Brief Summary  

This is multi-centric, open label, single arm study , phase IV study, planned in different centres in 25 patients in India. Patients who are on oral sildenafil will be hospitalized and temporarily given Sildenafil Injection as per actual clinical practice (as per investigator’ discretion). Adverse events including medically significant laboratory changes- incidence, severity, causality and

outcome will be collected from the signing of informed consent form until discontinuation of study treatment due to disease progression, intolerability, withdrawal of consent, death or treatment completion (switching back to oral sildenafil). Efficacy parameters will be evaluated on baseline visit, treatment completion visit and study completion visit. The objective of evaluating safety and efficacy data on three visits is to obtain situational and conclusive clinical data (switching from oral to Sildenafil IV and vice versa) from

patients with PAH.

 

Primary Outcome measure(s): (Safety)

·         Proportion of subjects with adverse events and serious adverse events during Sildenafil Injection treatment period.

Adverse events including medically significant laboratory changes-incidence, severity, causality and outcome will be collected from the signing of informed consent form until discontinuation of study treatment due to disease progression, intolerability, withdrawal of consent, death or treatment completion (switching back to oral sildenafil).

 

Secondary Outcome measure(s): (Efficacy)

·         Mean change in distance travel in 6 min walk from baseline [ Time frame: Treatment completion, study completion]

·         Mean change in PAP from baseline [Time frame: Treatment completion, study completion].

Mean change in BNP level from baseline [ Time frame: Treatment completion, study completion].
