Abstract

Exposure to bosentan, as shown comparing the results from this study with those from a study in adults, was different in paediatric and adult PAH patients. Since FUTURE-1 and past studies suggest a favourable benefit-risk profile for bosentan at 2 mg kg(-1) b.i.d., this dose is recommended for children with PAH. The new paediatric formulation was well tolerated.
