Study Overview

Brief Summary

This Phase 2 study (EPIMODE) will evaluate the efficacy and safety of CS1 compared with placebo when added to standard-of-care therapy in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Participants completing Treatment Period 1 (Week 36) will be re-randomized to continue or switch study treatment for Treatment Period 2 through Week 52.
