Dispersible tablet; Oral use
Standard-of-care as per site's clinical practice which may comprise treatment with PAH non-specific treatment and/or up to two PAH-specific medications excluding macitentan and IV/SC prostanoids.
Participants >=2 Years of Age: Observed Steady-State Trough (Pre-dose) Plasma Concentration of Macitentan and Aprocitentan (Active Metabolite) at Week 12 Based on Body Weight
Observed steady-state trough (pre-dose) plasma concentration of macitentan and aprocitentan (active metabolite) at Week 12 based on body weight were reported. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed for specified arms only.
Time frame: Pre-dose at Week 12
Participants >=2 Years of Age: Observed Steady-State Trough (Pre-dose) Plasma Concentration of Macitentan and Aprocitentan (Active Metabolite) at Week 12 Based on Age Group
Observed steady-state trough (pre-dose) plasma concentration of macitentan and aprocitentan (active metabolite) at Week 12 based on age group were reported. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed for specified arms only.
Time frame: Pre-dose at Week 12
Participants <2 Years of Age: Observed Steady-State Trough (Pre-dose) Plasma Concentration of Macitentan and Aprocitentan (Active Metabolite) at Week 4
Observed steady-state trough (pre-dose) plasma concentration of macitentan and aprocitentan (active metabolite) at Week 4 were reported. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed for specified arms only.
Time frame: Pre-dose at Week 4
Participants From China With >=12 to <18 Years of Age: Observed Steady-State Trough (Pre-dose) Plasma Concentration of Macitentan and Aprocitentan (Active Metabolite) at Week 12
Observed steady-state trough (pre-dose) plasma concentration of macitentan and aprocitentan (active metabolite) at Week 12 were reported.
Time frame: Pre-dose at Week 12
Time to the First Clinical Event Committee (CEC)-Confirmed Disease Progression Event
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to end of core study period (EOCP; up to 7.08 years)
