Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this open-label (OL) extension trial is to study the long-term safety and efficacy of macitentan in subjects with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) beyond the treatment in the double-blind parent SERENADE study (AC-055G202, NCT03153111). Furthermore, this OL extension study will give eligible subjects of the main study (SERENADE/AC-055G202, NCT03153111) an opportunity to continue or start receiving macitentan.

Inclusion Criteria
- •Signed and dated Informed Consent Form (ICF).

- •A woman of childbearing potential is eligible only if: (1) Negative pre-treatment serum pregnancy test; (2) Agreement to undertake monthly pregnancy tests from the enrollment visit up to at least 30 days after study treatment discontinuation; and (2) Agreement to use reliable contraception from at least 30 days prior to the enrollment visit up to at least 30 days after study treatment discontinuation.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Premature discontinuation of study treatment in the main study (SERENADE/AC-055G202, NCT03153111) due to an adverse event related to: (1) Edema or fluid retention; (2) Worsening of heart failure; (3) Liver aminotransferase elevation; and (4) Study treatment, based on investigators' discretion
- •Liver aminotransferase elevations, at the enrollment visit, fulfilling the following criteria: (1) Alanine amino transferase (ALT) / aspartate aminotransferase (AST) greater than or equal to (>=) 8 * the upper limit of normal (ULN); (2) ALT/AST >= 3 * ULN and associated clinical symptoms of liver injury, for example: nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, jaundice, unusual lethargy or fatigue, flu-like syndrome (arthralgia, myalgia, fever); and (3) ALT/AST >= 3 * ULN and associated increase in total bilirubin to >= 2 * ULN
- •Treatment with the following forbidden medications within 1 month prior to the enrollment visit: (1) Treatments that may interfere with the assessment of efficacy (that is, endothelin receptor antagonists, prostanoids, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, guanylate cyclase stimulators); (2) Strong cytochrome P-450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inducers such as rifabutin, rifampin, rifampicin, rifapentin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, or St. John's wort; (3) Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, clarithromycin, telithromycin, nefazodone, ritonavir, and saquinavir or a moderate dual CYP3A4/CYP2C9 inhibitor (for example, fluconazole or amiodarone) or co-administration of a combination of moderate CYP3A4 (for example, ciprofloxacin, cyclosporine, diltiazem, erythromycin, verapamil) and moderate CYP2C9 inhibitors (for example, miconazole, piperine), in the 1-month period prior to baseline. This will not necessarily apply to participants who are already well-managed on such an ongoing combination; and (4) any other investigational treatment
- •Pregnant, planning to be become pregnant or lactating.
- •Any known factor or disease that might interfere with treatment compliance, study conduct, or interpretation of the results, such as drug or alcohol dependence or psychiatric disease.
- •Known hypersensitivity to macitentan or drugs of the same class, or any of the study drug excipients (for example, soy lecithin, lactose)
Arms & Interventions

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) up to 30 Days After Study Treatment Discontinuation
Time Frame: Up to 30 days after study treatment discontinuation (treatment exposure ranged from 0.4 to 126 weeks)
An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product. SAE is any AE that results in: death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product, is life-threatening experience, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect and may jeopardize participant and/or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. Any AE and SAE occurring at or after the study treatment start up to 30 days after end of treatment (EOT) within the analysis set was considered to be treatment-emergent.
Number of Participants With TEAEs Leading to Premature Discontinuation of Study Treatment
Time Frame: Up to 30 days after study treatment discontinuation (treatment exposure ranged from 0.4 to 126 weeks)
An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.
