Procedures 
Subjects will be assessed during Screening and Baseline to 
determine eligibility for the study.  Once eligible, 
5 Treatment Phase visits to the clinic will be required at 
Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 15, and Week 16 (final 
study visit).  An Early Termination (ET) Visit will be 
conducted for subjects who end treatment prior to Week 16; 
all assessments planned for the final Week 16 Visit will be 
conducted during the ET Visit, as applicable.  Subjects will 
also be contacted at least weekly by telephone or email to 
assess tolerance to study drug, AEs, and changes to 
concomitant medications. 
Key Assessments:  
 Pregnancy test: Females of childbearing potential 
will undergo a urine pregnancy test at Screening 
followed by urine pregnancy tests at Baseline and 
every subsequent scheduled study visit or ET. 
 Blood for NT-proBNP and clinical labs will be 
obtained at Baseline, Week 8, and Week 16 or ET.  
 A peak 6-minute walk test (6MWT) will be 
conducted at Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, 
and Week 16 or ET.   
 A trough 6MWT will be performed at Week 15 (at 
least 24 hours prior to the Week 16 6MWT).   
 Pulse oximetry will be performed immediately prior 
to, during, and immediately after each 6MWT. 
 Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) will be conducted 
at Baseline, Week 8, and Week 16 or ET. 
 SGRQ will be completed at Baseline and Week 16 
or ET. 
 An optional blood sample will be collected for 
whole genome sequencing at Baseline. 
 An optional blood sample will be collected for the 
analysis of biomarkers (specific targets to be 
determined) at Baseline and Week 16 or ET. 
 An ECG will be conducted at Baseline and Week 16 
or ET. 
 Hospitalizations due to cardiopulmonary indications 
and exacerbations of underlying lung disease will be 
evaluated from the time of informed consent until 
study discontinuation.

 Time to clinical worsening will be evaluated from 
the time of randomization until study 
discontinuation.   
Statistical Considerations Using an allocation ratio of 1:1 between inhaled treprostinil 
and placebo, a sample size of approximately 266 subjects 
(133 per treatment) would provide at least 90% power at a 
significance level of 0.05 (2-sided hypothesis) to detect a 
30 meter between-treatment difference in the change from 
Baseline to Week 16 in 6MWD measured at peak exposure 
assuming a standard deviation of 75 meters.  The total 
sample size will be approximately 314 subjects to account 
for a discontinuation rate of approximately 15%.   
The primary efficacy endpoint is the change in 6MWD 
measured at peak exposure from Baseline to Week 16.  The 
clinical hypothesis is that inhaled treprostinil will improve 
exercise capacity after 16 weeks of therapy as compared 
with placebo when administered to subjects with PH 
associated with ILD including CPFE.  Non-parametric 
analysis of covariance will be used to estimate the treatment 
effect.  The magnitude of treatment effect will be estimated 
with the Hodges-Lehmann median difference between 
2 treatment groups.  For subjects who discontinue from the 
study early, the last observation carried forward method 
will be used to impute the 6MWD at Week 16.

BACKGROUNDANDRATIONALE
1.1 DEFINITIONOFCLINICALPROBLEM
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined as an elevation in pulmonary arterial pressure and 
pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR).  The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies PH 
due to lung diseases and/or hypoxemia as WHO Group 3 PH (Simonneau 2009).  This 
classification includes PH due to interstitial lung disease (ILD) including combined 
pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE).   
Interstitial lung disease encompasses a heterogeneous group of parenchymal lung diseases 
that are characterized by significant scarring or fibrosis of the bronchioles and alveolar sacs 
within the lungs (Travis 2013, Seeger 2013).  Increased fibrotic tissue in ILD prevents 
oxygenation and free gas exchange between the pulmonary capillaries and alveolar sacs.  The 
symptomatology of ILD is non-specific, and covers a wide range of symptoms, whose 
severity can vary substantially among patients.  The incidence of PH in ILD has been reported 
in up to 86% of patients and is associated with a poorer prognosis and decreased quality of 
life (QOL) (Nathan 2008, Nathan 2013).   
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema is characterized by emphysema, fibrosis, and 
abnormalities of gas exchange (Jankowich 2012).  Up to 50% of CPFE patients have been 
reported to develop PH with increased PVR associated with a decreased survival 
(Cottin 2010, Seeger 2013). 
There are no approved treatments for PH in patients with ILD or CPFE; however, the results 
of some approved therapies for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have stimulated 
further investigation in these indications (Seeger 2013, Saggar 2014, Agarwal 2015, Roccia 
2013).

treprostinil sodium), or oral (as treprostinil diolamine) routes of administration. 
Prostacyclin is known to lower pulmonary artery pressure, increase cardiac output without 
affecting the heart rate (HR), improve systemic oxygen transport and possibly reverse 
pulmonary arterial remodeling.  There is increasing evidence that the ability to block the 
proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, along with vasodilation, may 
contribute to the therapeutic effects of prostacyclin in the treatment of PAH.  Treprostinil acts 
by triggering direct vasodilation of the pulmonary and systemic arterial vascular beds and 
inhibition of platelet aggregation.  In vitro, treprostinil induced concentration dependent 
relaxation of rabbit isolated pre-contracted mesenteric arteries and inhibited adenosine 
diphosphate induced platelet aggregation in human and rat platelet rich plasma.  In animals, 
the vasodilatory effects of treprostinil reduce right and left ventricular afterload, thereby 
increasing cardiac output and stroke volume.  The mechanism of action of treprostinil is 
therefore likely to be multifactorial. 
Treprostinil for inhalation (Tyvaso®) is approved in the United States, Argentina, and Israel 
for the treatment of PAH (WHO Group 1) in patients with New York Heart Association 
(NYHA) Functional Classification III symptoms, to increase exercise ability.  
1.2.2 
GeneralToxicology
A well-defined clinical safety profile exists for treprostinil sodium; acute toxicity studies, 
repeat-dose toxicity studies, reproductive toxicity studies, and genotoxicity studies have been 
performed in both rats and dogs and support the chronic administration to patients 
(Remodulin
® Package Insert 2014). 
The toxicokinetic profile of treprostinil was also evaluated in acute and repeat dose toxicity 
studies of up to 13 weeks in duration in rodents and dogs which supported the chronic 
administration of inhaled treprostinil to patients.  In addition, a 2-year rat carcinogenicity 
study was performed with treprostinil inhalation at target doses up to 5.26, 10.6, and 
34.1 mcg/kg/day which found no evidence for carcinogenic potential associated with inhaled 
treprostinil in rats at systemic exposure levels up to 35 times the clinical exposure at the target

full description of nonclinical data. 
1.2.3 
ClinicalExperience
A series of acute and chronic investigator-initiated clinical studies were conducted with 
inhaled treprostinil to optimize the formulation for inhalation, determine dose response, 
tolerability, and safety and also to evaluate safety and tolerability when combined with other 
PAH therapies (Channick 2006, Voswinckel 2006).  In the acute dosing studies, 
administration of inhaled treprostinil resulted in pulmonary vasodilation at relatively low 
doses.  In the chronic studies, administration of inhaled treprostinil resulted in sustained 
improvement of exercise capacity. 
A randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, Phase III study (TRIUMPH-I) was 
conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of inhaled treprostinil in combination with 
approved PAH therapies.  Two hundred and thirty-five subjects who were clinically stable on 
an approved background oral PAH therapy (bosentan or sildenafil) were randomly allocated 
to receive either placebo or inhaled treprostinil for 12 weeks.  The primary efficacy endpoint 
was change in exercise capacity at Week 12 as measured by 6-minute walk distance (6MWD).  
At Week 12, subjects receiving inhaled treprostinil had a median improvement of 
+21.6 meters in 6MWD and subjects in the placebo group had a median improvement of 
+3.0 meters.  The Hodges-Lehmann placebo-corrected median change from baseline in peak 
6MWD was +20.0 meters (p=0.00044).  The durability of this result was supported by 
secondary measures related to the trough 6MWD, which was measured at least 4 hours after 
the last dose of inhaled treprostinil.  At Week 12, trough 6MWD showed a placebo-corrected 
median treatment effect of 13.7 meters (p=0.0066).  The most commonly reported adverse 
events (AEs) in the inhaled treprostinil group were cough (54%), headache (41%), and nausea 
(19%).  There were no remarkable treatment-related changes in vital signs, physical 
examination (PE) findings, chest x-rays, pulmonary function tests (PFTs), or clinical 
laboratory parameters (McLaughlin 2010). 
An open-label, extension study of the TRIUMPH-I study to evaluate the use of long-term 
inhaled treprostinil therapy was also conducted (TRIUMPH-OL).  Subjects received 1 to

