Inclusion Criteria
  • Male (according to their reproductive organs and functions assigned by chromosomal complement)

If blood pressure is out of range, up to 2 repeated assessments are permitted
  • Heart rate between 45 and 90 beats per minute (bpm, inclusive) at screening and on Day -5
Exclusion Criteria
  • History of malignancy within 5 years before screening (exceptions are squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or malignancy, which is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence)
  • Use of any prescription or nonprescription medication (including vitamins and herbal supplements), except for paracetamol (acetaminophen) within 14 days before the first dose of the study drug is scheduled until completion of the study
  • A participant who has been on a known cytochrome P450 (CYP) inhibitor or inducer or transport inhibitor or inducer should be excluded from the study based upon the duration of the inhibitor or inductive effect and also at least 5 terminal half-lives of the drug, vitamin or herbal supplements
  • Orthostatic hypotension (greater than [>] 20 mmHg decrease in SBP or >10 mmHg decrease in DBP after 2 minutes of standing compared to supine blood pressure)
  • One or more of the following lab abnormalities at screening, defined as grade 1 or more by the World Health Organisation (WHO) Toxicity Grading Scale for Determining the Severity of Adverse Events, February 2003: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) greater than or equal to (>=) 1.25 * upper limit of normal (ULN), total bilirubin >=1.25 * ULN, and Hemoglobin less than or equal to (<=) 10.5 gram per deciliter (g/dL)

GroupInterventionDescription
Part B: Macitentan + Substrate Drug (Rosuvastatin)MacitentanParticipants will receive a single dose of film-coated tablet of rosuvastatin under fasted condition (Treatment A1), then macitentan under fed condition (Treatment B1) followed by rosuvastatin along with macitentan under fasted condition followed by macitentan under fed condition (Treatment B2). Macitentan will be administered in an up-titration regimen. Part B of the study will be conducted depending on the results of Part A and feedback from Health Authorities.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part A and Part B: Maximum Observed Plasma Analyte Concentration (Cmax) of Sildenafil, Riociguat, RosuvastatinUp to 25 days

Cmax is defined as the maximum observed plasma analyte concentration.

Part A and Part B: Area Under the Plasma Analyte Concentration-time Curve from Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC[0-infinity]) of Sildenafil, Riociguat, RosuvastatinUp to 25 days

AUC(0-infinity) is defined as area under the plasma analyte concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite time.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part A: Area Under the Plasma Analyte Concentration-time Curve from Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC[0-infinity]) of Desmethyl-sildenafil, M1 (Metabolite of Riociguat) and ACT-132577 (Metabolite of Macitentan)Up to 25 days

AUC(0-infinity) is defined as area under the plasma analyte concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite time.

Part A and Part B: Trough Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of Macitentan and ACT-132577Up to 25 days

Ctrough is defined as the observed plasma concentration before dosing or at the end of the dosing interval.

Part B: Number of Participants with Adverse Event as a Measure of Safety and TolerabilityUp to Day 45

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.

Part A: Maximum Observed Plasma Analyte Concentration (Cmax) of Desmethyl-sildenafil, M1 and ACT-132577Up to 25 days

Cmax is defined as the maximum observed plasma analyte concentration.

Part A and Part B: Area Under the Plasma Analyte Concentration-time Curve from 0 to Time t of the Last Measured Concentration (AUC[0-t]) of Sildenafil, Desmethyl-sildenafil, Riociguat, M1, Macitentan, ACT-132577, RosuvastatinUp to 25 days

AUC(0-t) is defined as area under the plasma analyte concentration-time curve from time 0 to time t of the last measured concentration above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), calculated according to the linear trapezoidal rule, using the measured concentration-time values above the LLOQ.

Part A and Part B: Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Analyte Concentration (Tmax) of Sildenafil, Desmethyl-sildenafil, Riociguat, M1, Macitentan, ACT-132577, RosuvastatinUp to 25 days

Tmax is defined as actual sampling time to reach maximum observed plasma analyte concentration.

Part A and Part B: Apparent Elimination Half-life (t1/2) of Sildenafil, Desmethyl-sildenafil, Riociguat, M1, Macitentan, ACT-132577, RosuvastatinUp to 25 days

t1/2 is defined as the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by 1 half of its original concentration. It is associated with the terminal slope of the semilogarithmic drug concentration-time curve, calculated as t1/2=0.693/ lambda(z).
