A Study of Real-world Cohort of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) Participants

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to describe the time to all-cause death and time to death due to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or first hospitalization due to PAH in the overall study population and within each cohort.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Symptomatic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in any PAH subtype

- PAH diagnosis confirmed by hemodynamic evaluation at rest at any time prior to or at
the index date fulfilling all of the criteria below: a) Mean pulmonary artery pressure
greater than (>) 20 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), and b) Pulmonary artery wedge
pressure or left ventricular end diastolic pressure less than or equal to (<=) 15 mm
Hg, and c) Pulmonary vascular resistance greater than or equal to (>=) 3 Wood Units
(that is, >= 240 dynes seconds per centimeters penta [dyn?sec/cm^5])

- Participant satisfies either a or b: a) Newly initiating 1 or more PAH therapy(ies)
(as monotherapy or add-on therapy) at index date. These newly initiated PAH therapies
should not have been used within 3 months of the index date; b) Taking macitentan 10
milligrams (mg) therapy (as monotherapy or in combination) with no changes in PAH
therapy for within 3 months prior to the index date

- All mandated assessments must be performed and recorded at the baseline visit before
the initiation of the new PAH therapy at the index date or enrollment in the study.

- For the pulmonary arterial hypertension-symptoms and impact (PAH-SYMPACT) substudy
only: Participants initiating any endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) or
phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor therapies at index date or at therapy change must
provide consent to enroll in the optional PAH-SYMPACT substudy. Refusal to give
consent for the optional PAH-SYMPACT substudy will not exclude a participant from
participation in the main study

Exclusion Criteria:

- Participants enrolled in any interventional clinical trial with an investigational
therapy in the 3-month period prior to index date

- Currently enrolled in an observational study sponsored or managed by a Janssen company

- Presence of moderate or severe obstructive lung disease (forced expiratory volume in 1
second [FEV1] / forced vital capacity [FVC] <70%; and FEV1 <60% of predicted after
bronchodilator administration) in participants with a known or suspected history of
significant lung disease, as documented by a spirometry test performed within 1 year
prior to screening

- Presence of moderate or severe restrictive lung disease (for example, total lung
capacity or FVC <60 percent [%] of normal predicted value) in participants with a
known or suspected history of significant lung disease, as documented by a spirometry
test performed within 1 year prior to screening

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
