WHO cardiac function grade II, III; 7. If receiving basic therapy for PAH, including but not limited to anticoagulants, diuretics, digoxin, and oxygen therapy, must be on a stable dose with no change within 2 weeks prior to randomization; 8. Patients who have not received pulmonary hypertension-targeted drugs within 4 weeks prior to randomization (including endothelin receptor antagonists, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, guanylate cyclase agonists, prostacyclin analogues, prostacyclin receptor agonists); 9. Able to take effective contraceptive measures during the trial and within 3 months after the end of the trial

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients with PH who belong to category 2~5 of the clinical classification of PH, as well as patients with other types of PAH in category 1 not covered by the inclusion criteria; 2. Pulmonary function test results meet any of the following: a) Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) 1.5 times ULN) or potential bleeding risk; 5. Abnormal liver function tests with the following criteria: serum total bilirubin >3 times ULN, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >2.5 times ULN or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >2.5 times ULN; 6. Abnormal renal function tests, meeting the following criteria: serum creatinine >2 times ULN; 7. Patients with severe left heart dysfunction; 8.

Those who meet any of the following criteria for infectious disease screening: a) Active hepatitis B virus infection (subjects who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] or positive for hepatitis B core antibody [HBcAb], if HBV-DNA is below the upper limit of normal and ALT and AST are normal, can be enrolled) b) Hepatitis C virus infection (defined as HCV antibody positive) c) Individuals with human immunodeficiency virus infection (defined as HIV antibody positive) d) Syphilis infected (defined as Treponema pallidum antibody positive) 16. In addition to the study diseases, other diseases such as digestive system, urinary system, reproductive system, nervous system, endocrine system, immune system, etc., or clinically significant examination abnormalities, which may interfere with the subject's participation in this clinical trial as judged by the investigator; 17. History of malignant tumors within 2 years prior to screening, except for cured basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; 18. Pregnant or lactating women, or those who have a positive pregnancy test; 19. Allergic symptoms or history of allergy to the active ingredients or excipients of the study drug; 20.