12 breaths (6 to 72 mcg) 4 times daily to achieve daily doses of 24 to 288 mcg.  The longest 
duration of inhaled treprostinil exposure in the open-label study was 5.4 years and the mean 
duration 2.3 years.  There were observed improvements in median 6MWD at 6, 12, 18, and 
24 months of 28, 31, 32, and 18 meters, respectively.  These data support the durability of 
improvement in 6MWD obtained with inhaled treprostinil as demonstrated during the double-
blind phase of the study.  Therapeutic benefit was also noted with improvements in the Borg 
dyspnea score, NYHA Functional Classification, and QOL.  Survival was robust with 1 and 
2 year Kaplan-Meier survival estimates of 97% and 91%, respectively, for subjects that 
remained in the study.  The most frequently reported AEs during the open-label study were 
cough (39%), headache (31%), upper respiratory tract infection (22%), and nausea (22%).  
There were no clinically significant changes in clinical chemistry or hematology parameters.  
Unique findings that related to the inhaled route of administration, in addition to cough, were 
throat pain and throat irritation, occurring in 12% and 10% of subjects, respectively.  These 
events were usually of mild or moderate severity and transient in duration.  In a few subjects, 
these specific AEs were more pronounced as 6 subjects (3%) discontinued inhaled treprostinil 
due to cough, including 1 subject (<1%) with dry throat (Benza 2011). 
1.3 RATIONALEFORDEVELOPMENTOFSTUDYDRUGIN
DISEASE/CONDITION
Inhaled treprostinil has shown clinical improvements in exercise capacity after 12 weeks of 
therapy in patients with WHO Group 1 PH (McLaughlin 2010).  Inhaled treprostinil is 
expected to directly target the more ventilated portion of the lungs in patients with WHO 
Group 3 PH minimizing the risk of ventilation perfusion mismatch and allowing for 
improvements in exercise capacity (Seeger 2013).   
The use of inhaled prostacyclin therapy in patients with WHO Group 3 PH has been recently 
evaluated.  In particular, Wang and colleagues (Wang 2015) reported data on 67 chronic 
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with PH and found no change in arterial 
blood gases when a single dose of iloprost was administered during right heart catheterization 
(RHC).  In addition, Bajwa and colleagues recently completed a prospective 16-Week study 
in 9 COPD subjects with PH which reported no notable changes in arterial blood gases over 
the 16-Week treatment period (Bajwa 2016).  Finally, Agarwal and colleagues (Agarwal

2015) recently presented data on 35 patients with WHO Group 3 PH who received treatment 
with inhaled treprostinil for 6 months.  This retrospective review reported a mean increase 
from baseline in 6MWD of 61 meters with obstructive and restrictive patients reporting mean 
increases of 71 meters and 50 meters, respectively.  Notably, this study also found that 
inhaled treprostinil was well tolerated with cough being the most commonly reported AE.  
Data from these recently completed pilot studies suggest that inhaled treprostinil can be safely 
administered in patients with WHO Group 3 PH.  
1.4 CLINICALHYPOTHESIS

EXPERIMENTALPLAN
3.1 STUDYDESIGN
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, 16-week, parallel 
group study.  Subject eligibility will be based on inclusion and exclusion criteria described in 
Section 4.  Approximately 314 eligible subjects will be randomized to study treatment in a 
1:1 ratio.  Subjects will be stratified based on Baseline 6MWD (≤ 350 meters and 
> 350 meters).  Subjects will be treated with either inhaled treprostinil (6 mcg/breath) or 
placebo.

The study will consist of the following phases: 
Screening Phase: Prospective subjects will undergo a screening evaluation within 30 days 
prior to the Baseline Visit (first dose of study drug).  During this phase, eligible 
subjects will sign the informed consent form (ICF) and undergo screening assessments 
as described in Sections 7.1 and 7.3.  The Screening and Baseline assessments may be 
combined if all entry criteria are satisfied within 48 hours prior to the first dose of 
study drug.  Baseline PFTs and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) used to confirm eligibility 
criteria must be performed prior to randomization. 
Baseline Visit: The Baseline assessments may be conducted over a 48-hour period prior 
to the first dose of study drug to allow for scheduling of all activities.  Eligible 
subjects will undergo Baseline assessments (Sections 7.2 and 7.3), be assigned to a 
treatment group based on the randomization schedule, and receive the first dose of 
study drug (Day 1 is defined as the day the first dose of study drug is given).  The 
Screening and Baseline assessments may be combined if all entry criteria are satisfied 
within 48 hours prior to the first dose of study drug.  Baseline PFTs and 6MWT used 
to confirm eligibility criteria must be performed prior to randomization. 
Treatment Phase: The Treatment Phase consists of 5 study visits to the clinic at Week 4, 
Week 8, Week 12, Week 15, and Week 16 (final study visit; at least 24 hours after the 
Week 15 Visit).  Subjects will also be contacted at least weekly by telephone or email 
to assess subject tolerance to study drug, AEs, and changes to concomitant 
medications.   
A schedule of visits and assessments is presented in Section 3.2.

k   Pulse oximetry will be performed immediately prior to, during, and immediately following each 6MWT.  Pulse oximetry will include the measurement of SpO
2 and 
HR.  The SpO2 and HR obtained immediately prior to and immediately following completion of the 6MWT will be recorded in the eCRF.  In addition, the lowest 
recorded SpO
2 obtained during each 6MWT will be recorded in the eCRF. 
l   PFTs will include the evaluation of FEV1, FVC, TLC, and DLCO.  Baseline PFTs must be performed prior to randomization.  PFTs should be performed after 
recovering from the Baseline, Week 8, and Week 16 or ET 6MWTs. 
m   At least weekly telephone contact is required throughout the study (may be replaced by a face-to-face interaction on the weeks where study visits occur and the 
information can be obtained during the visit).  Subjects may be contacted via email in lieu of a telephone call.  A copy of the emails and/or telephone contact sheets 
must be documented in the subject’s source documentation.  Email should not replace direct follow-up by phone or in clinic for clinically significant AEs or other 
emergent issues.
 
n   All AEs will be documented from the time of informed consent until the time screen failure is documented, or until the subject is either discontinued from the study or 
all Week 16 study assessments have been completed and should be followed until either resolution (or return to normal or baseline values), until they are judged by the 
Investigator to no longer be clinically significant, or for at least 30 days if the AE extends beyond the final study visit (Week 16). 
o   Hospitalizations due to cardiopulmonary indications must be recorded in the eCRF from the time of informed consent until study termination.  Adverse events resulting 
in hospitalizations, regardless of cause or duration, should also be recorded as SAEs per Appendix 15.2.
 
p   Exacerbations of underlying lung disease; defined as an acute, clinically significant, respiratory deterioration characterized by evidence of new widespread alveolar 
abnormality (see Section 3.3.2.10).  Exacerbations will also be recorded as AEs or SAEs per Appendix 15.2.   
q   Time to clinical worsening will be measured from the time of randomization until 1 of the following criteria are met: hospitalization due to a cardiopulmonary 
indication; decrease in 6MWD > 15% from Baseline directly related to the disease under study, at 2 consecutive visits and at least 24 hours apart; death (all causes); or 
lung transplantation. 
r   Once all entry criteria have been met and the randomized treatment assignment confirmed, the first dose of study drug (3 breaths; 18 mcg) will be inhaled in the clinic, 
followed by at least a 1 hour observation period (Defined as Day 1). 
s   Subjects who permanently discontinue study drug during the 16-week Treatment Phase are encouraged to undergo premature termination assessments prior to 
discontinuing study drug and are required complete all remaining scheduled study visits through Week 16 (excluding the Week 15 Visit) to be eligible for entry into the 
open-label study.   
t   The premature termination of study drug visit should be conducted prior to study drug discontinuation or as close as possible to the last dose of study drug.

