Overview
The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of seralutinib on improving exercise capacity in subjects with WHO Group 1 PAH who are FC II or III. The secondary objective for this trial is to determine time to clinical worsening.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 45 mL/min/1.73m\^2 Hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration \< 8.5 g/dL at Screening. 19. Evidence of active or latent Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C, or tuberculosis (TB) infection at Screening. 20. Prior/concurrent treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors or activin signaling inhibitors: 1. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors, other than Janus kinase inhibitors approved for systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases, within 12 weeks prior to Screening. 2. Activin signaling inhibitors within 5 half-lives prior to Screening. 21. Requirement of IV inotropes (ie, levosimendan, dopamine, dobutamine, milrinone, norepinephrine) or IV diuretics for more than 24 hours within 4 weeks prior to Screening. 22. Subjects currently receiving oral anticoagulants (ie, warfarin/other vitamin K antagonists or direct-acting oral anticoagulants \[DOACs\]) if any of the following criteria are met: a. History within 24 weeks of Screening of: i. Syncope, or ii. Symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ iii. Intramuscular with compartment syndrome, or iv. Bleeding causing a fall in hemoglobin levels of 1.24 mmol/L (20 g/L or greater) or more, or v. Bleeding leading to a transfusion of 2 U or more of whole blood or red blood cells. b. History of central nervous system pathology. c. History of clinically significant (massive) hemoptysis. d. If on warfarin/other vitamin K antagonist, uncontrolled International normalized ratio (eg, INR \> 3) as assessed. e. Platelet count \< 150 x 10\^9/L at Screening. f. Concomitant use of antiplatelet agents. g. CTD-APAH h. Concomitant use of sotatercept. 23. Prior participation in seralutinib studies and/or prior treatment with seralutinib. 24. Currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device for the treatment of PAH within 12 weeks or 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is longer, prior to Screening. 25. Current use of inhaled tobacco- or nicotine-containing products (including e-vapor products) and/or inhaled marijuana. 26. Current alcohol use disorder based on the opinion of the Investigator, and/or a positive test for drugs of abuse. 27. Subjects with a history of severe milk protein allergy or known intolerance to lactose. 28. QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) of \> 500 msec. 29. Have any other condition or reason that, in the opinion of the Investigator or in the opinion of the Sponsor's Medical Monitor (MM) (or designee) in consultation with the Investigator, would prohibit the subject from participating in the study.
