A Clinical Study to Investigate the Long-term Safety of the Drug Macitentan in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension Who Were Previously Treated With Macitentan in Clinical Studies.

Study Purpose

The aim of the trial is to study the long-term safety of macitentan and to provide continued treatment with macitentan to patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who were previously treated with macitentan in clinical studies.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03422328
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

The purpose of this study is to provide continued treatment with macitentan to subjects with PAH or CTEPH who participated in "parent studies" and to continue to accrue long-term safety data. The design of this study is widely used in clinical programs to give participants in a clinical study access to an effective study treatment beyond completion of the parent study. This is considered the best option to collect long-term safety and tolerability information of macitentan 10 mg and survival status of participants with PAH and CTEPH. "Parent study/studies" refer to a number of clinical studies with macitentan that are conducted in different clinical classification of PAH and CTEPH (NCT00667823, NCT02112487, NCT02310672, NCT02968901, NCT02558231, NCT02382016, NCT02060721) and may be completed before the participants have access to commercial macitentan in their country of residence. The "parent studies" are fully or partially running in countries where no access to commercial macitentan is expected in the near future.