Efficacy
3.3.1.1 6-Minute WalkTest
The 6MWT is a validated and reliable measure of exercise capacity in patients with chronic 
respiratory diseases (Holland 2014).  This study will utilize an unencouraged 6MWT to 
minimize potential bias associated with encouragement.  All 6MWTs will be conducted by 
qualified, trained personnel in a designated 6MWT area which meets the requirements as 
described in Appendix 15.1.  Prior to the start of each 6MWT the subject must rest (seated) 
for at least 10 minutes.  This 6MWT protocol applies to the practice (if applicable), Baseline, 
and treatment 6MWTs.  Subjects receiving supplemental oxygen during the Baseline 6MWT 
must continue to receive the same flow rate at all subsequent 6MWT assessments.  Pulmonary 
rehabilitation may not be introduced to a subject’s treatment regimen between randomization 
and Week 16 or until the permanent discontinuation of study drug.  Pulse oximetry is to be 
performed immediately prior to, during, and immediately following each scheduled 6MWT as 
outlined in Section 3.3.2.6.1. 
3.3.1.1.1 
Practice 6-Minute Walk Test 
All subjects must have a documented 6MWT conducted at the study site on the course 
intended for use during the study.  Subjects who have not previously performed the 6MWT at 
the study site on the course intended for use during the study, must perform a practice 6MWT 
at the study site at least 1 day prior to the Baseline Visit. 
3.3.1.1.2 
Baseline 6-Minute Walk Test 
The Baseline 6MWT must be performed prior to randomization.  Pulse oximetry is to be 
performed immediately prior to, during, and immediately following each scheduled 6MWT as 
outlined in Section 3.3.2.6.1.  
Note:  The Baseline 6MWT (not the practice 6MWT) will determine the subject’s eligibility 
to participate in the study (6MWD ≥ 100 meters per inclusion criteria).

3.3.1.1.3 
Treatment 6-Minute Walk Tests 
3.3.1.1.3.1 Peak 6-Minute Walk Tests 
Peak 6MWTs will be conducted at Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16 or Early Termination (ET).  The 
6MWT must be conducted between 10 to 60 minutes after the most recent dose of study drug.  
If subjects are receiving supplemental oxygen during the Baseline 6MWT, they must continue 
to receive the same flow rate at all subsequent 6MWT assessments.  The Week 16 peak 
6MWT should occur at least 24 hours after the Week 15 Visit.  Refer to Appendix 15.1 for 
guidelines regarding the 6MWT assessment.  Pulse oximetry is to be performed immediately 
prior to, during, and immediately following each scheduled 6MWT as outlined in Section 
3.3.2.6.1. 
3.3.1.1.3.2 Trough 6-Minute Walk Test 
A trough 6MWT will be performed during the Week 15 Visit.  The trough 6MWT must be 
performed at least 4 hours after the most recent dose of study drug and at least 24 hours prior 
to the Week 16 6MWT.  If subjects are receiving supplemental oxygen during the Baseline 
6MWT, they must continue to receive the same flow rate at all subsequent 6MWT 
assessments.  Refer to Appendix 15.1 for guidelines regarding the 6MWT assessment.  Pulse 
oximetry is to be performed immediately prior to, during, and immediately following each 
scheduled 6MWT as outlined in Section 3.3.2.6.1. 
Subjects who discontinue study drug prematurely prior to the Week 15 Visit do not need to 
return to the clinic for the Week 15 Visit to be eligible for participation in the open-label 
extension study (Section 7.8). 
3.3.1.2 St. George’s RespiratoryQuestionnaire
The SGRQ will be conducted at Baseline (prior to study drug) or as part of the Screening 
Visit assessment if the Screening and Baseline Visits are combined and at Week 16 (or ET for 
those subjects discontinuing study drug/study prematurely).  The SGRQ should be completed 
as the first assessment during these visits (after informed consent is obtained) before the 
subject completes any of the other scheduled visit assessments.  A copy of the SGRQ can be 
found in Appendix 15.3.

3.3.1.3 N-terminalPro-brainNatriureticPeptide
Plasma NT-proBNP concentration is a useful biomarker associated with changes in right heart 
morphology and function (Fijalkowska 2006).  NT-proBNP sample collection will occur at 
Baseline (or as part of the Screening Visit assessment if the Screening and Baseline Visits are 
combined) prior to starting study drug, Week 8, and Week 16 or ET.  Blood for NT-proBNP 
assessment must be drawn prior to conducting the 6MWT. 
3.3.1.4 TimetoClinical Worsening
Time to clinical worsening will be evaluated as an exploratory endpoint from the time of 
randomization until 1 of the following criteria are met: 
a. Hospitalization due to a cardiopulmonary indication 
b. Decrease in 6MWD > 15% from Baseline directly related to disease under study, at 
2 consecutive visits and at least 24 hours apart 
c. Death (all causes) 
d. Lung transplantation 
Because there are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved therapies for the 
treatment of WHO Group 3 PH, subjects experiencing clinical worsening may remain on 
study therapy for the duration of the study (or until criteria for study termination are met per 
Section 8.1 of the protocol).  However, if a subject is removed from study therapy due to 
clinical worsening, the subject must return to the clinic for regularly scheduled study visits 
(excluding the Week 15 Visit) to be eligible for the open-label extension study (Section 7.8).  
Subjects experiencing death or lung transplantation will be discontinued from the study per 
Section 8.1 of the protocol. 
3.3.1.5 ChangeinDistanceSaturationProduct
Change in DSP is the product of distance walked and lowest SpO
2 recorded during the 
6MWT.  This assessment has been shown to be predictive of mortality in patients with 
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and as such will be evaluated as an exploratory endpoint in this 
study (Lettieri 2006).  Change from Baseline to Week 16 or ET in DSP will be calculated.

3.3.1.6 OptionalBiomarker
For subjects consenting to the optional biomarker sample, blood will be collected for the 
evaluation of biomarkers (specific targets to be determined) at Baseline and at Week 16 or 
ET.  
3.3.1.7 Optional WholeGenomeSequencing
For subjects consenting to whole genome sequence analysis, a blood sample will be collected 
at Baseline.  These samples will be shipped to the central laboratory for processing and 
storage prior to analysis.  Whole genome sequences will be analyzed for genetic makers that 
may be associated with clinical response and tolerability.      
3.3.2 
Safety
During this study, treatment emergent changes in PE findings, vital signs, clinical laboratory 
parameters, ECG parameters, PFTs, oxygenation, and the development of AEs after treatment 
will be the primary assessments of safety.  Hospitalizations due to cardiopulmonary 
indications will also be recorded from the time of informed consent until study termination (or 
ET for those subjects discontinuing the study prematurely).  Exacerbations of underlying lung 
disease will also be recorded from the time of informed consent until study termination.   
3.3.2.1 MedicalHistoryandPhysicalExaminations
A complete medical history, demographics, PH history, and PE will be conducted during 
Screening.  If any changes to the medical history occur between the Screening and Baseline 
Visit, those should be recorded.  Significant past or present illnesses, current prescription or 
nonprescription medications (including vitamins and herbal products), and history of allergies 
or idiosyncratic responses to drugs should be recorded.  Any significant changes to the 
subject’s medical condition and PE must be documented throughout the course of the study.  
A complete PE will also be conducted by appropriate study personnel (as documented on the 
Delegation of Authority Log) at the Week 16 or ET Visit.  Any clinically significant changes 
from Baseline noted during the Week 16 or ET PE should be reported as AEs. 
3.3.2.2 VitalSigns
Vital signs will be assessed at Screening, Baseline, and each subsequent study visit or ET.  
Vital signs measured will include blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), HR, respiratory rate

