Pulmonary Hypertension: Sotatercept versus Placebo (CADENCE)

What is the Purpose of this Study?

This study focuses on individuals who have been diagnosed with a form of pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with left heart disease, known as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). PH is a disease affecting the blood vessels of the lungs, leading to increased pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs and straining of the right side of the heart. The purpose of the study is to determine whether an experimental treatment called sotatercept (given with participants’ current medications) is safe and can help slow the progression of PH caused by left heart disease, compared with current medications alone. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive sotatercept in one of 2 doses (0.3 mg/kg or 0.7 mg/kg) or placebo (inactive substance).
