Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of Participants Experiencing Significant Fluid Retention or Worsening in NYHA Functional Class (FC) up to End-of-treatment
The main endpoint is the number of participants who had at least one of the following: A) significant fluid retention, defined as increase in body weight at any time by ≥ 5% or ≥ 5 kg from baseline due to fluid overload and/or parenteral administration of diuretics. B) Worsening of NYHA functional class from baseline.
From randomization up to End-of-Study (Week 12 + 30 days follow-up) plus 1 calendar day
Secondary Outcomes (7)
NT-proBNP at Week 12 Expressed as Percent of Baseline NT-proBNP at Rest
From randomization up to end of treatment period (Week 12)
PVR at Rest at Week 12 Expressed as Percent of Baseline PVR at Rest
From randomization up to end of treatment period (Week 12)
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Mean Pulmonary Arterial Pressure (mPAP)
From randomization up to end of treatment period (Week 12)
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Mean Right Atrial Pressure (mRAP)
From randomization up to end of treatment period (Week 12)
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure (PAWP)
From randomization up to end of treatment period (Week 12)
- +2 more secondary outcomes
