Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Macitentan
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: Macitentan - Participant will receive macitentan at a dose of 10 milligram (mg) once daily (OD) for 4 weeks, followed by a dose of macitentan 37.5 mg for another 4 weeks and continue with the target dose of macitentan 75 mg. Participants who have reached the target dose of 75 mg, completed the Double-blind (DB) period up to Week 28 (either on treatment or in Post-treatment observation period \[PTOP\]) at minimum, may be eligible for transitioning into the Open label (OL) extension period once all participants have completed the DB part of the study, or earlier if they experienced a Clinical event committee (CEC) confirmed clinical worsening event.

Experimental: Placebo - Participants will receive placebo tablets matching the macitentan 10 mg, macitentan 37.5mg and macitentan 75 mg tablets, respectively. Participants who completed the DB period as per protocol either on treatment or in PTOP are eligible for transitioning to the OL extension period and will receive macitentan 75 mg after an 8-week double-dummy uptitration (macitentan 10 mg for 4 weeks, followed by 37.5 mg for another 4 weeks).


Treatment: Drugs: Macitentan
Participants will receive Macitentan film-coated tablets orally od.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Participant will receive matching placebo tablets orally od.
