Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Age 1.

Switching PAH treatment from an ERA (eg, bosentan, ambrisentan) to macitentan when a participant’s clinical condition is unstable or undergoing continuous deterioration. Prior/Concurrent Clinical Study Experience 22. Received an investigational intervention (including investigational vaccines) or used an invasive investigational medical device within 4 weeks prior to Visit 2 (Day 1) or is currently enrolled in an investigational study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The Primary Objective is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of macitentan and its active metabolite (aprocitentan) in children aged 1 month to <2 years.;Secondary Objective: The Secondary Objectives are: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of macitentan in children aged 1 month to <2 years. Overall safety will be assessed. - To evaluate the PK of macitentan and its active metabolite (aprocitentan) in children aged 1 month to <2 years.;Primary end point(s): Primary endpoint is trough concentrations of macitentan and its active metabolite (aprocitentan) at Week 4 (steady-state).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 4 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary end points are: 1. Adverse events and serious adverse events. 2. Adverse events leading to premature discontinuation of macitentan. 3. Adverse events of special interest. 4. Marked laboratory abnormalities. 5. Change from baseline in selected laboratory parameters to all scheduled assessment timepoints. 6. Change from baseline in vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate) to all scheduled assessment timepoints. 7. Growth (body weight and length/height) from baseline to all scheduled assessment timepoints. 8. Concentrations of macitentan and its active metabolite (aprocitentan) at 2, 5, and 24 hours after the first dose of macitentan for macitentan naive participants. 9. Trough concentrations of macitentan and its active metabolite (aprocitentan) at Week 8 (steady-state conditions).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1-7. Throughout the study. 8. 2, 5, and 24 hours after the first dose of macitentan 9. Week 8 | — |
