Brief Summary

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

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).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Part A: in adults with WHO Group 1 PAH.

Three (3) APL-9796 dose levels are planned for evaluation using BOIN design.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

APL-9796

Intervention Type DRUG

3 Cohorts are planned in Part A.

Part B (optional): in adults with WHO Group 3 PH-ILD

Cohorts will be enrolled sequentially at N=4, at a dose level determined by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) based on data from Part A.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

APL-9796

Intervention Type DRUG

The decision to initiate optional Part B in WHO Group 3 PH-ILD participants will be made by the Safety Review Committee (SRC).
