Brief Summary:
The study evaluates the effect of macitentan on right ventricular and hemodynamic properties in patients with symptomatic pulmonary arterial hypertension. Patients are treated with macitentan for 1 year. Patients undergo right heart catheterization (RHC) at baseline and Week 26. They also undergo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at baseline, Week 26 and Week 52. Safety is monitored throughout the study. The study has three stub-studies. Each patient can participate in no sub-study or in one sub-study. The sub-studies are: (1) metabolism sub-study (with PET-MR scans); (2) biopsy sub-study (biopsies taken during the RHC); (3) Echo sub-study.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Right Ventricular Stroke Volume (RVSV) to Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 26 ]
    Change from baseline in RVSV assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from pulmonary artery flow was reported at Week 26. Primary analysis were based on interim results as pre-planned and the primary outcome measures data table reported is finalized as is.

  2. Ratio of Week 26 to Baseline Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 26 ]
    Ratio of Week 26 to baseline PVR as assessed by RHC was reported. PVR represents the resistance against which the right ventricle needs to pump. PVR is determined by right heart catheterization (RHC). PVR was calculated as 80*(Mean pulmonary arterial pressure [mPAP] -[Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure {PCWP} or Left ventricular end diastolic pressure {LVEDP} if PCWP not available/cardiac output [CO]). Primary analysis were based on interim results as pre-planned and the primary outcome measures data table reported is finalized as is.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Right Ventricular End Diastolic Volume (RVEDV) to Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ]
    Change from baseline to Week 26 in RVEDV assessed by cardiac MRI was reported.

  2. Change From Baseline in Right Ventricular End Systolic Volume (RVESV) to Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ]
    Change from baseline to Week 26 in RVESV assessed by cardiac MRI was reported.

  3. Change From Baseline in Right Ventricular Ejection Fraction (RVEF) to Week 26 (% Blood Volume) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ]
    Change from baseline to Week 26 in RVEF based on pulmonary artery flow assessed by cardiac MRI was reported.

  4. Change From Baseline in Right Ventricle (RV) Mass to Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ]
    Change from baseline to Week 26 in RV mass assessed by cardiac MRI was reported.

  5. Change From Baseline in Six-minutes Walk Distance (6MWD) to Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ]
    6MWD is a non-encouraged test performed in a 30 meter (m) long flat corridor, where the participant is instructed to walk as far as possible, back and forth around two cones, with the permission to slow down, rest, or stop if needed. This test is used to assess exercise capacity. The test was performed about 30 minutes after study drug administration. Any increase in the walk distance was considered improvement from baseline.

  6. Change From Baseline in World Health Organization Functional Class (WHO FC) to Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ]
    WHO FC is a classification which reflects disease severity based on symptoms. WHO Functional Classification of pulmonary hypertension comprises of Class I (participants with pulmonary hypertension but without resulting limitation of physical activity), II (participants with pulmonary hypertension resulting in slight limitation of physical activity), III (participants with pulmonary hypertension resulting in marked limitation of physical activity) and IV (participants with pulmonary hypertension with inability to carry out any physical activity without symptoms). Changes from baseline to Week 26 included: improvement (change from a higher to a lower FC), worsening (change from a lower to a higher FC) or unchanged/stable (same FC at baseline and at the post-baseline time point).
