Inclusion criteria

  • Participants must be ≥ 18 to ≤ 75 years at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).

  • PAH diagnosis for at least 3 months.

  • Endothelin receptor antagonists (eg, ambrisentan, bosentan, macitentan)
  • Phosphoesterase type 5 inhibitors (eg, sildenafil, tadalafil)
  • Guanylate cyclase stimulator (eg, riociguat)
  • No change in PH medications (eg, ambrisentan, bosentan, macitentan, sildenafil, tadalafil, riociguat) or dosage for at least 30 days prior to Screening.
  • No change in long-term diuretic use or dosage for at least 30 days prior to Screening.
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) within the range 18.0-37.0 kg/m^2 (inclusive).
  • Male participants: Male participants who are not sterile and have female partners of childbearing potential, must be using effective contraception from Day 1 to at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug.
  • Female participants: Women must be postmenopausal (defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause), surgically sterile, (ie, post-tubal ligation for at least 12 months) or using highly effective contraception methods (ie, methods that alone or in combination achieve <1% unintended pregnancy rates per year when used consistently and correctly) from Day 1 to at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug.
  • Male participants with pregnant or non-pregnant woman of childbearing potential partner must use a condom in order to avoid potential exposure to embryo/fetus.
