A Phase 2, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation Study in Subjects With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, (PAH, WHO Group 1) and Pulmonary Hypertension Secondary to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, (PH-IPF WHO Group 3) Using Inhaled GeNOsyl.

A Phase 2 open label, dose escalation study to find the minimally and maximum effective dose
(dose beyond which no further effect on PVR is seen) of inhaled nitric oxide generated by
the GeNOsyl® System compared to placebo.

Up to 75 subjects undergoing RHC are planned in this study, and shall include subjects
meeting eligibility criteria classified as WHO Group 1 PAH or WHO Group 3 IPF-PH. Subjects
will receive inhaled nitric oxide from the GeNOsyl® System to characterize the hemodynamic
response and evaluate safety and tolerability.

Dose cohorts of approximately 5, 15, 20, 30, and 80 ppm nitric oxide in air will be studied.
Different dose levels will be achieved by varying the flow rate of the drug substance (80
ppm NO2 in balance air) and changing the delivery device, (cannula or mask). Each subject
will receive two different doses of inhaled nitric oxide separated by a placebo (medical
grade air or supplemental oxygen) washout. Eligible subjects will be assigned to a dosing
cohort in an escalating manner to receive study drug (80 ppm nitric oxide in air.)

INCLUSION CRITERIA:

PAH and PH-IPF

- WHO Functional Class (or equivalent classification) II - IV.

- Subjects using supplemental oxygen must be receiving a stable course of therapy for a
minimum of 14 days prior to study drug administration.

- All subjects' oxygen saturation must be > or = to 88% at time of treatment

- Echocardiogram within 6 months of baseline showing no signs of clinically significant
left sided heart disease

- Females of child-bearing potential with a negative urine pregnancy test, or a
documented surgical sterilization, or is post-menopausal prior to administration of
investigational product. Females of childbearing potential must be practicing
adequate birth control.

PAH (WHO Group 1) ONLY-Inclusion

- Documented diagnosis of WHO Group 1 PAH, (limited to, idiopathic, heritable, drug and
toxin induced, associated with connective tissue disease, portal hypertension,
repaired congenital heart disease, HIV); documented by a previous RHC and
hemodynamics consistent with PAH, WHO Group 1

- Pulmonary Function Testing within 6 months prior to screening/enrollment shows no
evidence of interstitial lung disease (TLC<70%) or obstructive lung disease (FEV1/FVC
ratio <50%)

- Receiving a stable course of approved PAH oral mono therapies for a minimum of 14
days prior to treatment period

- Must be 18-80 year of age

PH-IPF (WHO Group 3) ONLY-Inclusion

- Documented diagnosis of probable or definite IPF using ATS/ERS criteria

- Previous transbronchial biopsy, if performed, shows no features to support a
definitive alternative diagnosis

- Previous bronchoalveolar lavage, if performed, shows no features that provides an
alternative diagnosis

- FVC > or = 40% within 6 months of baseline visit

- Diagnosis of PH based on hemodynamic requirements

- Age 40-85.

- Diagnosis of IPF > or = 3 months prior to study drug administration

- Diagnosis of PH based on the following hemodynamic criteria (PAPm > or = 25 mmHg (at
rest) / PCWP or LVED < or =15 mmHg and / PVR >3 Wood Units)

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

PAH and PH-IPF

- Have any other disease associated with pulmonary hypertension (i.e. Group II, IV or
V).

- Documented uncontrolled systemic hypertension.

- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40%.

- Have chronic kidney disease stage IV or worse, or requires dialysis.

- Be receiving an investigational drug, have in place an investigational device, or
have participated in an investigational drug study within past 30 days.

- Have had an atrial septostomy.

- Have anemia or any other ongoing condition that would interfere with the
interpretation of study assessments.

- Have any serious or life-threatening disease other than conditions associated with
PAH or PH-IPF (e.g. malignancy requiring aggressive chemotherapy, renal dialysis,
etc.)

- Significant, ongoing alcohol or drug abuse, or unstable psychiatric status.

- Receiving inhaled or parenteral prostacyclins or a non-approved combination of
approved oral PAH therapy.

- Pregnant or lactating subjects

PAH (WHO Group 1) ONLY-Exclusion

- Have had any changes to chronic therapy (including but not limited to oxygen, a
different category of vasodilator, a diuretic, digoxin) for PAH added within 14 days
of study drug administration. Anticoagulants are allowed to be discontinued per
institutional standard of care.

- History of untreated sleep apnea within three months of study drug administration.

- History of hemodynamically significant left-sided heart disease or evidence of
left-sided heart disease.

PH-IPF (WHO Group 3) ONLY-Exclusion

- Diagnosis of PH primarily due to etiology other than IPF.

- FEV/FVC ratio < 60% documented within 6 months of baseline visit.

- Hospitalization for acute exacerbation of IPF within 30 days of baseline visit.

- Recent active pulmonary or upper respiratory tract infection.

- Receiving any approved PAH therapy within 30 days of study drug administration.
