This retrospective multicentric study aimed to describe the real-world utilization of riociguat in France. The results showed that riociguat is used in accordance with its therapeutic indication in France for the treatment of inoperable and persistent/recurrent post-surgery chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension patients, and confirmed its long-term safety.
Background: Riociguat is the first approved treatment for inoperable and persistent/recurrent post-surgery chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The RetrospectIve Adempas (R) stuDy (RiAD) aimed to describe the real-world utilization of riociguat in France. Methods: In this retrospective multicentric study in patients initiating riociguat, dosing regimen, co -treat-ments and clinical characteristics were collected over a 2-year follow-up period. Results: A total of 173 patients (mean age, 71.4 years; female, 63.0%; NYHA II-III, 80.3%) were included from January 2015 to December 2016 in 18 centers. All patients were diagnosed with CTEPH (75.7% inoperable and 20.8% with persistent/recurrent pulmonary hypertension [pH] after surgery) with mean (SD) right atrial pressure 7.6 (4.2) mmHg, mean pulmonary artery pressure 43.0 (11.4) mmHg and mean cardiac output 4.1 (1.1) L/min. Before riociguat initiation, 32.4% of patients previously received at least one pH-specific therapy. At initiation, 93.1% of patients were receiving anticoagulants and 83.2% were not receiving pH-specific co -treatments. Riociguat was initiated at 1 mg three times daily (t.i.d.) in 85.5% of patients and 82.1% were receiving 2.5 mg dose t.i.d. at 24 months. The maximal daily dose of 7.5 mg was never exceeded. At 24 months, the estimated rate of patients still taking riociguat was 78.8% with an estimated mean (SD) time on treatment of 20.1 (0.5) months per patient. No new safety signals were recorded. Conclusions: The results of this real-world study show that riociguat is used in France in accordance with its therapeutic indication in patients with inoperable or persistent/recurrent post-operative CTEPH and confirm its long-term safety.