(RR), temperature, and weight.  Height will be assessed at Screening only.  Vital signs must 
be assessed following at least 5 minutes of rest (sitting) to ensure accurate measurement.  No 
other measurements or procedures should be performed during this 5-minute period.  When 
possible, vital signs should be collected prior to the 6MWT.  If vital signs cannot be obtained 
prior to the 6MWT, they should be obtained after recovery of the 6MWT.  Vital signs should 
also be assessed in the case of abnormal clinical signs and symptoms. 
3.3.2.3 12-LeadElectrocardiogram
A 12-lead ECG will be recorded after at least 5 minutes of rest in the semi-recumbent position 
at Baseline (prior to study drug) and repeated at the Week 16 or ET Visit.  Recordings should 
include lead II as a rhythm strip and contain at least 5 QRS complexes.  ECG parameters to be 
collected include rhythm, HR, PR interval, QT interval, QRS duration, and any clinically 
significant abnormalities. 
3.3.2.4 ClinicalLaboratoryAssessments
The results of all clinical laboratory tests conducted at Screening and Baseline must be 
assessed by the Investigator to determine each subject’s eligibility to participate in the study 
prior to starting study drug.  Screening and Baseline clinical laboratory assessments can be 
combined into a single blood draw if all eligibility criteria are met within 48 hours prior to the 
first dose of study drug at Baseline.  Central laboratory data are ultimately used to qualify 
subjects for the study.  However, for subjects who are well known to the Investigator and who 
are clinically stable, the Investigator may confirm eligibility using local laboratory values so 
as not to delay randomization while waiting for central laboratory results if the Screening and 
Baseline Visits are combined.  
Clinical laboratory results outside the normal reference range must be assessed for clinical 
significance by the Investigator.  Clinically significant refers to a laboratory value that is 
unusual with respect to the subject’s medical history or current health status.   
Clinically significant abnormal laboratory test values will be reported as AEs and treated 
and/or followed-up until the symptoms or values return to normal or acceptable levels, as 
judged by the Investigator.  Where appropriate, medical tests and examinations will be 
performed to assess and document resolution.

Pregnancy Testing   
Females of childbearing potential will undergo a urine pregnancy test at Screening followed 
by urine pregnancy tests at Baseline and each subsequent study visit (or Baseline Visit if the 
Screening and Baseline Visits are combined) or ET.  A positive pregnancy test will exclude 
the subject from further participation in the study.  Pregnant subjects who are discontinued 
from the study will be transitioned to an alternate therapy at the discretion of the Investigator. 
3.3.2.5 PulmonaryFunctionTests
Pulmonary Function Tests will be assessed at Baseline and repeated at Week 8 and Week 16 
or ET.  Baseline PFTs are to be conducted prior to randomization and after recovery from the 
6MWT.  The Week 8 and Week 16 or ET PFTs should be conducted after recovery from the 
6MWT.  If the PFTs are done both prior to and after a bronchodilator, only the pre-
bronchodilator values will be recorded.

3.3.2.6 Oxygenation
3.3.2.6.1 
Pulse Oximetry 
Pulse oximetry will be assessed immediately prior to, throughout the conduct of, and 
immediately after each scheduled 6MWT assessment at Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, 
Week 15, and Week 16 or ET.  Pulse oximetry will also be performed at Screening during the 
practice 6MWT assessment as applicable.  Pulse oximetry will include the collection of SpO2 
and HR.  The SpO
2 and HR obtained immediately prior to and immediately following 
completion of the 6MWT will be recorded in the electronic case report form (eCRF).  In 
addition, the lowest recorded SpO
2 obtained during each 6MWT will be recorded in the 
eCRF. 
When possible, pulse oximetry should be recorded using the provided pulse oximeter 
(Nonin 3150).  In the event the provided pulse oximeter cannot be used (ie, subject has known 
issues with obtaining accurate readings from a finger probe, etc) an alternative device may be 
used with prior Sponsor approval so long as the same device is used for all planned 6MWT.   
3.3.2.6.2 
Supplemental Oxygen Requirement 
The amount of supplemental oxygen (L/min) required at rest will be assessed at Baseline and 
at regularly scheduled visits or ET.  The amount of supplemental oxygen required at the 
6MWT assessment will also be recorded for each 6MWT assessment. 
3.3.2.7 AdverseEvents
Adverse events will be recorded throughout the course of the study from the time that each 
subject signs the ICF until the time screen failure is documented, or until the subject is either 
discontinued from the study or all Week 16 study assessments have been completed.  Each 
subject will be questioned for AEs at each scheduled study visit and during required 
telephone/email contacts.  Subjects will also be instructed to spontaneously report all AEs 
throughout the study.  
All AEs should be followed until either resolution (or return to normal or baseline values), 
until they are judged by the Investigator to no longer be clinically significant, or for at least 
30 days if the AE extends beyond the final study visit.  All AEs meeting the criteria for 
serious (ie, serious adverse events [SAEs]) should be followed until resolution, death, or the

subject is lost to follow-up even if they are ongoing more than 30 days after completion of the 
final study visit (Week 16 or ET).  All AEs/SAEs that occur while the subject is in study will 
be recorded as instructed in this protocol. 
Sections 9 and 15.2 provide the guidelines and definitions for recording AEs. 
3.3.2.8 Concomitant Medications
All concomitant medications taken during the conduct of the study, including those taken for 
AEs or other medical events, should be recorded in the subject’s source documents and 
captured in the eCRF as required. 
3.3.2.9 HospitalizationduetoCardiopulmonaryIndications
Hospitalizations due to cardiopulmonary indications must be recorded in the eCRF from the 
time of informed consent until study termination.  Adverse events resulting in 
hospitalizations, regardless of cause or duration should also be recorded as SAEs per 
Appendix 15.2.  Please note that, when possible, study medication should be continued during 
hospitalizations.   
3.3.2.10 ExacerbationsofUnderlyingLungDisease
An exacerbation of underlying lung disease is defined as an acute, clinically significant, 
respiratory deterioration characterized by evidence of new widespread alveolar abnormality 
(Collard 2016).  As adapted from the publication by Collard and colleagues (Collard 2016), 
the following diagnostic criteria may be used to help support a diagnosis of acute 
exacerbation: 
1. Previous or concurrent diagnosis of ILD including CPFE 
2. Acute worsening or development of dyspnea typically of less than 1 month duration 
3. Computed topography (CT) with new bilateral ground-glass opacity and/or 
consolidation superimposed on a background pattern consistent with usual interstitial 
pneumonia pattern 
4. Deterioration not fully explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload 
For the purposes of this protocol, events that are clinically considered to meet the definition of 
acute exacerbation but fail to meet all 4 diagnostic criteria due to missing CT data should still 
be considered an exacerbation for reporting purposes.

Page34 
Exacerbations of underlying lung disease should be recorded throughout the duration of the 
study from the time of informed consent until study termination.  Exacerbations of underlying 
lung disease will also be reported as AEs or SAEs per Appendix 15.2.   
3.3.2.11 WeeklyTelephone/EmailContact
Weekly telephone/email contact is required throughout the 16-week study to instruct the 
subject to titrate their dose of study drug and to assess for AEs and concomitant medications.  
Weekly telephone/email contact may be replaced by a face-to-face interaction on the weeks 
where study visits occur and the information can be obtained during the visit).  The subject 
may be contacted via email in lieu of a telephone call; however, email should not replace 
direct follow-up by telephone or in clinic for clinically significant AEs or other emergent 
issues.  All telephone or email contacts (ie, any dosing instructions, AEs reported and/or 
medication changes) with the subject must be noted in the source documentation. 
3.4 NUMBEROFSUBJECTS
Using an allocation ratio of 1:1 between inhaled treprostinil and placebo, a sample size of 
approximately 266 subjects (133 per treatment) would provide at least 90% power at a 
significance level of 0.05 (2-sided hypothesis) to detect a 30 meter between-treatment 
difference in the change from Baseline to Week 16 in 6MWD assuming a standard deviation 
of 75 meters.  The total sample size will be approximately 314 subjects to account for a 
discontinuation rate of approximately 15%.   
3.5 NUMBEROFCENTERS
This study is multicenter with approximately 120 participating study centers. 
3.6 ESTIMATEDSTUDYDURATION
From Screening until study completion, expected duration of study participation is 
approximately 20 weeks (includes a 4-week Screening period and 16-week Treatment Phase). 
4 
SUBJECTELIGIBILITY
Inclusion and exclusion criteria are to be assessed during the Screening period and 
reconfirmed at the Baseline Visit prior to the first dose of study drug.  Study related 
procedures must be conducted during the Screening period after obtaining informed consent 
to determine subject eligibility for the study.

