A Multi-center, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 2b Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Macitentan in Subjects With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction and Pulmonary Vascular Disease

This is a study to evaluate whether macitentan is an effective and safe treatment for
patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and pulmonary vascular
disease.

The primary objective is to evaluate whether macitentan 10 mg reduces N-terminal pro-brain
natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) as compared to placebo in these patients.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Signs or symptoms of Heart Failure (HF) (NYHA FC I I and II I ) requiring treatment
with at least one oral diuretic (any type)

- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 40% (by echocardiography at Screening)

- Structural heart disease consistent with heart failure with preserved ejection
fraction (HFpEF) established by echocardiography at Screening

- HF hospitalization within 12 months prior to Screening and/or cardiac catheterization
performed within 6 months prior to Screening showing PAWP or LVEDP > 15 mmHg

- Elevated NT-proBNP

- Pulmonary vascular disease or right ventricular dysfunction

Exclusion Criteria:

- Any prior measurement of LVEF < 40%.

- Cardiovascular co-morbidities (e.g., significant unrepaired structural valvular heart
disease; acute coronary syndrome, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI) within 3 months of Screening; uncontrolled heart rate from
atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, history of serious life-threatening or
hemodynamically significant arrhythmia; history of or anticipated heart transplant or
ventricular assist device implantation, etc)

- Systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 180 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 110 mmHg
during Screening

- Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 45 kg/m2

- Hemoglobin < 100g/L (< 10 g/dl) at Screening.

- Significant parenchymal lung disease (e.g., severe COPD, moderate or severe
restrictive lung disease, diffuse interstitial fibrosis or alveolitis, pulmonary
thromboembolism)

- Severe renal dysfunction with an estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) < 30
mL/min per 1.73 m2

- Severe hepatic impairment, e.g., Child Pugh Class C.

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
