Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to enable participants with pulmonary hypertension (PH) currently treated with study intervention(s) in a clinical study (parent studies [NCT03422328, NCT03904693 and NCT04565990]), to continue to benefit from the intervention after closure of the parent study in case they have no alternative means of access to the study intervention. This study will allow assessment of the long-term safety of each study intervention.

• Known and documented severe hepatic impairment that is, Child-Pugh Class C. For participants with hepatic impairment, Child-Pugh Class (Child-Pugh score) should be fully assessed and documented in the source documents at screening

Macitentan/tadalafil FDC-specific:

• Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to macitentan or tadalafil or their excipients

• Hemoglobin <80 g/L

• Serum aspartate (AST) and/or alanine aminotransferases (ALT) >3* ULN range

• Known and documented severe hepatic impairment that is, Child-Pugh Class C. For participants with hepatic impairment, Child-Pugh Class should be fully assessed and documented in the source documents at screening

• Severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGF]/creatinine clearance <30 milliliter per minute [mL/min])

Intervention

Drug:
• Macitentan
Adult participants will receive oral dose of macitentan 10 milligrams (mg) tablet once daily. Children greater than or equal to (>=) 2 year to less than (<) 18 years will be given an oral macitentan dose tailored to their body weight, ensuring an equivalent level of systemic exposure as in adults.
• Selexipag
Participant will receive oral dose of selexipag tablet twice daily at the dose strength corresponding to their maintenance dose at the end of their parent study. Available strengths: 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400 and 1600 micrograms.
• Macitentan/Tadalafil FDC
Participants will receive oral FDC of macitentan 10 mg and tadalafil 40 mg once daily during the course of the study as already received in the parent studies.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Frequency of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)	An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. TEAEs are defined as AEs with onset or worsening on or after date of first dose of study treatment.	Baseline until End of Study (EOS) (up to 57 months)
Primary	Frequency of TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation	Frequency of TEAEs leading to discontinuation of study intervention will be reported. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. TEAEs are defined as AEs with onset or worsening on or after date of first dose of study treatment.	Baseline until EOS (up to 57 months)
Primary	Frequency of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)	SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product and is medically important.	Baseline until EOS (up to 57 months)
Primary	Frequency of Deaths	Frequency of deaths will be reported.	Baseline until EOS (up to 57 months)
