6. Any disease known to cause pulmonary hypertension other than PAH WHO Group 1.
7. Obstructive lung disease: Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second/Forced Vital Capacity (FEV1/FVC) < 60% and FEV1 < 60% of predicted value after bronchodilator administration, as demonstrated and documented by previous spirometry data which, in the opinion of the investigator, represent the clinical state of the patient at the time of visit V1.

9. History of moderate to severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B and C).

11. Use of the following prohibited medication or treatments during study participation: calcium channel blockers (CCBs) if used for the treatment of PAH in vasoreactive patients; drugs containing a catechol group that is metabolised by DßH (e.g. rimiterole, isoprenaline, dopamine, dopexamine or dobutamide) or a- and/or ß-blockers.
12. Presence of any other significant or progressive/unstable medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise evaluation of the study treatment or may jeopardise the patient’s safety, compliance or adherence to protocol requirements.

13. For women: Pregnancy or breast-feeding. Women of childbearing potential unable or unwilling to undergo pregnancy tests and practice highly effective contraceptive measures in combination with a barrier method e.g. condom (without spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository or fator oil-containing lubricants), occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal gel/film/cream/suppository from the time of informed consent until 30 days after the last IMP intake. Highly effective methods for women are surgical intervention (e.g. bilateral tubal occlusion), nonhormonal implantable intrauterine device, true sexual abstinence (i.e. when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient) and vasectomised partner (provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner of the patient and the partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success). Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods), hormonal contraceptives and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
For men: Male patients who are sexually active with a partner of childbearing potential must use, with their partner, a condom plus an approved acceptable contraceptive measure from the time of informed consent until 90 days after the last IMP intake. The following methods are acceptable methods of contraception:
