MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) up to 28 Days After Study Treatment DiscontinuationUp to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation (Up to 12 years)An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. TEAE are defined as AEs with onset during the treatment period or that are a consequence of a pre-existing condition that has worsened since baseline.
Number of Participants With Death up to 28 Days After Study Treatment DiscontinuationUp to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation (Up to 12 years)Number of participants with deaths up to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation were reported.
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) up to 28 Days After Study Treatment DiscontinuationUp to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation (Up to 12 years)An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. TEAE are defined as AEs with onset during the treatment period or that are a consequence of a pre-existing condition that has worsened since baseline. A SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly; medically significant, or requires intervention to prevent at least one of the outcomes listed above.
Number of Participants With AEs Leading to Permanent Discontinuation of Study TreatmentUp to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation (Up to12 years)Number of participants with AEs leading to permanent discontinuation of study treatment were reported. An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship.
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Abnormal Liver Tests up to 28 Days After Study Treatment DiscontinuationUp to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation (Up to12 years)Number of participants with treatment-emergent abnormal liver tests: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) greater than (\>) 3\*upper limit of normal (ULN) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>3\* ULN, ALT \>5\* ULN or AST \>5\*ULN, ALT \>8\*ULN or AST \>8\*ULN, total bilirubin (TBIL) \>2\*ULN, ALT \>3\*ULN or AST \>3\*ULN and TBIL \>2\*ULN at any time were reported.

Participants assessed for different categories of HGB were \<=80 grams/Liter (g/L), \<=100g/L, decrease from baseline \>=20 g/L, and decrease from baseline \>=50 g/L.

Macitentan 10 mg
Participants with symptomatic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who completed or have experienced a morbidity/clinical worsening of PAH in the study AC-055-302 (NCT00660179) and opted to continue this open label extension (OLE) study received macitentan oral tablet, 10 milligrams (mg) once daily from Day 1 up to end of study (up to 12 years) which depends on following a). transition to commercially available macitentan in the participant's country b). the sponsor decided to stop the OL study, and c). the participant's or investigators or sponsors decision to discontinue study treatment.
