Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Signs or symptoms of Heart Failure (HF) (NYHA FC II and III) requiring treatment with at least one oral diuretic (any type) • Left Ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) = 40% (by echocardiography at Screening) • Structural heart disease consistent with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) established by echocardiography at Screening • Elevated NT-proBNP • Pulmonary vascular disease or right ventricular dysfunction Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 60 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 240
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Any prior valid measurement of LVEF < 40%. • Cardiovascular co-morbidities (e.g., significant unrepaired structural valvular heart disease; acute coronary syndrome, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 3 months of Screening; uncontrolled heart rate from atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, history of serious life-threatening or hemodynamically significant arrhythmia; history of or anticipated heart transplant or ventricular assist device implantation, etc) • Systolic blood pressure (SBP) = 180 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) = 110 mmHg during Screening • Hemoglobin < 100g/L (< 10 g/dl). • Significant parenchymal lung disease (e .g., severe COPD, moderate or severe restrictive lung disease , diffuse interstitial fibrosis or alveolitis, pulmonary thromboembolism) • Severe renal dysfunction with an estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR ) < 30 m L/min per 1.73 m2 • Severe hepatic impairment, e .g., Child Pugh Class C. Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether macitentan 10 mg reduces NT-pro-BNP versus placebo at Week 24 in subjects with HFpEF and pulmonary vascular disease;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of macitentan 10 mg as compared to placebo on: – Quality of life – Daily physical activity – Worsening of heart failure;Primary end point(s): Primary efficacy endpoint(s) • Percent of baseline NT-proBNP assessed at Week 24;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 24 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary efficacy endpoints • Change from baseline to Week 24 in the clinical summary score (as assessed by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire [KCCQ]) • Change from baseline to Week 24 in accelerometer-assessed proportion of time spent in light to vigorous physical activity based on a threshold of > 100 activity counts per minute • Time to worsening heart failure (WHF) event over 52 weeks as adjudicated by the Clinical Event Committee;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 24, Week 52 | — |