SUBJECTENROLLMENT
5.1 TREATMENTASSIGNMENT
Subjects will be randomized (1:1) to receive treatment with inhaled treprostinil (6 mcg/breath) 
or placebo.   
5.2 RANDOMIZATION
Subjects will be randomized (1:1) to receive treatment with inhaled treprostinil (6 mcg/breath) 
or placebo.  An IXRS will be utilized for the central randomization procedure.  Sites will 
enter values of the qualifying 6MWT and the date the test was conducted into the IXRS and 
will be notified if the subject qualifies for the study.   
All subjects will be randomized using a centrally administered stratified permuted block 
randomization, stratified by Baseline 6MWD (≤ 350 meters and > 350 meters).   
Prior to randomization, site personnel should complete a Pre-Baseline Review Form for 
review and approval by the Medical Monitor. 
5.3 BLINDING
The Investigator, study site, subject and Sponsor will not be aware of the treatment allocation.  
All clinical study material will be provided as blinded study drug.   

United Therapeutics Corp. 
  
RIN-PH-201 Protocol Amendment 3

Page39 
The dosing schedule is recommended as a guide only.  The Investigator may determine the 
appropriate dosing schedule on an individual subject basis, considering tolerability and 
functional improvement.   
If subjects are unable to tolerate the initial 3 breaths, they may decrease their next dose to 1 or 
2 breaths of study drug (as determined by the Investigator) 4 times a day during waking hours.  
The subject will then gradually increase their dose to reach a minimum of 3 breaths, and 
titrate to a target dose of 9 breaths and a maximum dose of 12 breaths 4 times a day during 
waking hours, as clinically tolerated. 
Dose changes should be conducted under appropriate medical supervision in consultation with 
the study site.  Telephone calls/emails between the site and subject should occur prior to each 
dose adjustment or at least weekly to monitor for AEs, clinical worsening events, and make 
decisions about dose titration.   
6.2 ACCESSTOBLINDEDTREATMENTASSIGNMENT
During the study, the site personnel, subject, and Sponsor will remain blinded to the treatment 
assignment of all subjects.  A medical emergency (eg, a life threatening event) constitutes the 
only reason for unblinding during the Treatment Phase.  Appropriate communications must 
take place between the site and the Sponsor before accessing the IXRS to allow unblinding of 
a subject’s treatment assignment. 
6.3 COMPLIANCE
Each subject will be provided with a dosing diary in order to record dosing information from 
randomization until Week 16.  Subjects will be required to bring the completed dosing diary 
and all empty and unused study drug ampoules to each scheduled study visit.  At each visit, 
all study drug returned by the subject (used and unused) will be collected and new study drug 
will be dispensed.  The appropriate study personnel must document the number of used and 
unused ampoules and determine if the appropriate amount of study drug remains based on the 
dose of study drug prescribed.   
Subject compliance with the prescribed dosage regimen will be monitored throughout the 
study.  At each study visit, the subject will be asked whether he or she has been compliant

with dosing instructions.  If it is determined that a subject is not compliant with study drug 
then site personnel must re-educate the subject on proper dosing compliance and its 
importance.  Continued non-compliance may lead to withdrawal of the subject from the study, 
after consultation between the Investigator and the Sponsor.

EXPERIMENTALPROCEDURES
Screening may begin up to 30 days prior to first dose of study drug.  Baseline assessments 
may be conducted over a 48-hour period prior to the first dose of study drug to allow for 
scheduling of all activities.  Alternately, the Screening and Baseline assessments may be 
conducted in 1 visit if all assessments are performed and all entry criteria are satisfied within 
the 48 hours prior to randomization and first dose of study drug.   
7.1 SCREENINGVISIT
The recommended sequence of assessments for the Screening Visit is as follows (if not 
combined with the Baseline Visit [see Section 7.3 for the recommended sequence of events 
for the combined Screening/Baseline Visit]): 
 Informed consent 
 Inclusion/exclusion criteria review 
o If necessary, the following procedures may be performed during the 30 day 
Screening window if required to satisfy inclusion/exclusion criteria (previous 
medical records documenting eligibility criteria may also be used provided the 
previous records document subject eligibility within the protocol mandated 
timelines, as applicable):

7.6 ENDOFSTUDY(WEEK16)AND/OREARLYTERMINATIONVISIT
The assessments to be completed during the Week 16 Visit are listed below in the 
recommended sequence of events.  If a decision is made to early terminate a subject from 
study drug or from the study in its entirety, the following assessments should be conducted as 
soon as possible and prior to study drug discontinuation, if possible.  If the subject 
permanently discontinues study drug prior to Week 16 for any reason, the subject should be 
encouraged to remain in the study and complete all visits (excluding the Week 15 Visit) up to 
and including Week 16: 
 SGRQ (questionnaire must be administered prior to any results, procedures, or blood 
draws) 
 PE 
 Vital signs (following at least 5 minutes of rest; collected prior to 6MWT or after 
recovery from the 6MWT); including weight, RR, HR, SBP, DBP, and temperature. 
 Documentation of supplemental oxygen requirement (L/min) 
 12-Lead ECG (following at least 5 minutes of rest in the semi-recumbent position) 
 Urine pregnancy test, for women of childbearing potential 
 Blood draws for clinical laboratory parameters 
 NT-proBNP (must be drawn prior to 6MWT; for central laboratory processing only) 
 Collection of blood sample for evaluation of biomarkers (optional) 
 Peak 6MWT (must be conducted between 10 to 60 minutes after the most recent dose 
of study drug and following at least 10 minutes of rest [sitting]) 
 Pulse oximetry (to be performed immediately prior to, throughout the conduct of, and 
immediately following the 6MWT) 
 PFTs (to be performed after recovery from the 6MWT) 
 Hospitalizations due to a cardiopulmonary indication 
 Exacerbations of underlying lung disease 
 Time to clinical worsening will be evaluated as an exploratory endpoint from the time 
of randomization until 1 of the following criteria are met: 
o Hospitalization due to a cardiopulmonary indication 
o Decrease in 6MWD > 15% from Baseline directly related to disease under study, 
at 2 consecutive visits and at least 24 hours apart 
o Death (all causes) 
o Lung transplantation 
 AEs  
 Concomitant medications 
 Study drug accountability

Subjects who remain on study drug, complete all assessments during the 16-week Treatment 
Phase, and meet all eligibility criteria for the open-label extension study (RIN-PH-202) are 
eligible for an open-label extension study (RIN-PH-202).  Additionally, subjects who are 
withdrawn from study drug prior to Week 16 due to clinical worsening should continue to 
return to the clinic for scheduled visits (excluding the Week 15 Visit) to be eligible for the 
open-label study.  Refer to Section 7.8 for more information regarding access to the open-
label study.   
7.7 STUDYCONTACTS
During the Treatment Phase, all subjects will be contacted at least once a week via telephone 
or email (or more often as needed) to follow-up on adherence of the correct dose titration of 
study drug, and to assess for AEs and concomitant medications.  A copy of emails and/or 
telephone contact sheets must be documented in the subject’s source documentation.  Email 
should not replace direct follow-up by telephone or in clinic for clinically significant AEs or 
other emergent issues.  All study contacts (ie, any dosing instructions, AEs reported, and/or 
medication changes) with the subject will be recorded.  
The weekly study contacts may be replaced by a face-to-face interaction on the weeks where 
study visits occur and the information can be obtained during the visit.  
7.8 ACCESSTOOPEN-LABELSTUDY
Subjects who remain on study drug, complete all assessments during the 16-week Treatment 
Phase, and who meet all eligibility criteria for the open-label extension study (RIN-PH-202) 
are eligible for an open-label extension study (RIN-PH-202).  Additionally, subjects who 
experience clinical worsening and are withdrawn from study drug prior to Week 16 should 
undergo premature termination assessments prior to discontinuing study drug (when possible) 
and complete all remaining scheduled study visits (excluding the Week 15 Visit) through 
Week 16 to be eligible for entry into the open-label study.   
Subjects who permanently discontinue study drug during the 16-week Treatment Phase due to 
treatment-related AEs are not eligible for entry into the open-label study even if they 
complete all remaining scheduled study visits.  The site personnel must never be unblinded to 
the treatment assignment of these subjects unless required for safety reasons.

