- PAH associated with connective tissue disease;

- PAH associated with simple, congenital systemic-to-pulmonary shunts at least
1 year following shunt repair;

- PAH associated with anorexigen or drug-induced toxicity;

5. Had a diagnostic right heart catheterization performed and documented within 36 months
prior to Day 1 that confirmed a diagnosis of PH

6. If WHO Group I, has been receiving no more than three (3) FDA-approved

7. WHO Group III or V patients who at rest require supplemental oxygen at a rate of >4
L/min and have peripheral capillary oxygen saturation levels <92%;

8. Has a history of clinically significant left-sided heart disease and/or clinically
significant cardiac disease,including but not limited to any of the following:

1. Congenital or acquired valvular disease if clinically significant apart from
tricuspid valvular insufficiency due to pulmonary hypertension;

2. Pericardial constriction;

3. Restrictive or congestive cardiomyopathy;

4. Left ventricular ejection fraction < 40% per echocardiogram (ECHO) within 60 days
of Day 1;

assessment;
