About this study
The goal of this study is to learn more about how sotatercept works and if it helps the lung arteries become healthier. Sotatercept will be associated with the following: 1. Improvement in capillary blush, reduce the tapering and tortuosity of affected vessels on pulmonary wedge angiography and decreased wall thickness on intravascular ultrasound in previously affected areas. 2. Improvement in previously poorly or non-perfused areas rather than increased perfusion to previously perfused areas. 3. No changes in baseline ventilation and improvement and ventilation/perfusion matching.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
