Brief Summary:
This protocol describes an open-label phase 2 clinical trial of fluoxetine in PAH looking at change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) as the primary endpoint.
In this open-label clinical trial, 18 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension will be given fluoxetine for 24 weeks. A Right Heart Catheterization will be performed at baseline and 24 weeks. Change in PVR will be the primary endpoint; other hemodynamic endpoints, quality of life, QIDS-SR depression scale, functional class and six-minute walk distance will also be evaluated.
Primary Hypothesis: Fluoxetine treatment for 24 weeks will lead to significantly lower pulmonary vascular resistance in 18 patients with PAH in patients treated in an open-label clinical trial.
