Change From Baseline in Total Distance Walked During 6 Minute Walk Distance (6MWD) at Week 12
6 MWD was the distance that a participant could walk in 6 minutes. Participants were asked to perform the test at a pace that was comfortable to them, with as many breaks as they needed. Continuous pulse oximetry was conducted during the test for safety. Change is Week 12 results minus baseline results.
Time frame: Baseline/Day 1 and Week 12
Number of Participants With Change From Baseline in World Health Organization (WHO) Functional Classification at Weeks 4, 8 and 12
WHO functional classification for PAH ranges from Class I (no limitation in physical activity, no dyspnea with normal activity) to Class IV (cannot perform a physical activity without any symptoms, dyspnea at rest). Improvement = reduction in functional class, deterioration = increase in functional class, no change = no change in functional class.
Time frame: Baseline, Weeks 4, 8 and 12 or Early Termination (ET)
Time to Clinical Worsening (TTCW)
TTCW defined as the number of days between first dose of study drug and the occurrence of a predefined clinical worsening event. Predefined clinical worsening events included: hospitalization for worsening PAH, on-study death, heart-lung or lung transplant, atrial septostomy or withdrawal due to the addition of any chronic medications for the treatment of worsening PAH.
Time frame: Baseline, Weeks 4, 8 and 12 or ET
