The aim of the study is to demonstrate that the exposure to bosentan in children with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or familial pulmonary arterial hypertension, using a pediatric formulation, is similar to that in adults with PAH and to evaluate the tolerability and safety of a pediatric formulation of bosentan in this patient population.

Pediatric oral formulation of bosentan, i.e., 32 mg dispersible and breakable tablets
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve during a dose interval (AUCt) for bosentan
AUCt was assessed at steady state (i.e., after at least 2 weeks of treatment with a same dose of the study drug) over 12 hours .
Time frame: At pre-dose and 0.5h, 1h, 3h, 7.5h, and 12h post-dose
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of bosentan and its metabolites
Maximum observed plasma concentration for bosentan and its metabolites was directly derived from their respective plasma concentration-time curves.
Time frame: At pre-dose and 0.5h, 1h, 3h, 7.5h, and 12h post-dose
Time to reach the maximum plasma concentration (tmax) of bosentan and its metabolites
Time frame: At pre-dose and 0.5h, 1h, 3h, 7.5h, and 12h post-dose
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve during a dose interval (AUCt) for the metabolites of bosentan
AUCt was assessed at steady state (i.e., after at least 2 weeks of treatment with a same dose of the study drug) over 12 hours.
Time frame: At pre-dose and 0.5h, 1h, 3h, 7.5h, and 12h post-dose
