About this trial
Researchers are looking for other ways to treat people with combined postcapillary and precapillary pulmonary hypertension (CpcPH). This trial focuses on CpcPH that is related to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The goal of the study is to learn if participants who receive sotatercept live longer without their CpcPH-HFpEF getting worse than those who receive placebo.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Time to Clinical Worsening (TTCW)
TTCW was defined as time to first occurrence of any of the following events: cardiovascular (CV) death, hospitalization due to worsening heart failure (HF) or pulmonary hypertension (PH), urgent visits due to worsening HF or PH, or deterioration in exercise capacity (≥15% decrease from baseline in 6-minute walk distance \[6MWD\], confirmed by 2 tests) due to worsening HF or PH. CV deaths are defined as any deaths with a primary CV cause, including acute myocardial infarction (MI), sudden cardiac death, HF, PH worsening, stroke, and other CV causes.
Secondary outcomes
Time to First Event of CV Death, Hospitalization Due to Worsening HF or PH, or Urgent Visit Due to Worsening HF or PH
CV deaths are defined as any deaths with a primary CV cause, including acute MI, sudden cardiac death, HF, PH worsening, stroke, and other CV causes. The time to first event of CV death, hospitalization due to worsening HF or PH, or urgent visit due to worsening HF or PH will be presented.
Time to First Event of CV Death or Hospitalization Due to Worsening HF or PH
CV deaths are defined as any deaths with a primary CV cause, including acute MI, sudden cardiac death, HF, PH worsening, stroke, and other CV causes. The time to first event of CV death or hospitalization due to worsening HF or PH will be presented.
Change From Baseline in 6MWD at Week 24
The 6MWD tests the distance walked in 6 minutes as an assessment of exercise capacity. The baseline value for 6MWD is the average of the 2 values collected during Screening. The change from baseline in 6MWD at Week 24 will be presented.
Time to the Date of Death Due to Any Cause
The time to date of death (all causes) will be presented.
