A Multicenter, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Crossover Study to Assess the Effects of a Single Dose of Iloprost Power 15 on Exercise Capacity in Patients With Symptomatic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Patients with symptomatic idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), or familial
pulmonary arterial hypertension (FPAH) or pulmonary hypertension associated with Human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or drugs/toxins in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional
class II to IV at baseline, naive to PAH treatment or currently being treated with a stable
dose of either bosentan, ambrisentan or sildenafil will be enrolled in the PROWESS 15 study.
This randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, and single-dose study will
determine whether a single inhaled dose of iloprost using the power 15 disc improves
exercise capacity compared to placebo in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension
(PAH).

Inclusion Criteria:
- Signed informed consent prior to initiation of any study mandated procedure,
- Patients with symptomatic idiopathic, or familial pulmonary arterial hypertension or
pulmonary hypertension associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or
drugs/toxins in NYHA functional class II to IV.
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test and must
use an adequate method of contraception during the study and for 28 days after
discontinuation of the study drug.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension related to any condition other than those specified
in the inclusion criteria,

involvement (Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) > 15 mmHg),
- Known pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, or pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis,
- Moderate to severe obstructive lung disease: forced expiratory volume in 1
second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) < 70% and FEV1 < 65% of predicted value after
bronchodilator administration,
- Moderate to severe restrictive lung disease: total lung capacity (TLC) < 60% of
predicted value,
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women,
- Systemic hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure
> 100 mmHg on repeated measurement),
- Systolic blood pressure < 95 mmHg,
- Moderate to severe hepatic impairment, i.e., Child-Pugh Class B or C,
- Chronic renal insufficiency defined by serum creatinine > 2.5 mg/dL (221 μmol/L) or
ongoing dialysis,
- Clinically relevant bleeding disorder or active bleeding,
- For those patients on monotherapy, any contraindication to bosentan, ambrisentan, or
sildenafil, according to product label,
- Known hypersensitivity to iloprost or any of its excipients.
