- clinical worsening at the longest follow-up: a.death due to any cause, b.hospitalization due to worsening of PH, including: i.Documented right heart failure, OR ii.Need for lung transplantation, OR iii.Need for intravenous diuretics and/or inotropic support, OR iv. Need for parental prostanoids c. decline in 6MWD by ≥15% from baseline, combined with WHO functional class III or IV IV(confirmed on a second test within 7 days and both conditions met)

简要总结
To estimate, using a Bayesian analysis, the risk of clinical worsening associated with discontinuation of riociguat monotherapy after successful BPA in CTEPH patients over a follow-up period of at least 12 months, compared with continuation, as assessed by the primary endpoint.

- •Significant obstructive or restrictive lung disease, defined as: FEV₁ < 60% of predicted, with FEV₁/FVC < 65% and/or total lung capacity (TLC) < 60% of predicted, or known significant chronic lung disease diagnosed via imaging (e.g., interstitial lung disease, emphysema)

- •Any condition or factor likely to interfere with protocol compliance, in the opinion of the investigator
- •Participation in another interventional trial or being in the exclusion period following a previous research involving the human person

结局指标
主要结局
clinical worsening at the longest follow-up: a.death due to any cause, b.hospitalization due to worsening of PH, including: i.Documented right heart failure, OR ii.Need for lung transplantation, OR iii.Need for intravenous diuretics and/or inotropic support, OR iv. Need for parental prostanoids c. decline in 6MWD by ≥15% from baseline, combined with WHO functional class III or IV IV(confirmed on a second test within 7 days and both conditions met)

次要结局
- Change from baseline to Months 3, 6,12 and every 6 months until the last enrolled patient has completed the minimum 12-month follow-up in 6MWD, WHO FC, NT-proBNP levels, and quality of life measured by the generic EQ-5D-5L and the disease-specific EmPHasis-10.
- Change from baseline to Month 12 in right atrial pressure, mPAP, cardiac output and PVR.
- Health economic outcomes: incremental cost effectiveness ratio (difference in costs/difference in QALYS) of riociguat monotherapy withdrawal for the French public health system.
- Treatment burden assessed at baseline and Month 12
- Occurrence at the longest follow-up (minimum 12 months) of individual components of the primary endpoint
