11. Untreated severe obstructive sleep apnea.
12. Hepatic dysfunction defined as Child-Pugh Class A or higher, or as evidenced by one of the following at Screening: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or total bilirubin ≥ 2 x ULN.
13. Severe acute or chronic medical or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or IP administration (eg, history of intracranial hemorrhage, recurrent syncope).
14. Any musculoskeletal disease, injury, or any other disease that limits evaluation of 6MWT.
15. Initiation of an exercise program for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation within 12 weeks prior to Screening or planned during the study.
16. Pregnant or nursing or intends to become pregnant during the duration of the study.
17. Body weight < 40 kg at Screening.
18. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 45 mL/min/1.73m² Hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration < 8.5 g/dL at Screening.

20. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors within 12 weeks prior to Screening.
21. Requirement of IV inotropes (ie, levosimendan, dopamine, dobutamine, milrinone, norepinephrine) or IV diuretics for more than 24 hours within 4 weeks prior to Screening.
22. Subjects currently receiving oral anticoagulants (ie, warfarin/other vitamin K antagonists or direct-acting oral anticoagulants [DOACs]) if any of the following criteria are met:
23. . History within 24 weeks of Screening of: i. Syncope, or ii. Symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ iii. Intramuscular with compartment syndrome, or iv.
