A Dose-Ranging Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Bardoxolone Methyl in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension

This study assesses the safety and efficacy of bardoxolone methyl relative to placebo in
patients with pulmonary hypertension to determine the recommended dose range, evaluate the
change from baseline in 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) and determine the effect of Bardoxolone
methyl in pulmonary hypertension associated with connective tissue disease, interstitial lung
disease, and idiopathic etiologies, including subsets of patients with WHO Group III or WHO
Group V PH following 16 weeks of study participation.

The molecular and pharmacological effects of bardoxolone methyl are broad through its
induction of Nrf2 and suppression of NF-κB. Bardoxolone methyl may therefore address multiple
facets of the pathophysiology of PH because it suppresses activation of proinflammatory
mediators, enhances endothelial NO bioavailability, improves metabolic dysfunction,
suppresses vascular proliferation, and prevents maladaptive remodeling. Furthermore, while
existing therapies primarily target only smooth muscle cells, bardoxolone methyl targets
multiple cell types relevant to PH, including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and
macrophages.

This is a two-part study.

Part 1: Part 1 of the study will include a dose-ranging phase and a dose-titration phase.

Part 2 (extension period): All patients from Part 1 who complete the 16-week treatment period
as planned will be eligible to continue directly into the extension period to evaluate the
intermediate and long-term safety and efficacy of bardoxolone methyl.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Adult male and female patients ≥ 18 to ≤ 75 years of age upon study consent;

2. BMI > 18.5 kg/m²

3. Symptomatic pulmonary hypertension WHO class II and III;

- Idiopathic or heritable PAH;

- PAH associated with connective tissue disease;

- PAH associated with simple, congenital systemic-to-pulmonary shunts at least
1 year following shunt repair;

5. Had a diagnostic right heart catheterization performed and documented within 36 months
prior to Day 1 that confirmed a diagnosis of PH

6. If WHO Group I, has been receiving no more than three (3) FDA-approved
disease-specific PAH therapies except for intravenous (iv) prostacyclin/prostacyclin
analogues. PAH therapy must be at a stable dose for at least 90 days prior to Day 1;

7. Has adequate kidney function defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
≥ 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) 4-variable
formula;

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Participation in other interventional clinical studies involving pharmaceutical
products being tested or used in a way different from the approved form or when used
for an unapproved indication within 30 days prior to Day 1;

2. Initiation of an exercise program for cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation within 3 months
(90 days) prior to Day 1 or planned initiation during Part 1 of the study;

3. Stopped receiving any PH chronic therapy within 60 days prior to Day 1;

4. Requirement for receipt of intravenous inotropes within 30 days prior to Day 1;

5. Has uncontrolled systemic hypertension as evidenced by sitting systolic blood pressure
(BP) > 160 mm Hg or sitting diastolic blood pressure > 100 mm Hg during Screening
after a period of rest;

6. Has systolic BP < 90 mm Hg during Screening after a period of rest;

7. WHO Group III or V patients who at rest require supplemental oxygen at a rate of >4
L/min and have peripheral capillary oxygen saturation levels <92%;

8. Has a history of clinically significant left-sided heart disease and/or clinically
significant cardiac disease,including but not limited to any of the following:

1. Congenital or acquired valvular disease if clinically significant apart from
tricuspid valvular insufficiency due to pulmonary hypertension;

2. Pericardial constriction;

3. Restrictive or congestive cardiomyopathy;

4. Left ventricular ejection fraction < 40% per echocardiogram (ECHO) within 60 days
of Day 1;

5. Any current or prior history of symptomatic coronary disease (prior myocardial
infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft
surgery, or anginal chest pain);

9. Acutely decompensated heart failure within 30 days prior to Day 1, as per Investigator
assessment;

10. History of atrial septostomy within 180 days prior to Day 1;

11. History of obstructive sleep apnea that is untreated;

12. Has a history of portal hypertension or chronic liver disease, including hepatitis B
and/or hepatitis C (with evidence of recent infection and/or active virus replication)
defined as mild to severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A-C);

2. Detectable viral load within 90 days prior to Screening;

3. Cluster designation (CD+) T-cell count < 200 mm3 within 90 days prior to
Screening;

4. Changes in antiretroviral regimen within 90 days prior to Screening;

5. Using inhaled pentamidine
