About this trial
This is a Phase Ib/IIa clinical study of IMC-003 treatment in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients receiving background therapy
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age screening between 18 and 75 years (inclusive), regardless of gender.
Patients diagnosed with WHO Group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) confirmed by right heart catheterization (RHC) before initial dosing (see Appendix 1), including the following subtypes: idiopathic PAH; heritable PAH; drug- or toxin-induced PAH; PAH associated with connective tissue diseases that is inactive; PAH associated with simple congenital heart defects with systemic-to-pulmonary shunts, at least one year post-correction surgery.
Symptomatic pulmonary arterial hypertension, WHO functional class II or III.
Must also meet the following hemodynamic criteria: mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) ≥25 mmHg at rest; pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ≤15 mmHg.
Disqualifiers
Diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension of WHO Group 2, 3, 4, or 5.
Diagnosed with the following PAH subtypes of WHO Group 1: HIV-associated PAH, portal hypertension-associated PAH, schistosomiasis-associated PAH, PAH related to pulmonary veno-occlusive disease or pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis, patients with PAH known to have a positive acute pulmonary vasoreactivity test.
Poorly controlled hypertension after screening: seated systolic BP >160 mmHg or seated diastolic BP >100 mmHg, or pre-dose systolic BP <90 mmHg on C1D1.
Pre-dose electrocardiogram (ECG) Fridericia-corrected QT interval (QTcF) ≥470 ms for men, ≥480 ms for women; or personal or family history of long QT syndrome (LQTS) or sudden cardiac death.

Treatments tested in this trial
IMC-003 and PAH background therapy
DrugSubjects will receive 8 injections of IMC-003 and will also need to have stable background treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension.
IMC-003 placebo and PAH background therapy
DrugSubjects will receive 8 injections placebo of IMC-003 and will also need to have stable background treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple subcutaneous injections of IMC-003 in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, providing a basis for selecting the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of this product.
Secondary outcomes
At 24 weeks of treatment, the change in hemodynamic indicator pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) from baseline.
