A Phase 3 Study of Extended-release Tacrolimus in Subjects With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and Functional Limitations

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Safety and Efficacy Study of VI-0106 (Extended-release Tacrolimus) in Subjects With PAH and Functional Limitations Despite Optimized Treatment With Available PAH Medications

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study evaluates the effects of VI-0106 (an extended-release formulation of tacrolimus) in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who continue to have functional limitations despite being on optimized background PAH therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned with equal chance to receive either VI-0106 or placebo in a double-blind fashion to assess whether VI-0106 improves outcomes in this population.
