Brief summary
The safety and efficacy at 100 mg once daily for oral dose of sitaxentan sodium were demonstrated in the STRIDE clinical trial program. Sitaxentan sodium was approved in the EU, Canada and Australia. In this study, the safety and efficacy after administrations of sitaxentan sodium at a dose of 100 mg alone or in combination with another medication will be investigated in Japanese PAH patients.

Outcome results
Change From Baseline in 6-minute Walk Distance
Change from baseline in 6-minute walk distance is calculated as the value at Week 12 minus value at baseline.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Population: Efficacy analysis set is defined as all participants who receive at least one dose of the study drug and had efficacy observations at baseline in any efficacy assessments.~Descriptive statistics for change from baseline in 6-minute walk distance were not calculated due to a small number of participants.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Number of participants with any adverse events, severe adverse events, serious adverse events
Time frame: 12 weeks
Population: Safety analysis set is defined as all participants who receive at least one dose of the study drug.~Descriptive statistics for adverse events were not calculated due to a small number of subjects.
