Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Macitentan
Treatment: Drugs - Selexipag
Treatment: Drugs - Macitentan/Tadalafil FDC

Experimental: Macitentan - Participants who have completed a parent study, benefit from their study intervention maintenance and have no adequate alternative local treatment option will be enrolled in this study and will continue to receive study drug macitentan orally during the course of the study. For adult participants study visits will be scheduled every 6 months and for pediatric participants study visits will be scheduled every 3 months. The study includes on-site visits to collect efficacy and safety information until participant discontinuation/withdrawal, or the respective study intervention is made commercially available in the country/territory or an equivalent approved therapy becomes available, or the sponsor decides to terminate the study prematurely.

Experimental: Selexipag - Participants who have completed a parent study, benefit from their study intervention maintenance and have no adequate alternative local treatment option will be enrolled in this study and will continue to receive study drug selexipag orally during the course of the study. Study visits are scheduled every 6 months to collect efficacy and safety information until participant discontinuation/withdrawal, or the respective study intervention is made commercially available in the country/territory or an equivalent approved therapy becomes available, or the sponsor decides to terminate the study prematurely.

Experimental: Macitentan/Tadalafil FDC - Participants who have completed a parent study, benefit from their study intervention maintenance and have no adequate alternative local treatment option will be enrolled in this study and will continue to receive drug Macitentan and Tadalafil fixed dose combination (FDC) orally during the course of the study. Study visits are scheduled every 6 months to collect efficacy and safety information until participant discontinuation/withdrawal, or the respective study intervention is made commercially available in the country/territory or an equivalent approved therapy becomes available, or the sponsor decides to terminate the study prematurely.


Treatment: Drugs: Macitentan
Adult participants will receive oral dose of macitentan 10 milligrams (mg) tablet once daily. Children greater than or equal to (>=) 2 year to less than (<) 18 years will be given an oral macitentan dose tailored to their body weight, ensuring an equivalent level of systemic exposure as in adults.

Treatment: Drugs: Selexipag
Participant will receive oral dose of selexipag tablet twice daily at the dose strength corresponding to their maintenance dose at the end of their parent study. Available strengths: 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400 and 1600 micrograms.

Treatment: Drugs: Macitentan/Tadalafil FDC
Participants will receive oral FDC of macitentan 10 mg and tadalafil 40 mg once daily during the course of the study as already received in the parent studies.

representative must sign) indicating that participant understands the purpose of, and
procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to enable participants with pulmonary hypertension (PH) currently
treated with study intervention(s) in a clinical study (parent studies [NCT03422328,
NCT03904693 and NCT04565990]), to continue to benefit from the intervention after closure of
the parent study in case they have no alternative means of access to the study intervention.
This study will allow assessment of the long-term safety of each study intervention.
