Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a hemodynamic and pathophysiological state, which can cause progressive hyperplasia of pulmonary vascular walls and elevated pulmonary arterial pressure for various reasons. Ambrisentan is a selective endothelin-A (ETA) receptor antagonist with vasodilatory, antiproliferative and vascular remodeling effects at a dose of 5 mg or 10 mg once daily, oral. A number of international clinical studies have shown that ambrisentan can improve the hemodynamic parameters, WHO functional classification and exercise tolerance of PAH patients, and improve the survival rate. The domestic Ambrisentan tablet is produced by Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. under the trade name of Pu Nuo An. It has been developed and completed according to the consistency evaluation standard after the bioequivalence test, and is currently listed in mainland China. In view of the low price of the domestic ambrisentan, in order to verify its efficacy and safety in the real world, this post-marketing multicenter clinical study was carried out.
This multicenter, open label, single-arm study is aim at investigating the the efficacy and safety of china made ambrisentan in Chinese subjects with PAH.
