Background: MK-5475 is an investigational inhaled soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator hypothesised to avoid most side-effects of systemic vasodilation.

Methods: The phase 2 INSIGNIA-PAH (NCT04732221) trial randomised adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) on stable background therapy 1:1:1:1 to once-daily dosing with placebo, MK-5475 32 µg, 100 µg or 380 µg dry powder inhalation for 12 weeks.

Objectives: The objectives were to evaluate pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR; primary), 6-min walk distance (6MWD; secondary), additional selected haemodynamic parameters, and safety and tolerability in participants with PAH.