STUDYTERMINATION
8.1 CRITERIAFORSUBJECT WITHDRAWAL
A subject may voluntarily withdraw or be withdrawn from the study and/or study drug by the 
Investigator at any time for reasons including, but not limited to, the following: 
 The subject wishes to withdraw from further participation. 
 A serious or life-threatening AE occurs or the Investigator considers that it is 
necessary to discontinue study drug to protect the safety of the subject. 
 The subject consistently deviated from the protocol. 
 Lung transplantation. 
 The subject becomes pregnant. 
 The subject’s behavior is likely to undermine the validity of his/her results.  
If a subject is discontinued from the study prematurely, the Investigator must provide an 
explanation in the eCRF and complete the End of Study Record for that subject.  If study drug 
has been administered, the Investigator should make every effort to perform all scheduled 
evaluations prior to discharge.  In the event that a subject discontinues study drug prematurely 
due to an AE, the subject will be followed until either the Investigator determines that the AE 
has resolved, it is no longer considered clinically significant, the subject is lost to further 
follow-up, or for 30 days if the AE extends beyond the final visit. 
If a subject discontinues study drug prematurely for any reason, the subject should be 
encouraged to remain in the study and attend the remaining scheduled study visits (excluding 
the Week 15 Visit) up to and including Week 16. 
8.2 LOSTTOFOLLOW-UP
If a subject fails to return to clinic or respond after at least three documented attempts by the 
site to contact the subject by telephone or email, the Investigator should issue a written letter 

United Therapeutics Corp. 
  
RIN-PH-201 Protocol Amendment 3 
Inhaled Treprostinil 
VersionDate15Feb2017

Page49 
by certified mail requesting the subject to contact the clinic.  If no response is received, the 
subject will be considered lost to follow-up.  The site will record the last date of contact in the 
eCRF as the termination date. 
8.3 CRITERIAFORTERMINATINGTHESTUDY
The study may be stopped at any time if, in the opinion of the Investigator and/or Sponsor, 
continuation of the study represents a serious medical risk to the subjects.  This may include, 
but is not limited to, the presence of serious, life-threatening, or fatal AEs, or AEs that are 
unacceptable in nature, severity, or frequency.  The Sponsor reserves the right to discontinue 
the study for any reason at any time. 
8.4 CRITERIAFORDISCONTINUINGTHESITE
The study may also be terminated at a given site if: 
 The Investigator elects to discontinue the study. 
 The Sponsor elects to discontinue the study at the site. 
 United States FDA, European, or national regulations are not observed. 
 The protocol is consistently violated. 
 Changes in personnel or facilities adversely affect performance of the study. 
9 
ADVERSEEVENTREPORTING
All AEs/SAEs that occur while the subject is participating in the study will be recorded as 
instructed in this protocol (Section 9.2).  
9.1 DEFINITIONS
9.1.1 
AdverseEvent
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a pharmaceutical 
product which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.  An 
AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory 
finding for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal 
product, whether or not related to the use of the medicinal product. 
An AE may include: 
 An intercurrent illness, injury, or any other concomitant impairment of the subject’s 
health, as well as abnormal laboratory findings if deemed to have clinical significance. 

United Therapeutics Corp. 
  
RIN-PH-201 Protocol Amendment 3 
Inhaled Treprostinil 
VersionDate15Feb2017

Page50 
 A worsening of an existing symptom or condition or post-treatment events that occur 
as a result of protocol-mandated procedures (eg, exacerbation of a pre-existing illness 
following the start of the study or an increase in frequency or intensity of a pre-
existing episodic event or condition). 
Thus, no causal relationship with the study drug is implied by use of the term "adverse event." 
An AE does not include the following: 
 Medical or surgical procedures (eg, surgery, endoscopy, tooth extraction, transfusion); 
however, the condition for which the surgery is required may be an AE. 
 Planned surgical measures permitted by the study protocol and the condition(s) 
leading to these measures are not AEs. 
 Day to day fluctuations of pre-existing disease or conditions present or detected at the 
start of the study that do not worsen. 
 Situations where an untoward medical occurrence has not occurred (eg, 
hospitalizations for cosmetic elective surgery, social and/or convenience admissions). 
 The disease or disorder being studied or a sign or symptom associated with the disease 
or disorder unless more severe than expected for the subject’s condition. 
9.1.2 
SeriousAdverseEvent
A SAE is an AE occurring at any time after informed consent that results in any of the 
following outcomes: 
 Death 
 A life-threatening AE 
 Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
 A persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
 A congenital anomaly/birth defect 
 Results in a medically important event of reaction 
Life-threatening in this context refers to a reaction in which the subject was at risk of death at 
the time of the reaction; it does not refer to a reaction that hypothetically might have caused 
death if more severe. 
Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether other situations 
should be considered serious reactions, such as important medical events that might not be 
immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization, but might jeopardize the 
subject or might require intervention to prevent 1 of the other outcomes listed above.

Page51 
Examples of such events are intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic 
bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias, or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization or 
development of dependency or abuse.  Any suspected transmission via a medicinal product of 
an infectious agent is also considered a serious adverse reaction. 
9.2 DOCUMENTATIONOFADVERSEEVENTS
An AE or SAE occurring during the study must be documented in the subject’s source 
documents and on the appropriate eCRF page.  Information relating to the AE such as onset 
and cessation date and times, intensity, seriousness, relationship to study drug, and outcome is 
also to be documented in the eCRF (see Appendix 15.2 for definitions).  Where possible, AEs 
should be recorded using standard medical terminology.  The Investigator should attempt, if 
possible, to establish a diagnosis based on the presenting signs and symptoms.  If several 
signs or symptoms are clearly related to a medically-defined diagnosis or syndrome, the 
diagnosis or syndrome should be recorded on the eCRF page, not the individual signs and 
symptoms. 
9.3 FOLLOW-UPOFADVERSEEVENTS
All AEs should be followed until either resolution (or return to normal or baseline values), 
until they are judged by the Investigator to no longer be clinically significant, or for at least 
30 days if the AE extends beyond the final visit.  All SAEs that occur during the study will be 
followed until resolution, death, or the subject is lost to follow-up even if they are ongoing 
more than 4 weeks after completion of the final study visit.  Supplemental measurements 
and/or evaluations may be necessary to investigate fully the nature and/or causality of an AE 
or SAE.  This may include additional laboratory tests, diagnostic procedures, or consultation 
with other healthcare professionals.  The eCRF pages should be updated with any new or 
additional information as appropriate. 
9.4 REPORTINGRESPONSIBILITIESOFTHEINVESTIGATOR
All SAEs, regardless of expectedness or causality, must be reported to the Sponsor by 
fax/email 
) within 24 hours of awareness.  
A completed SAE Notification Report form along with any relevant hospital records and 
autopsy reports should be provided to Global Drug Safety at United Therapeutics 
Corporation.  A follow-up SAE Notification Report form must be forwarded to Global Drug

