129 Xenon MRI as a Biomarker for Diagnosis and Response to Therapy in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Feb 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The overall study objectives outlined in this study are to derive 129Xe MRI pulmonary vascular biomarker signatures that differentiate common subtypes of PAH and to determine the ability of 129Xe MRI to longitudinally monitor disease progression and response to therapy in PAH, with the aid of additional assessments, such as labs, echocardiography, and six-minute walk distance (6MWD).

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Other illness

  • PH other than Idiopathic PAH or PAH associated with CTD; any conditions that prevent the performance of 129Xe MRI scans will be excluded from the study.
