About ASCENT
An Open-Label ProSpective MultiCENTer Study to Evaluate Safety and Tolerability of Dry Powder Inhaled Treprostinil in PH (ASCENT), listed as ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT06129240, will evaluate the safety and tolerability of LIQ861 in subjects who have WHO Group 1 and 3 pulmonary hypertension. Cohort A includes 54 subjects who have WHO Group 3 Pulmonary Hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). Additional cohorts from either Group 1 or Group 3 may be defined in future protocol amendments. Scheduled study visits to the clinic will occur at Screening, Baseline, Week 8, Week 16, Week 24, and Week 52. During this time, dose titration may be ordered at the Investigator's discretion and in accordance with the guidance provided. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LIQ861 in subjects with WHO Group 1 & 3 Pulmonary Hypertension (PH). The exploratory objectives of the study are to assess the effects of LIQ861 on exercise capacity, functional class, relevant biomarkers, and imaging assessments.