eCRF by the site after the Investigator initially signs the eCRF.  The database will be final 
when all outstanding queries have been resolved and all data management quality assurance 
procedures are complete. 
10.2 SAMPLESIZE
Using an allocation ratio of 1:1 between inhaled treprostinil and placebo, a sample size of 
approximately 266 subjects (133 per treatment) would provide at least 90% power at a 
significance level of 0.05 (2-sided hypothesis) to detect a 30 meter between-treatment 
difference in the change from Baseline in 6MWD assuming a standard deviation of 75 meters.  
The total sample size will be approximately 314 subjects to account for a discontinuation rate 
of approximately 15%.   
10.3 ANALYSISPLAN
Details of the efficacy and safety analyses are provided below.  A separate statistical analysis 
plan will document further details of the statistical methods to be employed, including any 
changes to planned analyses specified within this protocol.  The analysis plan will be finalized 
prior to any unblinding of study data by the Sponsor.  Unless otherwise specified, all 
statistical tests will be 2-sided at alpha level of 0.05.  All statistical calculations will be 
completed using the latest version of SAS
®. 
The Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population will be defined as all subjects randomized into the study 
and receive at least 1 dose of study drug; all ITT subjects will be counted in the group to 
which they were randomized, regardless of the study drug they were actually given.  All 
efficacy analyses will be performed on this ITT population, unless otherwise specified.  The 
Safety population will be defined as all subjects enrolled into the study who received at least 
1 dose of study drug; all Safety population subjects will be counted in the group 
corresponding to the study drug actually received, regardless of randomized assignment.  All 
safety analyses will be performed on this Safety population, unless otherwise specified.   
10.3.1 
PrimaryEfficacyEndpoint
The primary efficacy endpoint is the change in 6MWD measured at peak exposure from 
Baseline to Week 16.  This study hypothesizes that inhaled treprostinil will improve exercise 
capacity after 16 weeks of therapy as compared with placebo when administered to subjects

with PH associated with ILD including CPFE.  Non-parametric analysis of covariance will be 
used to estimate the treatment effect.  The magnitude of treatment effect will be estimated 
with the Hodges-Lehmann median difference between 2 treatment groups.  For subjects who 
discontinue from the study early, the last observation carried forward method will be used to 
impute the 6MWD at Week 16. 
10.3.2 
SecondaryEfficacyEndpoints
The effect of inhaled treprostinil will be formally tested on the following 3 secondary efficacy 
endpoints:  
1. Change in peak 6MWD from Baseline to Week 12 
2. Change in plasma concentration of NT-proBNP from Baseline to Week 16 
3. Change in trough 6MWD from Baseline to Week 15 
The similar approach for the analysis of primary efficacy endpoint will be used.  No 
adjustment for multiplicity is planned. 
10.3.3 
ExploratoryEndpoints
The effect of inhaled treprostinil will be evaluated on the following parameters: 
1. Change in peak 6MWD from Baseline to Week 4 
2. Change in peak 6MWD at from Baseline to Week 8 
3. Change in SGRQ from Baseline to Week 16 
4. Time to clinical worsening will be evaluated as an exploratory endpoint from the time 
of randomization until 1 of the following criteria are met: 
a. Hospitalization due to a cardiopulmonary indication 
b. Decrease in 6MWD > 15% from Baseline directly related to disease under study, 
at 2 consecutive visits and at least 24 hours apart 
c. Death (all causes) 
d. Lung transplantation 
5. Change in DSP from Baseline to Week 16 
6. Optional evaluation of change in biomarkers (specific targets to be determined) from 
Baseline to Week 16 
7. Optional evaluation of whole genome sequence at Baseline 
For changes in peak 6MWD and SGRQ, a similar approach for the analysis of primary 
efficacy endpoint will be used.  For time to clinical worsening, Kaplan-Meier estimator will 
be provided and log-rank test will be used to compare the treatment difference.

SafetyAnalyses
The safety of inhaled treprostinil will be evaluated by comparison of the following parameters 
between the 2 treatment groups: 
1. AEs 
2. Oxygenation  
a. Pulse oximetry (SpO2) 
b. Supplemental oxygen (L/min) requirement  
3. Pulmonary function: 
a. FEV1 
b. FVC 
c. TLC 
d. DLCO 
4. Clinical laboratory parameters 
5. Vital signs 
6. 12-Lead ECG 
7. Hospitalization due to cardiopulmonary indications 
8. Exacerbations of underlying lung disease; defined as an acute, clinically significant, 
respiratory deterioration characterized by evidence of new widespread alveolar 
abnormality 
All AEs as recorded by the Investigators will be assigned a Medical Dictionary for Regulatory 
Activities (MedDRA) preferred term and system organ class by the Sponsor for reporting 
purposes.  The summary of AEs will include the number and percentage of subjects, as well 
as the number of events reported for each preferred term.  No inferential analyses are planned 
for the AEs. 
Data collected prior to dosing will serve as Baseline values for the evaluation of data collected 
during the Treatment Phase.  Summary statistics will be calculated for measured values and 
changes from Baseline values.  Treatment-emergent changes in vital signs, ECGs, PFTs, 
oxygenation parameters, and clinical laboratory parameters will be summarized by treatment 
group.  Incidence of hospitalization due to cardiopulmonary indications and exacerbations of 
underlying lung disease will be summarized by treatment group.  No inferential analyses are 
planned on these safety endpoints.

The foil pouch and the outer carton will each be labeled with the same information and sent to 
the site.  At a minimum, the study medication outer packaging (pouch and carton) will be 
labeled to disclose clearly the product name, study number, kit identification number, expiry 
date, Sponsor’s name and address, IFU, and storage information (subject to regulatory 
requirements in each study region or country).   
11.2.2 
StudyDevice
Study subjects will receive commercially available TD-100 nebulizers and accessories 
separately from study drug.  Study subjects will receive 2 devices at Baseline supplied as a 
device starter kit.  Subjects will receive replacement parts as part of a monthly device 
resupply kit.  The nebulizers and accessories will be supplied using standard packaging 
labeled with the study number.   
11.3 STORAGEANDHANDLINGOFCLINICALSTUDY MATERIAL
All study drug will be stored at room temperature 25°C (77°F) with excursions permitted to 
15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F).  Study drug should not be frozen, refrigerated, or exposed to 
heat.  Keep the ampoules in the foil pouch to protect from light.  Once the foil pouch is 
opened, use within 7 days.  See investigational medicinal product label for information on use 
and storage of the product.   
Study drug will be stored in a securely locked cabinet or enclosure with appropriate 
temperature monitoring.  Access should be strictly limited to the Investigators and their 
designees.  Neither the Investigators nor any designees may provide study drug to any subject 
not participating in this protocol. 
11.4 SUPPLYANDRETURNOFCLINICALSTUDY MATERIAL
Study sites will be supplied with a sufficient quantity of study drug to begin enrollment in the 
study.  At Baseline, an IXRS will be utilized to randomize the subjects and assign the 
appropriate study drug for the first 4-week treatment interval.  At subsequent study visits, the 
IXRS will be utilized by study staff to assign subsequent study drug kits to the subjects based

upon their current treatment allocation.  At each study visit, all study drug dispensed to a 
subject should be returned to the study site, including all used and unused ampoules.   
At the end of the study, nebulizers used during the study should be collected from each 
subject not continuing into the open-label extension study.  Subjects continuing into the 
open-label extension study will retain their devices for use in the open-label extension study. 
11.5 DRUGACCOUNTABILITY
The Investigator is responsible for study drug accountability and reconciliation overall and on 
a per subject basis.  Drug accountability records are to be maintained during the study and 
these records include, but are not limited to: the amount of study drug received from the 
Sponsor, the amount dispensed to each subject, and the amount of used/unused study drug 
returned to the site from the subject.  
At each visit, site personnel will: 
 Collect and document all study drug returned by the subject (both used and unused).   
 Compute study drug compliance using the dosing instructions given to the subject 
since the previous study visit and the amount of study drug returned. 
 Re-educate the subject about the importance of following the prescribed dosing 
regimen (if compliance is low). 
Once a representative from the Sponsor is able to confirm drug accountability for a completed 
subject, study drug will be returned to a Sponsor designated location for destruction and/or 
destroyed onsite per institutional policy.  At the end of the study, nebulizers used during the 
study should be collected from each subject not continuing into the open-label extension 
study.  These nebulizers will be returned to a Sponsor designated location for destruction.  In 
the event of device malfunction, at any point during the study, the nebulizer should be 
returned to the Sponsor.  Subjects continuing into the open-label extension study will retain 
their devices for use in the open-label extension study.

