In this study, patients established on guideline recommended therapy will be implanted with devices and remote monitoring established. Part 1 (Randomised crossover Phase) : Patients will enter into a 2x2 crossover study of approved drugs during which standard clinical investigations will be undertaken at baseline and maximal therapy on each drug. The cross-over design will provide multiple increases and decreases of drugs known to alter haemodynamics and 6MWT. The study is powered to detect improvement in right ventricular stroke volume measured by MRI from baseline to maximal therapy for each drug. It will then be established if changes in remote monitored measures provide an early indication of clinical efficacy when compared to the MRI, haemodynamics, NTproBNP and 6MWT made at 12-weeks. Remote measurement of haemodynamics during the two periods of de-escalation will inform understanding of physiology and inform clinical practice. The comparison of the two therapeutic strategies in individual patients in one study will facilitate novel clinical study designs and provide evidence for data-driven personalised medicine in the area. Part 2 (Extension Phase- Sotatercept):Following completion of Part 1 (or via direct entry for eligible patients in WHO FC II/III on background PAH therapy), patients enter an open-label , single arm extension phase evaluating treatment escalation with sotatercept (Winrevair).Subcutaneous sotatercept will be initiated at a starting dose of 0.3 mg/kg once every 3 weeks and escalated after 3 weeks to a target maintenance dose of 0.7 mg/kg based on clinical response, weight, and safety parameter verification (haematoglobin and platelet counts). Unlike the multi-drug crossover design in Part 1, Part 2 specifically isolates the longitudinal hemodynamic, functional, and quality-of-life (emPHasis-10, EQ-5D-5L) trajectory following the introduction of a novel activin-signaling inhibitor. This phase will establish the rate and velocity of physiological change under single-agent titration to determine whether continuous daily remote metrics can detect early treatment response compared to standard 24-week clinical endpoint assessments.
