Popis: Abstract Pulmonary arterial hypertension is characterized by elevated blood pressure and pathological changes in the pulmonary arterioles, leading to the development of right-heart failure and potentially fatal outcomes if left untreated. This review aims to provide an overview of novel drugs or formulations and new drug indications for pulmonary arterial hypertension that are currently in phases II–III of randomized controlled trials, and describe the rationale for the use of these targeted therapies, as well as their efficacy, safety profile, and impact on quality of life and survival. The literature research was conducted using data from ClinicalTrials.gov for the period between 1 January 2016 up to 31 December 2022. The population of interest includes individuals aged ≥ 18 years who have been diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The review selection criteria included trials with recruiting, enrolling by invitation, active, terminated or completed status in 2022 and 2023. A total of 24 studies were selected for evaluation based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. This review summarizes the updated information from randomized clinical trials involving novel therapies for pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, larger clinical trials are required to validate their clinical safety and effects. In the future, clinicians should choose therapies based on the patient's individual situation and requirements when developing treatment strategies.
