Inclusion Criteria

  • Each subject must meet ALL of the following inclusion criteria to be
  • eligible for enrollment into the study:
  • 1. At least 18 years of age
  • 2. Evidence of a personally signed and dated Informed Consent Form
  • indicating that the subject has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study prior to initiation of any study-related procedures.
  • 3. Subjects who are willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
  • 4. Primary diagnosis of symptomatic PAH classified by one of the following subgroups:
  • a. Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension;
  • b. Heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension;
  • c. Drug or toxin induced based on prior exposure to drugs, chemicals, or
  • toxins, such as fenfluramine derivatives, other anorexigens, toxic rapeseed oil, or L-tryptophan.
  • d. PAH associated with: Connective tissue disease (CTD), HIV infection; Congenital systemic-pulmonary intracardiac shunt (must have
  • undergone surgical correction or repair with a closure device at least 1
  • year prior to Screening and have no, or a clinically
  • insignificant, shunt fraction [1.0 =pulmonary-systemic flow ratio =1.5]
  • in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • 5. Has had a right heart catheterization (RHC) performed at or within 3
  • years prior to Screening (RHC will be performed during Screening if not
  • available) that is consistent with the diagnosis of PAH, meeting all of the
  • following criteria:
  • a. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) =20 mmHg (at rest)
  • b. PAWP =15 mmHg (if PAWP cannot be reliably attained, then left
  • ventricular end diastolic pressure =15 mmHg)
  • c. PVR >2.00 Wood units (>160 dynes/sec/cm5).
  • 6. Has WHO/NYHA functional class II to IV symptoms.
  • 7. If on PAH-specific background oral therapy, subject is on stable
  • therapy with either an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) and/or a
  • PDE5-I or a soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator. Subjects must
  • have access to locally available standard of care treatment in accordance
  • with national guidelines
  • a. Stable is defined as no change in dose or regimen within 30 days prior
  • to Baseline and for the duration of the study.
  • b. Subjects may be on either a PDE5 inhibitor or an sGC at stable dose
  • (but not both).
  • c. If the subject's disease-specific PAH therapy does not include a PDE-5
  • inhibitor, the use of PDE5-I for erectile dysfunction, up to 3 doses per
  • week, is permitted.
  • 8. Has a 6MWD of =150 meters.
  • 9. If the subject is taking concomitant medications that may affect the
  • clinical manifestations of PAH (e.g., calcium channel blockers, diuretics,
  • digoxin, or L-arginine supplementation, beta blockers, angiotensinconverting
  • enzyme inhibitors, or angiotensin II receptor blockers), the
  • subject must be on a stable dose for at least 30 days prior to the
  • Baseline Visit and the dosage mainta, beta
  • blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, or angiotensin II
  • receptor blockers), the
  • subject must be on a stable dose for at least 30 days prior to the
  • Baseline Visit and the dosage maintained throughout the study. The exception is that the dose of
  • diuretics must be stable for
  • at least the 10 days prior to Baseline.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Subjects must not meet ANY of the following exclusion criteria to be
  • eligible for enrollment into the study, unless otherwise indicated:
  • 1. For subjects with known HIV-associated PAH, a cluster designation 4
  • T-cell count <200/mm3 within 90 days of Baseline.
  • 2. Subjects must not have 3 or more of the following left ventricular
  • dysfunction risk factors:
  • a. Body mass index =30 kg/m2
  • b. History of systemic hypertension
  • c. Diabetes mellitus – any type
  • d. Historical evidence of significant coronary artery disease established
  • by any 1 of the following: History of myocardial infarction or
  • percutaneous coronary intervention or angiographic evidence of
  • coronary artery disease (>50% stenosis in at least 1 coronary artery);
  • Positive stress test with imaging; Previous coronary artery bypass graft;
  • e. Recurrent or persistent atrial fibrillation.
  • 3. Has evidence of more than mild lung disease on PFTs performed
  • within 180 days prior to, or during Screening. Subjects with any of the
  • following criteria will be excluded:
  • a. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second <60% (predicted); or
  • b. Total lung capacity (TLC) <60% (predicted)
  • 4. Has evidence of thromboembolic disease as determined by a V/Q lung
  • scan or other local standard of care diagnostic evaluation at or after
  • diagnosis of PAH.
  • 5. Current diagnosis of ongoing and clinically significant sleep apnea as
  • defined by the Investigator.
  • 6. Male subjects with a corrected QT interval using Fridericia's formula
  • (QTcF) >450 msec and female subjects with a QTcF >470 msec on ECG
  • recorded at Screening and analyzed by the central ECG laboratory.
  • Subjects with evidence of intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD). In
  • the presence of IVCD, subjects, defined as a QRS interval greater than
  • 110 msec, will be excluded if the QTcF is
  • >500 msec for both males and females.
  • 7. Severe chronic liver disease (i.e., Child-Pugh Class C), portal
  • hypertension, cirrhosis or complications of cirrhosis/portal hypertension
  • (e.g., history of variceal hemorrhage, encephalopathy).
  • 8. Confirmed active infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C
  • virus (HCV).

  • =3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or total bilirubin =2 × ULN at
  • 10. Chronic renal insufficiency as defined by serum creatinine >2.5
  • mg/dL or requiring dialysis at Screening.
  • 11. Hemoglobin concentration <9 g/dL at Screening.
  • 12. Subjects treated with an IV or SC prostacyclin pathway agent (e.g.,
  • epoprostenol, treprostinil, or iloprost) for PAH at any time prior to Baseline (use in vasoreactive testing is permitted).
  • 13. Subjects currently on or who were treated with an inhaled or oral
