Conclusion

1. RAP-011 improves pulmonary hemodynamics in advanced stages of PAH

RAP-011 (Sotatercept) treatment, distinct from sildenafil,improves pulmonary hemodynamics, RV structure andcardiac function, and may provide a novel disease-modifying benefit to patients with PAH.

Novel therapies that reverse remodeled pulmonary arteries, improve pulmonary hemodynamics and restore right ventricular (RV) structure and function are warranted

in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Aberrant BMP/TGFβ signaling plays a prominent role in pulmonary vascular remodeling. RAP-011 (a murine analog of Sotatercept), a recombinanthomodimeric fusion protein consisting of extracellular domain of human ActRIIA linked to murine immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 Fc domain, was recently shown to rebalance BMP/TGFβ signaling and attenuate early stage PAH in preclinical models. Sotatercept, a selective ligand trap for activin/GDFs, is currently being evaluated in the PULSAR Phase 2 trial in PAH.

RAP-011 (Sotatercept) is distinct from sildenafil in its ability to improve pulmonary hemodynamics as well as restore RV structure and function.

Hypothesis

Pulmonary hemodynamics, Pulmonary arteriopathy,RV structure and function were assessed at the end ofthe study period (week 9 or 13, N= 3-8 per group).
