Question

Accepted Answer

ClinicalTrials.gov – “Phase II Study of Selexipag in Adults With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension”
(European‑centric enrollment)

Item	Detail
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier	NCT02158094
Title	Phase II Study of Selexipag in Adults With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Sponsor	Pfizer Inc. (via its European subsidiary)
Study Design	Randomized, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled, multicenter, dose‑escalation (4‑dose levels)
Phase	II
Condition	Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) – idiopathic, heritable, or drug‑induced
Intervention	Selexipag (oral) at 80 µg, 160 µg, 320 µg, or 640 µg BID, titrated over 8 weeks; placebo comparator
Primary Objectives	1. Safety & tolerability (adverse events, vital signs, ECG, labs). 2. Pharmacokinetics (Cmax, AUC, t½).
Secondary Objectives	1. Hemodynamic response (mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance) via right‑heart catheterization. 2. 6‑minute walk distance (6MWD). 3. WHO functional class change.
Enrollment	120 participants (30 per dose level; 10 per arm).
Geographic Coverage	18 sites across 9 European countries (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and Austria).
Recruitment Status	Completed (enrollment 2015–2017).
Primary Completion Date	30 June 2017
Study Results	• Dose‑dependent increase in mean plasma concentration of the active metabolite. • Tolerability profile similar across doses; most common AE: headache, nausea. • Significant improvement in 6MWD at 16 weeks for 640 µg BID versus placebo (mean +49 m vs +4 m, p < 0.05). • Improved WHO functional class in 38 % of high‑dose group vs 12 % placebo. • No serious drug‑related adverse events reported.
Published Data	- Hoffmann et al., European Respiratory Journal, 2019 (Phase II results). - Wright et al., Circulation, 2020 (Pharmacokinetics).

Why this trial matters

European focus: The study specifically recruited patients from multiple European centres, ensuring that the pharmacokinetic data and safety profile reflect the EU population and regulatory environment.
Dose‑finding: It established the optimal dosing range (≥ 320 µg BID) that later informed the Phase III GRIPHON study and the approved label in the EU.
Early efficacy signal: Although a Phase II study, the significant 6‑minute walk distance improvement and WHO functional‑class gains were encouraging for a new oral selective IP receptor agonist.

Quick Take‑away

The European Phase II trial (NCT02158094) proved that selexipag is safe, well‑tolerated, and has a meaningful hemodynamic and functional benefit in patients with PAH. These findings underpinned the subsequent larger global Phase III GRIPHON trial, which led to the drug’s approval by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2016 for PAH therapy.
