Measuring Outcomes In Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Not on Active Treatment (MOTION)

The MOTION study was a prospective, Phase IV study for patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). The study was designed to further explore patient-reported outcomes in PAH subjects who were not on active treatment and living in the United States. In addition, the study explored the use of new telemetric technology (Accelerator band) to evaluate if this technology correlates with improvements in 6 Minute Walking Distance 6MWD in patients with PAH.

Treatment and study plan

Riociguat (Adempas, BAY63-2521)

Drug

Participants received therapy with riociguat during a 10-week titration phase. The starting dose for riociguat for all patients was 0.5 milligram (mg) three times a day (TID). The dose of riociguat was increased every 2 weeks in 0.5 mg increments to 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 mg until patients reached their individual optimal dose based on their systolic blood pressure and well-being. After reaching their optimal dose, patients then entered a maintenance phase and remained on this dose for an additional 14 weeks. End of treatment was reached at Visit 10 after 24 weeks of treatment with riociguat.
