Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety of PLX-PAD to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). PLX-PAD is a cell-based product made of allogeneic Mesenchymal-like Adherent Stromal Cells (ASCs), derived from human full-term placentas following an elective caesarean section. This year-long study will evaluate the safety of three different dose levels of PLX-PAD, each given as a single intravenous infusion. This study will also evaluate effects that PLX-PAD may have on PAH, such as changes in the ability to exercise and on other tests used to measure the disease severity.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Exclusion Criteria

Eligible subjects:

* Are between 18 and 75 years of age
* Have a minimum weight of 45 kg
* Have a diagnosis of idiopathic or heritable PAH, PAH associated with connective tissue disease (CTD), PAH associated with repaired congenital systemic-to-pulmonary cardiac shunt (at least one year since repair), or PAH associated with appetite suppressant/drug or toxin use confirmed by RHC
* Have a current WHO functional class II or III designation
* Have been stabilized, without dose changes for at least 30 days prior to the Screening visit on at least two approved PAH medications (e.g., PDE-5 inhibitor, ERA, prostanoid \[as inhalation or infusion\]); or IV prostanoid monotherapy. Subjects on an IV prostanoid must have been receiving therapy for at least three months prior to the Screening visit.
* Have a 6MWD equal to or greater than 200 meters (m) at the Screening and Baseline Visits.

Subjects must not:

* Have any evidence of pulmonary thrombus, significant coronary artery disease (CAD), left ventricular dysfunction, or a restrictive or congestive cardiomyopathy
* Have a history of malignancies within the past 5 years,with the exception of individuals with localized, non-metastatic basal cell carcinoma of the skin, in situ carcinoma of the cervix, or prostate cancer who are not currently or expected to undergo radiation therapy, chemotherapy and/or surgical intervention, or to initiate hormonal treatment during the study
* Be listed for transplantation
* Be pregnant or nursing
