This clinical trial will study the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of single doses of MK-8892 in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The primary objective is to estimate the measured peak effect of the highest acutely tolerated (HAT) single oral dose of MK-8892 on pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR).

Peak Percent Change From Baseline in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) at the Highest Acutely Tolerated (HAT) Dose of MK-8892
PVR assessments were performed throughout the right heart catheterization (RHC). Peak PVR reduction was determined to occur if 2 consecutive PVR measurements were at least 20% greater than the nadir PVR measurement.
Time frame: Baseline and up to 5 hours post-dose
