way to measure blood flow in the lungs.
Researchers will compare mirivadelgat to a placebo (a look-alike capsule that contains no drug) to see if mirivadelgat works to improve the symptoms of PH-ILD. The symptoms of PH-ILD that are being looked at are exercise tolerance, heart function, and general well-being.
Participants will:
Take mirivadelgat or a placebo once a day for 12 weeks
Visit the clinic once every 4 weeks for checkups and tests
Receive phone calls every one or two weeks to check on how things are going
Full description
The study is a phase 2, multinational, double-blind, 3-arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mirivadelgat, an aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 activator, in adult subjects (aged 18 to 85 years) with PH-ILD. Subjects must have a confirmed diagnosis of ILD as defined by the American Thoracic Society (ATS), European Respiratory Society (ERS), Japanese Respiratory Society (JRS), and/or Latin American Thoracic Society (ALAT) guidelines (Raghu, 2018). The diagnosis is based on a HRCT either performed at screening or within 180 days prior to screening or a historical surgical biopsy (or other appropriate tissue sampling (e.g., cryobiopsy)) and an RHC performed at screening. Subjects who also have connective tissue disorders can comprise up to 20% of the study population.
To be eligible for the study, a subject must be willing to undergo a Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) during screening and at the Week 12 Visit (at the end of study treatment). Subjects on chronic treatment for underlying pulmonary diseases must be on a stable/optimized dose for ≥30 days prior to screening and have been receiving treatment for ≥90 days prior to screening.
The study will enroll approximately 126 subjects, assuming a drop-out rate of 20%, to obtain 99 evaluable subjects (33 evaluable subjects in each cohort).
Study visits will include a Screening Visit; Visit 2 (Study Day 1); Weeks 2, 3, 4, 6, 8,10, and 12 Visits (+/ 3 days); and a safety Follow-up Visit (+/ 3 days) after the Week 12 Visit. Visits on Weeks 2, 3, 6, and 10 will be conducted by phone calls.

Inclusion criteria
A clinical diagnosis of PH-ILD.
Subject voluntarily gives informed consent.
Subjects aged between 18 and 85 years at the time of signing informed consent.
Subjects must agree to practice protocol-defined birth control during the study period.
Males with a partner of childbearing potential must practice protocol-defined birth control for the duration of treatment and at least 96 hours after discontinuing the IP.
Female subjects of childbearing of potential (including those <1-year post menopausal) must practice protocol-defined birth control during the conduct of the study and for 30 days after the last dose of IP (males only during exposure to IP).
Women not of childbearing potential are defined as:
The subject has a confirmed diagnosis of any form of interstitial lung disease based on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest within 180 days prior to screening or at screening or a historical surgical biopsy (or other appropriate tissue sampling (e.g., cryobiopsy). The subject can have other findings (e.g., emphysema) if this is not the predominant feature on the scan.
Subjects have undergone RHC during the screening period with the following documented parameters:
Subjects must have a baseline 6-minute walk distance ≥100 meters and ≤500 meters.
Subjects agree to a repeat RHC, Chest CT, and MRI prior to study completion.
Subjects on chronic treatment for underlying lung disease (i.e., nintedanib or pirfenidone or immunosuppressive agents etc.) must be on a stable/optimized dose for ≥30 days prior to screening and have been receiving treatment for ≥90 days.
Subjects on supportive medications (e.g., inhalers for asthma) must be on stable doses for ≥30 days prior to screening.
In the Investigator's opinion, the subject must be able to consent for themselves and communicate with local staff using interpreters if necessary. Subjects must agree to attend all study visits and be contactable through a cellular device or landline.
Subjects must have clinical laboratory values within normal ranges or <1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) as specified by the testing laboratory.
Pulmonary function test (PFT) showing a percent predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) <70% of predicted and diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO) <70% corrected for hemoglobin (Hb) value ≥25% and ≤90% at screening (determined locally) using the American Thoracic Society (ATS) standards.
Subjects with a prior diagnosis of connective tissue diseases, specifically systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's disease, polymyositis/dermatomyositis/antisynthetase syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis can be included in the study, but no more than 20% of total subjects.
Negative serology test for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C antibody at Screening Visit.
Exclusion criteria
Medical Conditions
Subject has another concomitant diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension not otherwise considered to be PH-ILD. This would include and is not limited to the concomitant presence of thromboembolic disease, untreated/inadequately treated obstructive sleep apnea, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), methamphetamine or anorexigenic drug use, and other conditions of the WHO Group 1, 2, 4, and 5 classifications.
