Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Signed informed consent by the parent(s) or legally designated representative and assent from developmentally capable children prior to initiation of any study-mandated procedure
  • Males or females between greater than or equal to (>=) 1 month and less than (<) 18 years of age
  • Participants with body weight >= 3.5 kilograms (kg) at randomization
  • Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) diagnosis confirmed by historical RHC (mPAP greater than or equal to [>=] 25 millimeters of mercury [mmHg], and Pulmonary artery wedge pressure [PAWP] less than or equal to [<=] 15 mmHg, and Pulmonary vascular resistance index [PVRi] greater than [>] 3 WU × m2), where in the absence of pulmonary vein obstruction and/or significant lung disease PAWP can be replaced by Left atrium pressure [LAP] or Left ventricular end diastolic pressure [LVEDP] (in absence of mitral stenosis) assessed by heart catheterization
  • PAH belonging to the Nice 2013 Updated Classification Group 1 (including participants with Down Syndrome) and of following etiologies: idiopathic PAH; heritable PAH; PAH associated with congenital heart disease (CHD); Drug or toxin induced PAH; PAH associated with HIV; PAH associated with connective tissue diseases (PAH-aCTD); and World health organization (WHO) Functional class I to III
  • Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and at Baseline, and must agree to undertake monthly pregnancy tests, and to use a reliable method of contraception (if sexually active) up to the end of study (EOS)

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants with PAH due to portal hypertension, schistosomiasis, or with pulmonary veno-occlusive disease and/or pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis, and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn
  • Participants with PAH associated with Eisenmenger syndrome, or with moderate to large left-to-right shunts
  • Participants receiving a combination of > 2 PAH-specific treatments at randomization.
  • Treatment with intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) prostanoids within 4 weeks before randomization, unless given for vasoreactivity testing
  • Hemoglobin or hematocrit <75 percent (%) of the lower limit of normal range
  • Serum Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) greater than (>) 3 times the upper limit of normal range
  • Pregnancy (including family planning) or breastfeeding.
  • Any circumstances or conditions, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may affect full participation in the study or compliance with the protocol
  • Severe hepatic impairment, for example Child-Pugh Class C
  • Clinical signs of hypotension which in the investigator's judgment would preclude initiation of a PAH-specific therapy
  • Severe renal insufficiency (estimated creatinine clearance <30 mL/min or serum creatinine >221 micro-moles per liter [micro-mol/L])
  • Participants with known diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Treatment and study plan

Macitentan

Drug

Dispersible tablet; Oral use

Other names: ACT-064992

Standard-of-care

Other

Standard-of-care as per site's clinical practice which may comprise treatment with PAH non-specific treatment and/or up to two PAH-specific medications excluding macitentan and IV/SC prostanoids.

Primary outcomes

  1. Participants >=2 Years of Age: Observed Steady-State Trough (Pre-dose) Plasma Concentration of Macitentan and Aprocitentan (Active Metabolite) at Week 12 Based on Body Weight

    Time frame: Pre-dose at Week 12

    Time frame: Pre-dose at Week 12

    Observed steady-state trough (pre-dose) plasma concentration of macitentan and aprocitentan (active metabolite) at Week 12 based on age group were reported. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed for specified arms only.

  3. Participants <2 Years of Age: Observed Steady-State Trough (Pre-dose) Plasma Concentration of Macitentan and Aprocitentan (Active Metabolite) at Week 4

    Time frame: Pre-dose at Week 4

    Observed steady-state trough (pre-dose) plasma concentration of macitentan and aprocitentan (active metabolite) at Week 4 were reported. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed for specified arms only.

  4. Participants From China With >=12 to <18 Years of Age: Observed Steady-State Trough (Pre-dose) Plasma Concentration of Macitentan and Aprocitentan (Active Metabolite) at Week 12

    Time frame: Pre-dose at Week 12
