Arm Description

Participants who have completed a parent study, benefit from their study intervention maintenance and have no adequate alternative local treatment option will be enrolled in this study and will continue to receive study drug macitentan orally during the course of the study. For adult participants study visits will be scheduled every 6 months and for pediatric participants study visits will be scheduled every 3 months. The study includes on-site visits to collect efficacy and safety information until participant discontinuation/withdrawal, or the respective study intervention is made commercially available in the country/territory or an equivalent approved therapy becomes available, or the sponsor decides to terminate the study prematurely.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Frequency of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. TEAEs are defined as AEs with onset or worsening on or after date of first dose of study treatment.
Frequency of TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation
Frequency of TEAEs leading to discontinuation of study intervention will be reported. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. TEAEs are defined as AEs with onset or worsening on or after date of first dose of study treatment.
Frequency of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product and is medically important.
Frequency of Deaths
Frequency of deaths will be reported.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to enable participants with pulmonary hypertension (PH) currently treated with study intervention(s) in a clinical study (parent studies [NCT03422328, NCT03904693 and NCT04565990]), to continue to benefit from the intervention after closure of the parent study in case they have no alternative means of access to the study intervention. This study will allow assessment of the long-term safety of each study intervention.
