Pharmacokinetics

The concentration-time profile of macitentan was characterized by slow absorption (median time to maximum plasma concentration [t(max)] 9-10 h) and slow elimination (mean elimination half-life [t ½] 11-15 h) A minor, not clinically relevant, pharmacokinetic interaction was observed between Macitentan and sildenafil.

Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Overall Score From Baseline to Week 16

HAQ-DI assesses functional ability regarding fine movements of the upper extremities, locomotor activities in the lower extremities, and movements of the upper and lower limbs. Responses were extracted from the Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire covering 8 domains of functional disability (dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and other daily activities). A mean score ranging from 0-3 was calculated for each domain, and a composite score by dividing the summed domain scores by the number of domains. The composite score was interpreted as 0 (no impairment in function) to 3 (maximal impairment of function). (NCT01474109)

Responses were extracted from the Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire covering 8 domains of functional disability (dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and other daily activities). A mean score ranging from 0-3 was calculated for each domain, and a composite score by dividing the summed domain scores by the number of domains. The composite score was interpreted as 0 (no impairment in function) to 3 (maximal impairment of function). Hand functionality was assessed using a composite of 4 domains (dressing and grooming, grip, hygiene, and eating). (NCT01474122)

Change in WHO Functional Class (FC) at Month 6 and 12

Class I: no symptoms with exercise or at rest. No limitation of activity. Class II: No symptoms at rest but slight limitation with ordinary activities causing symptoms (e.g. short of breath with climbing stairs). Class III: may not have symptoms at rest but activities greatly limited by shortness of breath, fatigue, or near fainting. Class IV: symptoms at rest and inability to carry out any physical activity without symptoms. Patients in class IV manifest signs of right heart failure. For missing WHO FC values in the OL study, the following imputation rules were applied: If the reason for missing data was death, class IV was imputed for all WHO visits from the date of death. For any other reasons, the last available value was carried forward. (NCT01739400)

Change From Baseline to Week 16 in WHO Functional Class

A shift in WHO functional classes is considered an 'improvement' when shifting to a lower class (e.g. from class III to class II) or a 'worsening' when shifting to a higher class (e.g. from class III to class IV). Definition of functional classes as follows - Class I: no symptoms with exercise or at rest. Class II: No symptoms at rest but uncomfortable and short of breath with normal activity such as climbing a flight of stairs, grocery shopping, or making the bed. Class III: May not have symptoms at rest but activities greatly limited by shortness of breath, fatigue, or near fainting (e.g. doing normal chores around the house, have to take breaks while doing activities of daily living). Class IV: Symptoms at rest and severe symptoms with any activity. Most patients also have edema in the feet and ankles as result of right heart failure. (NCT01743001)

Change From Baseline to Week 16 in Quality of Life (QoL), Assessed by the Short Form-36 (SF-36) Questionnaire

"The SF-36 is a multi-purpose, short-form health survey with 36 questions. It yields an 8-scale profile of the functional health and well-being scores (i.e., physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional and mental health), as well as psychometrically based physical and mental health summary measures and a preference-based health utility (health rated as much better now than one year ago to much worse now than one year ago). It is a generic measure, as opposed to one that targets a specific age, disease, or treatment group.~For each of the domains and scores that the SF36 measures an aggregate percentage score is produced. The percentage scores range from 0% (lowest or worst possible level of functioning) to 100% (highest or best possible level of functioning). A higher score for the individual domains and summary component scores indicates a better condition of the subject." (NCT01743001)

Assessment of the Sensitivity to Detect Change in the Symptoms and Impacts Domain Scores of the PAH-SYMPACT From Baseline to Week 16.

Sensitivity to change is an aspect of construct validity and represents the instrument's ability to detect underlying change. Sensitivity to change was examined to compare the difference in mean score in each domain of the PAH-SYMPACT. The symptoms and impacts domains consisted of 11 items each reported on a 7-point Likert Scale (from 0=no symptom/with no difficulty at all/not at all to 6=very severe symptoms/very much/extremely/not able at all). An average symptoms domain score is determined based on the daily scores of the containing items. An average impacts domain score is determined based on the items in the domain. (NCT01841762)

Proportion of Subjects With Worsening in WHO Functional Class (FC) From Baseline to Week 24

WHO functional classes are defined as follows: 1) class I: no symptoms with exercise or at rest. No limitation of activity. 2) class II: No symptoms at rest but slight limitation with ordinary activities causing symptoms (e.g. short of breath with climbing a flight of stairs, grocery shopping, or making the bed). 3) class III: may not have symptoms at rest but activities greatly limited by shortness of breath, fatigue, or near fainting. 4) class IV: symptoms at rest (such as dyspnea and/or fatigue) and inability to carry out any physical activity without symptoms (e.g. may faint especially while bending over with their heads lowered). Patients in class IV manifest signs of right heart failure. Shifting to a higher class (e.g. from class III to class IV) represents a 'worsening' while shifting to a lower class (e.g. from class III to class II) means an 'improvement'. (NCT02021292)

World Health Organization (WHO) Functional Classification

"The WHO functional classification will be assessed and documented with the WHO Class.~Class I Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) but without resulting limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain or near syncope.~Class II Patients with PH resulting in a slight limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity causes undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain or near syncope.~Class III Patients with PH resulting in marked limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary activity causes undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain or near syncope.~Class IV Patients with PH with inability to carry out any physical activity without symptoms. These patients manifest signs of right heart failure. Dyspnea and/or fatigue may even be present at rest. Discomfort is increased by any physical activity.~The Class is inversely related to function." (NCT02651272)

Change From Baseline to Week 24 in the Clinical Summary Score Assessed by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) Score

The KCCQ is a validated health related quality of life measure for heart failure. The KCCQ is a 23-item, self-administered instrument that quantifies physical function, symptoms (frequency, severity and recent change), social function, self-efficacy and knowledge, and quality of life. Clinical summary score is one of the quality of life variable of interest derived from KCCQ. Clinical summary score is the mean of domains: physical limitations score (6 items) and total symptom score (2 items [symptoms frequency and symptom burden]). The score is calculated by summing domain responses and then transforming scores to a 0-100 unit scale with higher scores indicating better health status. (NCT03153111)
