This Study evaluates the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of different zamicastat doses in Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients to find the most promising therapeutic dosage range for the treatment of PAH disease
This is an open-label, multi-centre study in patients with PAH who are currently on stable treatment with at least one PAH medication. It is planned to evaluate the PK profile (24 hour profile and trough levels) and the safety, tolerability and efficacy of four different zamicastat doses. Each patient will start treatment with the lowest dose (50 mg zamicastat once daily) and the dose will be up-titrated to the individual highest tolerated dose (HTD) i.e. up to 200 mg zamicastat once daily. A data safety monitoring board (DSMB) will periodically review the safety data and will issue a recommendation if the doses can be used as planned. This study will consist of: * A screening period, 5 to 12 days: visit V1 * Up to four dose finding periods, 14 days each: * Dose A (50 mg zamicastat once daily): visits A1, A2 and A3 * Dose B (100 mg zamicastat once daily): visits B2 and B3 * Dose C (150 mg zamicastat once daily): visits C2 and C3 * Dose D (200 mg zamicastat once daily): visits D2 and D3 * Maintenance period, 42 days: maintenance period visit (MPV)1, MPV2 and MPV3 * Follow-up (FU) period, 14 to 28 days: visits FU (down-titration) and FU

Area Under the Curve 0-24h (AUC0-24h) (ng.h/mL) - 50 mg
This PK parameters (24-hour profile) for zamicastat and its metabolites will be derived after a single dose of 50 mg zamicastat

Minimum Plasma Concentration at the End of the Dosing Interval (Cmin,SS) (ng/mL/mg) - HTD
This PK parameter (24-hour profile) for zamicastat and its metabolites will be derived at steady-state at the individual highest tolerated dose (HTD). Following multiple administrations of the HTD of zamicastat to PAH patients at MPV3, PK concentrations and parameter summaries for only the 50 mg, 100 mg and 200 mg dose levels are presented and discussed, as the only subject receiving the 150 mg HTD level had a major protocol deviation documented, impacting the reliability of their PK data.
Time frame: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after IMP intake
