RESUMEN

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe medical condition with a number of treatment options, the majority of which are introduced without consideration of the underlying mechanisms driving it within an individual and thus a lack of tailored approach to treatment. The one exception is a patient presenting with apparent pulmonary arterial hypertension and shown to have vaso-responsive disease, whose clinical course and prognosis is significantly improved by high dose calcium channel blockers. PH is however characterized by a relative abundance of available data from patient cohorts, ranging from molecular data characterizing gene and protein expression in different tissues to physiological data at the organ level and clinical information. Integrating available data with mechanistic information at the different scales into computational models suggests an approach to a more personalized treatment of the disease using model-based optimization of interventions for individual patients. That is, constructing digital twins of the disease, customized to a patient, promises to be a key technology for personalized medicine, with the aim of optimizing use of existing treatments and developing novel interventions, such as new drugs. This article presents a perspective on this approach in the context of a review of existing computational models for different aspects of the disease, and it lays out a roadmap for a path to realizing it.

RESUMEN

In Riociguat rEplacing PDE5i therapy evaLuated Against Continued PDE5i thErapy (REPLACE) (NCT02891850), improvements in risk status were observed in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) at intermediate risk switching to riociguat versus continuing phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5i). This post hoc study applied the Registry to Evaluate Early and Long-Term PAH Disease Management (REVEAL) Lite 2 and Comparative Prospective Registry of Newly Initiated Therapies for Pulmonary (COMPERA) 2.0 risk-assessment tools to REPLACE to investigate the impact of baseline risk status on clinical improvement. The proportions of riociguat- and PDE5i-treated patients achieving the primary end-point at REVEAL Lite 2 low, intermediate, and high baseline risk reflected the overall population. Proportions of riociguat-treated patients achieving the primary end-point were comparable between the COMPERA 2.0 intermediate-low risk (39%) and intermediate-high risk (43%) groups. Our findings show that patients in REPLACE achieved clinical improvement by switching from PDE5i to riociguat across all COMPERA 2.0 and most REVEAL Lite 2 baseline risk strata.
