Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

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).
