A Trial of "APL-9796'' in Adults With Pulmonary Hypertension

A Phase 2, Multicentre, Open-Label Trial to Evaluate APL-9796 in Adult Participants With Pulmonary Hypertension (ViTAL-PH)

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The AP13CP02 study is a phase 2, open-label, dose escalation trial to determine how safe and tolerable multiple subcutaneous (SC) injections of APL-9796 are for patients with PH. The study will also assess how effective APL-9796 could be for treating patients with PH and whether the body produces antibodies working against APL-9796. The trial will be conducted in two parts: * Part A: Up to 36 adults with WHO Group 1 Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). * Part B (optional): Up to 12 adults with WHO Group 3 - PH associated with ILD (PH-ILD).

Participant has the CardioMEMS PA Sensor implanted. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Hospital admission related to PH within 3 months prior to Screening. 2.
