Survival in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension treated with riociguat versus other medications: a COMPERA analysis

Extract: Current treatment options for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) include surgical pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), interventional balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and medical therapy [1, 2]. For many years, medical treatment primarily involved off-label us...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:Extract: Current treatment options for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) include surgical pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), interventional balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and medical therapy [1, 2]. For many years, medical treatment primarily involved off-label use of drugs approved for pulmonary arterial hypertension, despite limited and sometimes inconclusive evidence supporting their effectiveness in CTEPH patients. In 2014, riociguat, a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator, became the first drug approved for treating patients with inoperable CTEPH or persistent/recurrent pulmonary hypertension (PH) post-surgery [3]. Parenteral treprostinil was subsequently approved for CTEPH [4], although its use has remained limited, likely due to the invasiveness and associated side-effects.
