What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Exercise Capacity as Measured by 6-minute Walking Distance (6MWD) Month 6 and 12

    NOTE: The MAESTRO-OL study was exploratory in nature and no primary efficacy and safety endpoint were defined in the clinical protocol. This and the other exploratory efficacy outcome measures posted were selected to be reported as a primary endpoints. All efficacy analyses were considered exploratory. The analyses of the exploratory efficacy endpoints focused on the absolute values and on the change from DB baseline to Week 16 in the DB study and to Month 6 and Month 12 in the OL study. For missing 6MWD values in the OL study, the following imputation rules were applied: If the reason for missing data was death, a distance of zero (0) meters was imputed for all 6MWD visits from the date of death. For any other reasons, the last available value was carried forward.

    Measured: From baseline in DB parent study (AC-055-305, NCT01743001) up to month 12 in this OL study.

  2. 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.

    Measured: From baseline in DB parent study (AC-055-305, NCT01743001) up to month 12 in this OL study.

  3. Change in Borg Dyspnea Score at Month 6 and 12

    The Borg dyspnea score rates the severity of dyspnea (difficult or labored breathing) on a scale from 0 ('Nothing at all') to 10 ('Very, very severe - maximal'). For missing Borg dyspnea index values in the OL study, the following imputation rules were applied: If the reason for missing data was death, a value of 10 was imputed for all Borg visits from the date of death. For any other reasons, the last available value was carried forward.

    Measured: From baseline in DB parent study (AC-055-305, NCT01743001) up to month 12 in this OL study.

  4. Change in Peripheral Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) at Rest at Month 6 and 12

    No imputation of missing data for SpO2 was applied. Oxygen saturation assessed by pulse oximetry: peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) at rest before the 6-minute walk test (6MWT)

    Measured: From baseline in DB parent study (AC-055-305, NCT01743001) up to month 12 in this OL study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Macitentan 10 mg tablet, once daily. in people with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, run by Actelion at 51 sites in 19 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 51 sites in China, United States, France, Bulgaria, Germany and 14 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Apr 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Exercise Capacity as Measured by 6-minute Walking Distance (6MWD) Month 6 and 12 (time frame: From baseline in DB parent study (AC-055-305, NCT01743001) up to month 12 in this OL study.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Apr 2019.
