After the starting dose of 200 mcg twice daily, all patients completed titration to their maintenance dose within the first 12 weeks, up to a maximum dose of 1600 mcg twice daily.
Primary endpoint: time to first PAH disease progression event
Death
Hospitalization for PAH
Need for lung transplantation or balloon atrial septostomy for worsening of PAH
Parenteral prostanoid or chronic oxygen therapy
Other disease progression (decrease in 6MWD plus worsening of FC or need for other therapy)
Baseline patient characteristics
Mean age: 48 years
Female: 80%
*Other=drugs and toxins (2%) and HIV (1%).
