Primary Outcome(s)

Main Objective: To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of the pediatric formulation of bosentan in children with IPAH or familial PAH.

The primary endpoint analysis will be the analysis of tolerability and safety endpoints:

· Treatment-emergent adverse events up to 24 hours after permanent discontinuation of study drug.

· Adverse events leading to premature discontinuation of study drug.

· Serious adverse events up to 28 days after permanent discontinuation of study drug.

· Changes from baseline to Study End in vital signs, body weight, and height.

· Treatment-emergent marked laboratory abnormalities.
Primary end point(s): In addition to long-term tolerability and safety information, the FUTURE 2 study will provide an opportunity to assess quality of life and functional status of the paediatric population using the new formulation.

Secondary Objective: Exploratory efficacy endpoints:

· Change from Baseline in FUTURE 1 to Study End or Premature study drug discontinuation (FUTURE 1 or 2) in:

- WHO functional class
- Quality of life questionnaire (SF-10 for childrenTM)
- Global Clinical Impression scale according to the parents/legal representatives
- Global Clinical Impression scale according to the physician

· From Baseline in FUTURE 1, time to worsening of PAH, defined as death or transplantation or hospitalization for PAH worsening.

· From Baseline in FUTURE 1, time to worsening of PAH or initiation of new therapy for PAH or new right heart failure or worsening of right heart failure.
