Brief summary
The aim of the study is to assess safety, tolerability and clinical effects of different doses of riociguat in patients with inoperable Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) and who are not satisfactorily treated and cannot participate in any other CTEPH trial. In the US the study runs as an Expanded Access program under 21 CFR 312.320.
Interventions
Individual dosing of riociguat between 0.5 and 2.5 mg three times daily based on patient's well being and blood pressure. (The individual optimal dose should be determined during the initial 8-week titration phase based on patient's monitoring of systolic blood pressure and well-being.)
