subjects must not have changed their dose <4 weeks prior to the screening visit)
10. Subject has a history of angina pectoris that was treated with long or short-acting nitrates <12 weeks of screening or nitrate use for any other condition within 48 hours of screening

Primary Outcome(s)
|
Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is the time to the first clinical failure event of PAH. Time to clinical failure is defined as the time from randomisation to the first occurrence of: • Death (all-cause) • Hospitalization for worsening PAH (adjudicated) i. Any hospitalization for worsening PAH ii. Lung or heart/lung transplant iii. Atrial septostomy iv. Initiation of parenteral prostanoid therapy • Disease progression (adjudicated) i. >15% decrease from baseline in 6MWD combined with WHO class III or IV symptoms (at two consecutive post-baseline clinic visits separated by =14 days) • Unsatisfactory long-term clinical response (adjudicated, all criteria required) i. Receiving at least one dose of randomised treatment and being in the study for at least 6 months ii. A decrease from baseline in 6MWD at two consecutive post-baseline clinic visits separated by =14 days iii. Sustained WHO class III symptoms for =6 months (WHO class III symptoms assessed at two clinic visits separated by =6 months)
Time to clinical worsening (death, hospitalization for worsening PAH, or disease progression) and long-term survival (time to death) will be examined as supportive analyses of the primary endpoint.
|
Main Objective: To compare the two treatment strategies; first-line combination therapy (ambrisentan AND tadalafil) versus first-line monotherapy (ambrisentan OR tadalafil) in treatment naive subjects with PAH. This will be assessed by time to the first clinical failure event.
|
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 0, 4, 8, 16, 24 and then every 12 weeks until 105 events are reported for the study
|
Secondary Objective: To compare the change in other clinical measures of PAH after initiating first-line combination therapy or first-line monotherapy, in subjects with PAH.
The safety and tolerability of first-line combination therapy will be compared to first-line monotherapy.
In addition, the effect of ambrisentan on exercise capacity at both peak and trough plasma concentrations will be assessed in subjects with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
|
Secondary Outcome(s)
|
Secondary end point(s): 6 Minute Walk Distance and Borg Dyspnea Index: The 6MWD will be assessed at each clinic visit, and The Borg Dyspnea Index score will be collected at each clinic visit. It should be performed immediately after the 6MWD test.
|
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 24