APPENDICES
15.1 PROCEDUREFOR6-MINUTE WALKTEST
General Procedures 
The 6MWT should be administered by the same tester at each study site throughout the study, 
whenever possible.  The administration of the test and specifications of the testing area should 
be generally consistent with the American Thoracic Society guidelines1,2 and the usual 
practice of the investigative site.  Subjects receiving supplemental oxygen during the Baseline 
6MWT must continue to receive the same flow rate at all subsequent 6MWT assessments. 
The area used for the 6MWT should be pre-measured at approximately 30 meters in length 
and at least 2 to 3 meters in width.  There must be no turns or significant curves to the 6MWT 
area.  The length should be marked with gradations to ensure the accurate measurement of the 
distance walked.  The area should be well ventilated.  The tester may be at the starting end of 
the corridor or at the midpoint of the corridor with a stop-watch.  Intermittent rest periods are 
allowed if the subject can no longer continue.  If the subject needs to rest briefly, he/she may 
stand or sit and then begin again when he/she is sufficiently rested but the clock will continue 
to run.  At the end of 6 minutes, the tester will call “stop where you are” while simultaneously 
stopping the watch and then measure the distance walked.   
Instructions to the Subject  
Subjects will be instructed that the preceding meal should be light.  Subjects should be told to 
wear comfortable clothing and sneakers or comfortable walking shoes.  The person 
administering the test will use the following exact dialogue with the subject: 
“The purpose of this test is to find out how far you can walk in 6 minutes.  You will 
start from this point and follow the hallway to the marker (eg, chair) at the end, turn 
around and walk back.  When you arrive back at the starting point you will go back

and forth again.  You will go back and forth as many times as you can in the 6-minute 
period.  You may stop and rest if you need to.  Just remain where you are until you can 
go on again.  However, the most important thing about the test is that you cover as 
much ground as you possibly can during the 6-minutes.  I will tell you the time, and I 
will let you know when the 6 minutes are up.  When I say ‘STOP,’ please stand right 
where you are.” 
After these instructions are given to the subject, the person administering the test will then 
ask: 
“Do you have any questions about the test?” 
The person administering the test will then start the test by saying the following to the subject: 
“Are you ready?” 
“Start when I say ‘GO.’” 
The person administering the test will tell the subject the time at each minute by saying: 
“You have 5 minutes to go.” 
“You have 4 minutes to go.” 
“You have 3 minutes to go.” 
“You have 2 minutes to go.” 
“You have 1 minute to go.” 
At 6 minutes, the person administering the test will tell the subject:  
“Stop where you are.” 
No other instruction or encouragement will be given during the test.  Eye contact with the 
subject should be avoided during the test.

15.2 GUIDELINESANDDEFINITIONSFORRECORDINGADVERSEEVENTS
The Investigator or a designated member of his/her staff will probe each subject for any AEs 
that may have occurred.  The Investigator should always ask the same question when 
conducting the verbal probe in order to ensure uniformity between subjects.  The Investigator 
should ask: 
“How are you doing (feeling)?” 
Based on the subject’s response to this question, the Investigator should ask additional 
questions relevant to the specific complaint such as: 
“How severe is/was the symptom?” 
“How often did the symptom occur?” 
“How long did the symptom last?” 
It is the Investigator’s responsibility to review the results of all diagnostic and laboratory tests 
as they become available and ascertain if there is a clinically significant change from 
Baseline.  If the results are determined to be a clinically significant change from Baseline, this 
should be reported as an AE.  The Investigator may repeat the diagnostic procedure or 
laboratory test or request additional tests to verify the results of the original tests.  When 
possible, a diagnosis associated with the abnormality should be used as the reported AE. 
Using provided definitions, the Investigator will then: 
(1) rate the intensity and seriousness of the AE, (2) estimate the causality of the AE to study 
drug, and (3) note actions taken to counteract the AE. 
Definitions of Intensity, Seriousness, Causality, Action Taken, and Outcome 
INTENSITY 
An assessment of the relative intensity (severity) of an AE is based on the Investigator’s 
clinical judgment.  The maximum intensity encountered during the evaluation period should 
be checked.  The assessment of intensity should be independent of the assessment of the 
seriousness of the AE.

SERIOUSNESS 
A serious AE is one that represents an actual or potential significant hazard.  This includes, 
but is not limited to, an event that is fatal, life-threatening, permanently or severely disabling, 
requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization*, is a congenital abnormality (offspring of 
subject) or is medically significant (important medical events that may not result in death, be 
life-threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered an SAE when, based upon 
appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or 
surgical intervention to prevent 1 of the outcomes listed in this definition). 
*Hospitalizations that would not be considered SAEs include those for: 
 Routine treatment or monitoring of the study indication not associated with any 
deterioration in condition (eg, hospitalization for a routine RHC). 
 Treatment which was elective or pre-planned, for a pre-existing condition not 
associated with any deterioration in condition (eg, pre-planned operation which does 
not lead to further complications etc). 
 Treatment of an emergency, in an outpatient setting for an event not fulfilling any of 
the definitions of serious as given above and not resulting in hospital admission. 
CAUSALITY 
An estimate of causality between a specified AE and the study drug is made by the 
Investigator.  Several factors should be considered when determining causality.  These factors 
include temporal relationship and response to withdrawal or reintroduction of the study drug.  
Definitions of the causality categories are as follows: 
 NOT RELATED  There is not a temporal relationship to study drug administration 
(too early, or late, or study drug not taken), or there is a reasonable causal relationship 
between another drug, or concurrent disease and the SAE, or any of the following: 
o An event that precedes the first administration of study drug 
o An event for which the cause is clearly related to an external event 
o Temporal relationship to study drug is atypical 
o Is readily explained by an intercurrent illness AND has an expected level of 
severity, duration, and resolution 
o An alternative explanation (concomitant drug, intercurrent illness) is likely 
 POSSIBLE  There is a reasonable causal relationship between the study drug and the 
SAE.  Dechallenge information is lacking or unclear, study drug administration was 
not modified in response to the SAE, or any of the following:

RIN-PH-201 Protocol Amendment 3

Page68 
o Has a reasonable temporal relationship to study drug 
o The event has a plausible biological link to the activity of the study drug 
o Is unlikely to be related to an intercurrent illness or has an unexpected degree of 
severity, duration or complication 
 PROBABLE  There is a reasonable causal relationship between the study drug and 
the SAE.  The event responds to dechallenge - the event resolves or improves with 
modification of study drug administration.  Rechallenge (the original study drug was 
restarted) is not required, or any of the following: 
o Has a reasonable temporal relationship to study drug 
o The event has a plausible biologic link to the activity of the study drug 
o Not readily explained by an intercurrent illness 
o Not readily explained by external event 
o Improves on discontinuation of study drug 
o If study drug has been discontinued, may recur or reintroduction of study drug 
ACTION TAKEN 
STUDY DRUG DOSE MODIFICATION* 
 Dose Not Changed  The dose or regimen of the study drug was not changed. 
 Dose Increased  The dose or regimen of study drug was increased  
 Dose Decreased  The dose or regimen of study drug was decreased 
 Drug Interrupted  Administration of the study drug was stopped temporarily 
 Drug Withdrawn  Administration of the study drug was stopped permanently and not 
restarted 
 Unknown  Changes to the administration of the study drug cannot be determined 
 Not Applicable  
*NOTE:  Only the last study drug action should be recorded in the eCRF.  For example, if the 
study drug is withdrawn and then the decision is made to restart, the dose modification of 
“Drug interrupted” should be reported on the SAE form. 
OUTCOME 
 Fatal  The study subject died. 
 Not Recovered/Not Resolved  The AE was ongoing at the time of death or at the time 
the subject was lost to follow up. 
 Recovered/Resolved  The AE resolved. 
 Recovered/Resolved with Sequelae  The AE is considered resolved however there is 
residual sequelae.  Some events do not return to baseline, such as metastasis or 
progression of disease; however, once these events are determined by the Investigator 
to be stable or chronic, the Investigator may consider the event to be resolved or 
resolved with sequelae.

 Recovering/Resolving  The AE is improving but is not yet completely 
recovered/resolved. 
 Unknown  The outcome of the AE cannot be determined.
