Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the PK of macitentan in children with PAH. ;Secondary Objective: To assess safety and tolerability of macitentan in children with PAH. To assess efficacy of macitentan in children with PAH.;Primary end point(s): In subjects = 2 years of age in the macitentan arm: • Trough (pre-dose) plasma concentrations of macitentan and its active metabolite(ACT-132 577) at Week 12 (steady-state) In subjects less than 2 years of age on macitentan: • Trough concentrations of macitentan and its active metabolite (ACT132577) at Week 4 (steady-state) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At steady-state

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary endpoints are listed below: • Time to first CEC-confirmed hospitalization for PAH occurring between randomization/Visit 2 and end of core period (EOCP). • Time to CEC-confirmed death due to PAH occurring between randomization/Visit 2 and end of core period (EOCP). • Time to death (all causes) occurring between randomization/Visit 2 and Study Closure. Following secondary endpoints are analyzed up to end of randomized macitentan or SoC + 7 days. Baseline is the last non-missing value observed before or on the day of randomization/ Visit 2 • WHO FC status (I or II vs III or IV) at Week 24. • Percent of Baseline plasma NT-proBNP at Week 24. • Change from Baseline to Week 48 in in mean daily time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity as measured by accelerometry. • Change from Baseline to Week 24 in tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), and left ventricular eccentricity index measured by echocardiography (centrally assessed). • Change from Baseline to Week 24 in Quality of Life as measured by the PedsQLTM 4.0 Generic Core Scales Short Form (SF15)1. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Up to end of randomized treatment + 7 days
