Clinical trial for Pulmonary Hypertension
Official title Mechanistic Study of Nicotinamide Riboside on NAD+ Biology in Individuals With Combined Pulmonary Hypertension
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07563322
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study aims to see how nicotinamide riboside changes biological markers in the body, not to test if it improves symptoms or outcomes.
- Who it's for
- Adults who have combined pre‑ and post‑capillary pulmonary hypertension, a type of high‑risk lung‑heart disease.
- What's involved
- Participants will take nicotinamide riboside and a placebo in a controlled order, while doctors measure blood, urine, and other lab tests to track changes.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts several weeks, with a few clinic visits for blood draws and health checks.
You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
