Embase via Elsevier, MEDLINE via Ovid, the medRxiv preprint server, Cochrane Library CENTRAL trials registry, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception through October 31, 2024. The package insert was utilized to obtain drug information and additional data.\n                    <jats:bold>Study Selection and Data Extraction:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Phase II-III clinical trials investigating sotatercept for PAH were included. Articles written in English were extracted while animal studies and phase I clinical trials were excluded.\n                    <jats:bold>Data Synthesis:<\/jats:bold>\n                    In patients with WHO Group 1, functional class II-III PAH, adding sotatercept to background therapy increased 6-minute walk distance in phase II-III trials. Pooled analysis from PULSAR (phase II) and STELLAR (phase III) showed improvements in pulmonary vascular resistance and NT-proBNP. Exploratory data from PULSAR revealed that BMPR2 genetic variant status was not associated with significant differences in treatment effects. SPECTRA (phase IIb) demonstrated improved right ventricular structure and function. Interim analysis from SOTERIA showed that treatment effects persist at 1 year.\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Sotatercept is a viable add-on therapy for patients with PAH Group 1 and functional class II-III. Additional data are needed to assess long-term outcomes among treatment-na\u00efve patients and those with the most severe symptomatology.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/87551225251317957","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,22]],"date-time":"2025-02-22T08:00:52Z","timestamp":1740211252000},"page":"134-143","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Sotatercept: A First-In-Class Activin Signaling Inhibitor for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Aimon C.","family":"Miranda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacotherapeutics and Clinical Research, Taneja College of Pharmacy, University of South Florida Health, Tampa, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0499-675X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cyrille K.","family":"Cornelio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacotherapeutics and Clinical Research, Taneja College of Pharmacy, University of South Florida Health, Tampa, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bao Anh C.","family":"Tran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacotherapeutics and Clinical Research, Taneja College of Pharmacy, University of South Florida Health, Tampa, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4008-4301","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joel","family":"Fernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida Health, Tampa, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/cir.0000000000001209"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dib.2020.106303"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/13993003.01913-2018"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/13993003.00879-2022"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chest.2018.11.030"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/nejmoa1413687"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","volume-title":"Winrevair (Sotatercept-csrk)[package Insert]","author":"Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC","year":"2024","unstructured":"Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.
