Secondary objectives of the trial

• To test the effect of nilotinib on 6 min walk distance (6MWD) relative to baseline and compared to placebo after 24 weeks of therapy
• Establish the safety and tolerability of nilotinib in patients with PAH including effects on QTc and platelet activation
• To test the effect of nilotinib on pulmonary vascular resistance relative to baseline after 24 weeks of therapy
• To test the effect of nilotinib on other hemodynamic parameters, including cardiac output/index (CO/CI), pulmonary artery pressure (PaP), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), systemic pressure (SAP) and resistance (SVR)
• To test the effect of nilotinib on time to clinical worsening (TTCW) compared to placebo
• To assess change in Borg dyspnea score during 6-min walk testing, with nilotinib as compared to placebo
