Name Time Method Main Objective: The primary objective of this open-label, LTFU study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of sotatercept when added to background PAH therapy in adult participants with PAH.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective is to follow participants from parent sotatercept studies that were treated with sotatercept or placebo and assess continued efficacy.;Primary end point(s): The following endpoints will be evaluated as a measure of safety and tolerability:<br>• AEs<br>• Anti-drug antibodies (ADA)<br>• Clinical laboratory assessments (hematology and serum<br>chemistry/FSH, and urinalysis)<br>• Vital signs<br>• 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 months and 48 months
