Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1 At least 18 years of age 2 Symptomatic PAH in WHO FC II, III, or IV 3 PAH subtype falling in one of the below classifications: 4 Idiopathic, heritable, drug- or toxin-induced, or related to connective tissue disease, HIV infection, portal hypertension, or congenital heart disease 5 Have a PAH diagnosis confirmed by hemodynamic evaluation at rest at any time prior to screening: - Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) > 20 mm Hg, AND - Pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) or left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) = 15 mm Hg, AND - Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) = 3 Wood Units (i.e., = 240 dyn•sec•cm-5) Additional criteria will be assessed at the screening visit.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1 Known presence of three or more of the following risk factors for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction at screening, based on records that confirm documented medical history: - Body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2 - Diabetes mellitus of any type - Essential hypertension (even if well controlled) - Coronary artery disease, i.e., any of the following: – History of stable angina, known more than 50% stenosis in a coronary artery, history of myocardial infarction, or history of or planned coronary artery bypass grafting and/or coronary artery stenting 2 Presence of moderate or severe obstructive or restrictive lung disease in patients with a known or suspected history of significant lung disease Additional criteria will be assessed at the screening visit. 3 Treatment with a strong CYP3A4 inducer (eg, rifabutin, rifampin, rifampicin, rifapentin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, St. John’s Wort) within 1 month prior to randomization or start of run-in, if applicable 4 Treatment with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (eg, ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, clarithromycin, telithromycin, nefazodone, ritonavir, and saquinavir) or a moderate dual CYP3A4/CYP2C9 inhibitor (eg, fluconazole, amiodarone) or coadministration of a combination of moderate CYP3A4 (eg, ciprofloxacin, cyclosporine, diltiazem, erythromycin, verapamil) and moderate CYP2C9 inhibitors (eg, miconazole, piperine), in the 1-month period prior to randomization, or start of run-in, if applicable. External use (cream, shampoo, etc) per approved label is permitted. 5 Significant unrepaired structural left heart valvular disease (ie, moderate or severe aortic or mitral stenosis or regurgitation); pericardial constriction; restrictive or congestive left-sided cardiomyopathy; life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias; significant left ventricular dysfunction; or left ventricular outflow obstruction 6 Known or suspected pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) 7 Permanent atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, in the opinion of the investigator. 8 Known moderate to severe hepatic impairment, defined as Child-Pugh Class B or C, based on records that confirm documented medical history.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Time to first CEC-adjudicated M/M event on-treatment (ie, up to 7 days after the last dose of double-blind (DB) study intervention), defined as time from randomization to the first of the following events: - All-cause death, including deaths caused by an on-treatment AE, that occur within 4 weeks of study DB treatment discontinuation - Non-planned PAH-related hospitalization (including for worsening of PAH, atrial septostomy, lung transplantation with or without heart transplantation, or initiation of parenteral prostacyclins) - PAH-related disease progression, defined as (both criteria must be satisfied): o Deterioration by at least 15% in exercise capacity, as measured by the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), from baseline, confirmed by a second 6MWD test performed on a different day within 2 weeks of the initial test o Initiation of additional PAH therapy or Worsening of WHO FCTimepoint: At each study visits, monthly and at any time in case of event occurrence, until 217 M/M events are reached

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1 Change from baseline to Week 24 in 6MWD 2 Time to first occurrence of either death due to PAH or hospitalization for PAH, CEC adjudicated event on-treatment (ie, up to 7 days after the last dose of DB study intervention), as defined hereafter: - Death due to PAH, including deaths caused by on-treatment AE that occur within 4 weeks of study DB treatment discontinuation OR - Non-planned PAH-related hospitalization 3 Change from baseline to Week 24 in PAH-SYMPACT: - Cardiopulmonary symptom domain score - Cardiovascular symptom domain score 4 Time to death occurring between randomization and end of double blind treatment (EDBT) period as defined hereafter: - All-cause death, including all deaths occurring during the DB period regardless of potential discontinuation of study intervention or initiation or change in PAH medication.Timepoint: Screening, Day 1, Month 3, and all scheduled visits thereafter until EDBT or anytime in case of event, with the exception of PAH-SYMPACT
