Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare, but intractable and lethal disease. Now there are some pharmacological treatments, including bosentan, the endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA), and sildenafil, the phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor. These drugs are actually used in combination in clinical practice, but there is an article reported in 2005 which concludes that bosentan significantly decreases the plasma concentration of sildenafil when coadministered to patients with pulmonary hypertension. This can be a significant problem in the treatment of this disease.
In practice, sildenafil is taken three times a day while bosentan is taken twice a day, which makes these two drugs taken at the same time in the morning and in the evening. Sildenafil reaches its Cmax only one hour after medication and its half-life period is about three hours, while bosentan reaches its Cmax three hours after medication and its half-life period is about four hours.
Considering these pharmacokinetic differences of the two drugs, we hypothesize that it is possible to avoid suppressing plasma concentration of sildenafil even in combination use with bosentan if only the timing of one drug is staggered from the other.
The aim of this study is to investigate the change of plasma concentration of sildenafil and bosentan between simultaneous administration and staggering administration in PH patients who now use both drugs.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Plasma cancentration of sildenafil and its primary metabolite N-desmethylsildenafil of the following blood samples;
before dose, and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 h post dose of the first sildenafil on the day.

Key secondary outcomes

# Plasma concentration of Bosentan of the same points above.
# Blood pressure of before dose, 1 and 3 h post dose of the first sildenafil on the day.
