1.Primary Outcome
Title Absolute Change From Baseline to Week 16 in 6-Minute Walk Distance (6MWD) During the Double-blind Treatment Period
Hide Description The 6MWD test is a non-encouraged test, performed in a 30-meter long flat corridor, where the patient is instructed to walk as far as possible, back and forth around two cones during 6 minutes. They can slow down, rest, or stop if needed. This test is used to assess exercise capacity. The test was performed about 30 minutes after study drug administration. Any increase in the walk distance was considered improvement from baseline.
Time Frame Day 1 and Week 16
Hide Outcome Measure Data
Hide Analysis Population Description
Only Participants in the double-blind treatment period were included if they received at least one dose of study drug and had at least one post-baseline efficacy measure at Week 16. Due to early study termination (about 30% of the enrollment goal) the study was severely under-powered and no accurate statistical analyses could be performed.

2.Secondary Outcome
Title Number of Subjects With WHO Functional Class (WHO FC) Improvement at Week 16
Hide Description This test is used to assess disease severity. Four fucntional classes (FC) are defined from FC I (no limitation of physical activity) to FC IV (inability to carry out any physical activity without symptoms). Improvement is considered when a participant changes from a higher class to a lower class.

3.Secondary Outcome
Title Time to Clinical Worsening
Hide Description Clinical worsening is defined as one of the following: death due to worsening PAH, receipt of lung or heart-lung transplantation, or atrial septostomy, hospitalization for worsening PAH, any early discontinuation from study during the blinded or open-label phase due to worsening PAH, initiation of additional PAH-specific treatment. Due to insufficient data, time could not be assessed accurately and only number of patients with clinical worsening could be reported.

Hide Description The number of participants in the double-blind treatment period who showed improvement or worsening in the 6-MWT - from baseline distance between 100-450 meters - was assessed for each treatment group. The 6-minute walks were measured in meters. Any increase in walk distance at Week 16 was considered improvement from baseline, any decrease was considered as deterioration from baseline.
