The safety and efficacy at 100 mg once daily for oral dose of sitaxentan sodium were demonstrated in the STRIDE clinical trial program. Sitaxentan sodium was approved in the EU, Canada and Australia. In this study, the long-term safety and efficacy after administrations of sitaxentan sodium at a dose of 100 mg alone or in combination with another medication will be investigated in Japanese PAH patients.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Number of participants with any adverse events, severe adverse events, serious adverse events
Time frame: Up to 22 days (last participant discontinuation)
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Worsening
Clinical worsening is defined as 1) Hospitalization for worsening pulmonary arterial hypertension, 2) On-study death, 3) Heart-lung or lung transplantation, 4) Atrial septostomy, 5) Addition of the chronic medications for the treatment of worsening pulmonary arterial hypertension, and 6) Initiation of oxygen.
Time frame: Up to 22 days (last participant discontinuation)
Change From Baseline in 6-Minute Walk Distance
Change from baseline in 6-minute walk distance is calculated as the value at each time point (every 12 weeks until Week 48 and every 24 weeks after Week 48) minus value at baseline.
Time frame: Up to 22 days (last participant discontinuation)
Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in WHO Functional Class
The change from baseline in WHO functional class was classified into "Improved", "No change" and "Worsened". The change from baseline in WHO functional class is summarised with percentage of participants at each time point (every 12 weeks until Week 48 and every 24 weeks after Week 48).
Time frame: Up to 22 days (last participant discontinuation)
Change From Baseline in Blood Concentration of N-amino Terminal Fragment of the Prohormone Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-pro BNP)
Change from baseline in Blood Concentration of NT-pro BNP is calculated as the value at each time point (every 12 weeks until Week 48 and every 24 weeks after Week 48) minus value at baseline.
Time frame: Up to 22 days (last participant discontinuation)
