Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document.
* Was willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures and was deemed an appropriate candidate for participation in a long-term extension study.
* Female subjects were nonpregnant, nonlactating, surgically sterile or postmenopausal, or agreed to use an accepted method of birth control for at least 3 months prior to the first dose, during, and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
* Male subjects were either surgically sterile or agreed to use a condom with spermicide when sexually active with a female partner who was not using an acceptable method of birth control during the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
* Male and female subjects agreed not to participate in a conception process during the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
* Fulfilled all eligibility criteria for Study APD811-003 and completed the study as planned.

Subjects who were assigned to placebo in Study APD811-003 and experienced clinical worsening in that study could enroll in Study APD811-007 after completing all end of study procedures per protocol, including RHC, for Study APD811-003 and had their data locked.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
75 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
* Subjects who enrolled in Study APD811-003 and were withdrawn from study drug treatment due to any adverse event (AE), serious adverse event (SAE), or subjects who did not complete Study APD811003, with the exception made for placebo-treated subjects who experienced a clinical worsening event.
* Female •subjects who wished to become pregnant.
* Systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg at Baseline.
* Other severe acute or chronic medical or laboratory abnormalities that could have increased the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or interfered with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would have made the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.
